Who you going to call -
And in Seattle 
One more shot Sunday in the zone, 88 shot in Chicago & 24 shot in NYC on Saturday.
In Chicago a 13 year old was killed while sitting in her home. A 3 year old was also killed.
Will there be marches over these senseless shootings?
Tom asks: "Will there be marches over these senseless shootings?"
Umm, . . . . . no.
Just another weekend in Chicago.
See: HeyJackass!! Illustrating Chicago Values
I digress.
An article in our Sunday paper concerned children killed by guns. My state is number 4, which is bad. They interviewed parents of some of the victims, ages months to 16 years. A few were killed in drive by shootings aimed at a family member. Large number shot accidently by a sibling or childhood friend, or by the parent or other adult in the home. One father was showing his rifle to his friend. It happened to be loaded. The friend, admiring the gun, pulled the trigger and shot the father's 2 year old in the head. Dead, of course.
Many admitted they knew their loaded ones were accessible to the kids, intended to lock them up but hadn't gotten around to it. One said he wanted his kids to have access to the loaded guns in case of home invasion. Every year in the legislative session regulations are proposed to require pediatric practices and hospitals to include gun safety in their patient/parent education, but it seldom gets traction. Even so the pediatric hospital here has the question on its discharge instructions, "are there guns in the home" and gives out gun locking devices if answered in the affirmative. Many parents surveyed for the article said they had been given the locks but just put them away unused.
Many equate an emphasis on gun safety in the home with infringing on their gun control rights. How stupid is that?

Ammosexual lives matter.
Everyone's life matters.
Nah. Some are a waste of orange skin.
DonDiego apologizes. This was not just another weekend. The Chicago citizenry outdid themselves:

Wait, I missed the media frenzy driven headlines - where are they?
