Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes penned a lengthy Instagram rant yesterday reiterating his anti-gun control stance and calling March for Our Lives protestors “vile abusers of the dead.” Posting on his “fatherbadass” Instagram page, Hughes accused Parkland shooting survivors of “playing hooky at the expense of 16 of your classmates blood.”

It appears to me that Mr. Hughes is more interested in being "colorful" than actually winning this argument. I rather wish he and others would get serious -- millions of lives, and the freedoms of hundreds of millions, are likely at risk...

Here's a quote for ya

Well, I agree with the 2nd part of that, but the first tends to be counterproductive.

I prefer approaches (and arguments) that work.
