Connecticut school massacre: Why?
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsEvery gun massacre is horrible, but this seems worst of all. If the preliminary reports are true, a gunman (or perhaps gunmen?) might have massacred an entire kindergarten class at an elementary school in Connecticut.

Trayvon Martin death shows the perils of Stand Your Ground law
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsWe've seen it before in Florida, and we'll see it again. A confrontation turns deadly, with shots fired under questionable circumstances.

Trayvon Martin death: How did Stand Your Ground pass Senate 39-0?
Mayo on the Side: Michael Mayo | Sun Sentinel BlogsThirty-nine yeas, zero nays. Hard to believe that such a bad bill could have been approved unanimously, but it was.

Thankfully, There Is No Right To Own Bombs
The Hartford CourantIn the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, I was thinking how thankful we, the American people, should be that the right to bear bombs was not included in the Second Amendment. If bombs were part of the Second Amendment, the National Rifle...Tags: Clint Eastwood, Barack Obama, Boston Marathon Bombing (2013), Crime, Law and Justice, Media Industry
