It would be nice if that no-talent windbag with exactly one significant acting credit would just die already.

So Mr. Sulu when the guns are banned and the terrorists start using knives, bombs, cars, bats, etc....

They'll still use guns, as they did in France. The only ones disarmed will be us, if the lefties have their way.
