For John, BLUF: Have we reached the Silly Season in gun control? Nothing to see here; just move along.
Down in Florida a State Legislator wants ammo buyers to have anger management training. The lede:
A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious solutions to the problem of gun violence.Yes, this is Fox News, and not The Onion.
Some will read this and immediately condemn State Senator Audrey Gibson, a Democraft from Jacksonville. I think we need to give this some consideration, and perhaps expansion. For example, I would go along with this if it was unbreakably tied to a requirement for anger management training in order to vote, at least in State and local elections.
Test everything and see how it would work in other circumstances.

Oh absolutely. we should REQUIRE anger management as part the prerequisite for any activity. It should be initially introduced in pre-school and increased in depth and scope for every educational/training experience going forward. It should precede automobile purchases and driver's licensing, medical care, marriage, divorce, getting a home loan, voting, buying groceries....
And if it fails to cure the problem, we should mandate pharmaceutically induced behavior modification.....its the law...take your pills....with enough Zanax and Valium....we ought to all get along blissfully.
In fact, since GUNS are the source of all current evil....we should make them "anger proof."
I'm not sure how to deal with the folks who inflict the greatest harm on the peaceful people.....you know..the ones who don't believe in the law...or rules.....especially the ones that make places a "gun free zone." One thing for certain....we mustn't get angry at them.
