(Zombie) Guns in the library

My efforts to wake up the Kraken have been unsuccessful, short of poking him with a stick I don't know what to do. That would be really dangerous. Not as dangerous as this potentially is, but still, those tentacles really hurt.



It was only a month ago that he posted about the new board members, whose only qualification to oversee the library was their zeal to overturn the eminently reasonable idea that guns do not belong in the library, and we now see how fast things can move when zealots are running things.

I do not really have anything insightful to add, the sheer ridiculousness of it should be enough.

A simple observation though, whenever a tragedy occurs where some raging psychopath shoots up a public area and these gun-happy meatheads assert that it could have been prevented by someone there with a gun, does it ever occur to them that there was, in fact, someone with a gun there?
