I have always said banning guns is not the answer to gun violence.  The criminals will always have guns and the citizens will be unarmed and defenseless.

Re: *Happy Chanukah* *Happy Hanukkah*

I'm finding it hard to put a smile on my face today.  My heart goes out to the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach in Australia and also yesterday at Brown University in Rhode Island.  Today is the 11th anniversary of the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School here in Newtown, CT where I live.  Always a very tough day.  I want to wish my Jewish friends a very happy, healthy and joyous  Hanukkah.  Let's all find the good in this holiday season despite all the craziness of the world we live in.

FOOTAGE on X shows a full 10 minutes of the terror attack by two men during Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, where more than 1,000 people were in attendance.

 

At 3:41 the terrorist that was earlier tackled and disarmed by a civilian is seen walking up the stairs onto the bridge where the second terrorist is. He picks up the other terrorist's second gun and continues firing at innocent civilians.

 

Security seems to be lacking. It took a while for the cops to get there.  Gun control wasn't an issue for the shooters. They seemed to have plenty of ammo and weapons. As usual, it hurts the law-abiding, unarmed populace.
