Brits are going to the polls as we speak. Polls open for another five hours.

forbidden items such as nunchakus...

I have used those things for 40 years and have become quite proficient. They are excellent for cardio, dexterity, coordination (you hit yourself in the balls exactly once), strength and speed. The only time I ever used them for self defense, just the threat and a little exhibition of skill sent my would be assailants fleeing. The only person I ever hit with them was me.

Apparently the NRA and Republicans are now internationally active?

I'm both, but I haven't made it to Germany to spread my evil. Hell! I'm reluctant to cross the Delaware river going east.

The German authorities will probably be closed mouthed about the whole matter as they were over the New Year’s Eve violence-rapes.

"No motive" cases are the easy ones, just chalk the shooter up as being deranged, nuts, insane.
