One of Herschlag's finest pieces of writing. Incisive humor that poignantly underscores the magnitude of absurdity and destruction wrought by gun culture.

Anyone else ever noticed that the only modern use of the middle name is for the media to identify the shooter? "Wayne" is a popular middle name for mass murderers. of course, for Moslem shooters "Muhammed" and "Mohammad" are already taken as the first name. Haven't seen any mass murderer with pansy middle names like "Gail" or "Robin." Guys with middle names like that have psychological damage from birth, but not the kind that makes them want to take out random victims in public places.
