Americans have become numb to shootings. IMO the gun lovers need to learn a lesson from President Trump and President Trump needs to learn a lesson from them. The lesson might be binned as how to unwind an interest.

President Trump has experience in bankruptcy, which is a traditional, even biblical, form of unwinding debt.

President Trump would do well by teaching gun lovers how to unwind their interest. Gun lovers are afraid that no one wants to carry on their torch. The fact is that most people love guns too. We love target shooters in the Olympics. We love craftsmen that repair them. We love woodsman that use them as honest tools.

Perhaps a good direction for discussion would be to license gun ownership based on need rather than sanity. Seek professionalism in hunting, targeting, and craftsmanship.

The obvious hole in my dream is that crazies will organize with professiolism as a pretext. And corporations are a mother fucker to deal with when pretext is an institution.
