Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.

With a catastrophic tragedy in the news, the Ricochet mood is a bit more serious; but that doesn't mean bad policy or sentimental grandstanding are appropriate courses of action. That's why this week, we've invited a Second Amendment expert and parent on to the show. The one and only Charles C.W. Cooke.
He fields questions on the horror in Uvalde, the reaction from politicians and the press; the DPS, and a few potential resolutions to hopefully prevent so many of these terrible acts of violence. Peter and James also talk about the collapse of civic and moral norms that get far too little attention when these senseless crimes are discussed.
And as promised, for those interested in Charles's piece on the constitutional history of the Second Amendment, here's the link:

@PeterRobinson’s opening comments re: what to do? Sadly, sounds about right.

I agree with Charles Cook about making the age 21 for rifles and voting. Keep the 2nd and repeal the 26th ;)

Works for me re the 26th amendment. Then let the states decide age of majority for voting, drinking, gun purchases, etc.
