Quotation of the Day for January 23, 2016



"Gun control ends gun violence as surely an antibiotics end bacterial infections, as surely as vaccines end childhood measles--not perfectly and in every case, but overwhelmingly and everywhere that it's been taken seriously and tried at length. These lives can be saved. Kids continue to die en masse because one political party won't allow that to change, and the party won't allow it to change because of the irrational and often paranoid fixations that make the massacre of students and children an acceptable cost of fetishizing guns."

- Adam Gopnik, New Yorker, 10/2/2015
