bucket lists anyone?

I had heard that thing about the bump stock costing accuracy also, and that it was mainly for cheap thrills on the shooting range, but I guess, as Beagles pointed out, when you're shooting fish in a barrel all you have to hit is the barrel.  I didn't think there was any chance of banning them until I heard that the NRA was sort of coming out for banning them.  I reckon they are trying to stave off any attempt at making semis harder to get, but still it is unlike them to give an inch.  Well we shall see how this all works out.  This just in, Wayne Pierre is backing off that bumper ban.  Well at this stage everybody is waiting to hear what everybody else has to say, so again, we shall see.

Yar, I am one of those who thought the William Tell overture was the Lone Ranger Song.  Some time ago in watercolor class the teacher played Rhapsody in Blue and I wondered why she was playing the United Airlines song. 


Bucket list, I don't know, it sounds like you are taking yourself a little closer to pushing daisies, once you have done your bucket list, I guess you are just waiting around to die.  Putting a lot of items on the list however might extend your life, though I don't think the grim reaper accepts a bucket list as a legal document.  When I was a lad my family took me to the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown.  I was thrilled.  After we drove out of town I told them I could die, now that I'd seen it.  Didn't really mean it though.  I suppose a bucket list would be an interesting topic for the institute.  I sort of always wanted to see the Grand Canyon, and there is one more Sullivan skyscraper in New York City that I'd like to see,


Getting back to Las Vegas I remember reading an article in the NewYorker a couple years ago where they were studying kids with a tendency to mass murder.  They expected to find that they were a bunch of estranged losers, but it turned out they were all kinds of kids, including perfectly normal, popular, well-adjusted kids, who just happened to be into mass murder, the way some kids are into superheroes or video games.  It is a thing.  Sounds a little far-fetched so I looked up the article.  Here it is: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/10/19/thresholds-of-violence  If the link doesn't work for you I can copy it and paste it into an email for you.  I will have to read it again myself to see if I remember it right, but not this morning.

Anyway, now that this guy Paddock has shown how easily this can be done, and has set a new record, there have to be others thunking their foreheads with the heels of their hands thinking why didn't I think of that.  Fish in a barrel.  Should we stop building skyscrapers and holding concerts so as not to interfere with cheap thrills at the gun range?
