Dear Chuck,

Thanks for your email.

Check out "Chicks With Guns: 15 Million Pack" - http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2011/12/daily-post-120611-chicks-with-guns-15.html

I wonder what percentage of Americans will get guns (or ammo) this Christmas... brightly wrapped and lying aside el Niño Dios in his lowly manger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni%C3%B1o_Dios_of_Mexico

I'm reminded of yesterday's conversation about the need for research that tests "the obvious." 

What could be more "obvious" (to a rapidly dwindling majority of Americans) than the mistaken belief that "the best way to prevent gun violence is to arm every citizen to the teeth?" 

I recommend the "hijacking cartoon" at http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2012/07/gun-cartoons.html It portrays armed airline passengers keeping knife-wielding terrorists at bay.  

Also, I just updated my "Gun Violence Bibliography" - a useful and readable resource. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2012/12/gun-violence-bibliography.html

And don't miss "Are Israeli Teachers Armed?" - http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2012/12/are-israeli-teachers-armed.html

Or, perhaps you'd prefer "Soaring Sales of Armored Backpacks as Student Shields."  http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2012/12/sales-of-kids-armored-backpacks-soar.html  

Imagine.

The United States is a nation whose second largest political party permitted real guns at its recent presidential convention... but prohibited toy guns. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2012/08/toy-guns-outlawed-at-republican.html

In any event, I am greatly relieved that "it all ends today." http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/mayan-apocalypse-cheer-up-pal-1500227

Pax on both houses
