(from https://www.jazzbooks.com/blog/the-office/why-musicians-cant-dance/)

". . . There is a strange phenomenon in the world of musical arts, and that is the mysterious inability for musicians to move their bodies in a graceful manner in response to music. The closest I’ve ever seen to a dancing musician was a guy playing the ukulele while singing and riding a unicycle (incredibly, he didn’t even have a music degree!) While this is a quite impressive feat, it doesn’t really count, does it? I’ve really never met a musician who could truly dance. Like Rodents of Unusual Size, I don’t think they exist. . . "

Argument . . .

 (from [and in response to]  https://www.debatingeurope.eu/focus/arguments-banning-guns/#.YooZ5y-B3T8) 

". . . 1. GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE…It’s a cliché, but it’s true: Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. [Guns do kill people. Baseball bats hit home runs. Automobiles cause deaths and injuries. Tractors plow fields. Try accomplishing the latter without the former in each instance.] Getting rid of a particular tool will not stop people committing acts of violence. [Correct. But the number of these acts can be greatly reduced. We do not live in a perfect world and absolutes are few (if any).] Instead, we need to address the root causes that drive people to perpetrate violence, including looking seriously at whether the mental health system is performing as it should. [Not 'instead' but 'in addition to' smart gun laws.]

2. GUNS = PROTECTION. . .Guns are a necessary tool in a violent world. They provide protection from muggings, home invasions, terrorist incidents, and mass shootings. [In some rare cases. In most, they increase the violence. Remember the 'wild west'?] Furthermore, an armed citizenry is (as a last resort) a guarantee against tyranny. Should it ever come to insurrection, then the people would have the means to rise in armed revolt against the authorities and overthrow them. [The danger of this logic is clearly illustrated by the events of January 6, 2021**] Even if it never comes to that, the threat of armed rebellion will help preserve government from tyranny. [The government has built-in items to prevent tyranny. We need to put legislators into the government who know what those are, respect them and promote them.]

3. BANNING GUNS WON’T PREVENT VIOLENCE. . .We do not ban tools just because they are dangerous. Tens of thousands of Europeans die in car accidents ever year, yet we don’t ban cars. Terrorists have used cars and trucks to commit atrocities, yet (again) we don’t ban cars and trucks. Indeed, terrorists in Europe have resorted to using knives and cars precisely because guns are so well-regulated across the European Union. So, banning guns does not stop violence. . . " [We must weigh danger versus usefulness with any tool. Shooting anything can objectively be called unnecessary since other means of sport, hunting etc. are available. Further, (again, there are no absolutes) we cannot PREVENT violence. We can greatly reduce it, but only if we choose. Saving the life of ONE child alone would make it worthwhile.]

**(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Capitol_attack) On January 6, 2021, a mob of 2,000–2,500 supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump attacked the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.[a][28][29] They sought to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election[30] by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes that would formalize President-elect Joe Biden's victory.[3][31] The Capitol Complex was locked down and lawmakers and staff were evacuated as rioters assaulted law enforcement officers, vandalized property, and occupied the building for several hours.[32] Five people died either shortly before, during, or following the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes.[19][33] Many people were injured, including 138 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.[34]

                 Critic’s Choice

Think . . .

. . . about it

https://www.gunviolencearchive.org

(from https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/more-guns-do-not-stop-more-crimes-evidence-shows/)

". . . “If I'm a bad guy, and I know this place has guns, it's not a place I'm obviously going to want to go and do something bad.” . . . Is there truth to this claim? An ideal experiment would be an interventional study in which scientists would track what happened for several years after guns were given to gun-free communities and everything else was kept the same. But alas, there are no gun-free U.S. communities, and the ethics of doing such a study are dubious. So instead scientists compare what happens to gun-toting people, in gun-dense regions, with what happens to people and places with few firearms. They also study whether crime victims are more or less likely to own guns than others, and they track what transpires when laws make it easier for people to carry guns or use them for self-defense. . . Most of this research—and there have been several dozen peer-reviewed studies—punctures the idea that guns stop violence. In a 2015 study using data from the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for example, researchers at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard University reported that firearm assaults were 6.8 times more common in the states with the most guns versus those with the least. Also in 2015 a combined analysis of 15 different studies found that people who had access to firearms at home were nearly twice as likely to be murdered as people who did not. . ."

            Another Shot

Ace . . .

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/ace-of-hearts 

When I see that look upon your face

I know that I’ve been dealt an ace of hearts.

Something starts.

Pulse is pounding like a conga drum.

The blood goes rushing to and from my head,

Turns my face to red.

So ante-up and hit me once then hit me twice.

The stakes are high. 

You know I’ve got to keep as cool as ice.

This game we’re in together

Could end as quickly as it starts.

But I’ll just take my chances.

I’ll just take my chances

Cause I know that I have you

And you’re my . . . 

Ace of hearts.

I know that I have you and you’re my 

Ace of hearts.

Deal me in I’m staying for the course

And if I lose don’t feel remorse for me.

You will always be

In my every breath and in my soul.

When chips are down you take control and then

Bring me back again.

Ace of Hearts
