That's the worst; when you're dreaming, then you're awake, but you're not, until you are; but you don't know. Even when it's just a dream and not a bad dream, that's the worst.

The State of Missouri had a big win last week. Final score 104 – 39. No, I am not referring to the football game. I am referring to the vote in the state legislature rejecting a ban on children carrying guns in public. 104 – 39. So screamingly sad.

Am I awake? Is this real? Or just a bad dream?

Add this embarrassment to other ill-advised legislation such as SAPA, and throw in a bunch of easily-found, damning statistics, and Missouri's stance on gun rights vs. Human Rights is clear. All I can say is Go Team! This year we took 4th place in the Gun Deaths Derby, but with this home win and our coaches and our team leaders and the depth on our bench, I believe we can do better. Like our beloved Tomahawk-Chopping Chiefs, next year we have a real shot at the Championship.

So screamingly sad.
