lawmakers make it easier to kill your boss
Geoff just told me that the little sandwich shop downstairs from his office has been closed since last week. although there are many reasons why businesses close, this time the facts are quite horrifying: owner tells employee he’s not cleaning well enough. employee stabs owner to death.
this made me think of Florida’s new “take-your-guns-to-work” measure. the bill, passed by the Senate and signed by the Governor just a few days ago, will allow workers to keep guns in their cars for self-protection. brilliant ! just what we need – another disgruntled employee going on a killing rampage. i am all for freedom, but stability not being one of the top qualities at the company i currently work for, i can honestly say i fear for my life.

Since I’ve moved downtown (Toronto) from the ‘burbs, I’ve been more aware of shooting stories in the news. There’s usually 3 or 6 ‘gang’ shootings somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area (population of 6,000,000+) every month. It seems alarming to me that there is even that many. In my entire life I’ve never seen any one who wasn’t a police officer carry a gun. I can’t even imagine how backwards a law being passed ALLOWING people to carry a firearm for protection is.
