As a gentle stream flows nearby your home, nearly all your neighbors, and other townsfolk, can enjoy its sensible capacity. The smaller children are kept away from it except with supervision, but everyone else can sit by, or wade in without much worry. Much like before the heavy weapon crazy days of the last quarter century, when the nation of the   2nd Amendment   was considerably more restrained in its massive killing results. Yet, when the clouds release their munitions today, it is an overflowing torrent, where almost no one is safe… .
