        Not nearly as sad as how easy it would been to rent a gun and shoot someone else instead. Or a bunch of someone elses.

          Happy thoughts Tim, happy thoughts. You have been getting a bit dark lately.

            Dark times…but I seem to be my same cheerful self in real life so I’m not too worried.

            Besides, “nut shoots bunch of people at shooting range” would certainly be a brighter headline than “nut shoots bunch of people at airport” or nightclub, or wherever.

            Unless of course the folks at the range are Olympic contenders and the ones at the airport were mules, dodgy business owners, and dirty politicians. Or the night club was filled with vampires, dealers, and mob.
