SEATTLE -- As the Beatles song suggests: Happiness is a Warm Gun.

At least that's the notion I get from all the folks who took exception to my giving the "Schrammie" to State Senator/Mason County Commissioner Tim Sheldon for offering up hot lead enemas to criminals and encouraging vigilantism.

Rich Pompo writes: "You just don't get it Schrambo...There's nothing wrong with a few bullet ridden bodies of bad guys caught in the act...It sends a message to all the bad guys out there."

Frank Connelly: "I suppose you'd want to sit down and reason with someone who broke into your house and was going after your family."

James E. Joplin Jr.: "When I had intruders 9-1-1 told me it would be 45 minutes or more before a deputy could come to protect us..."

Scott Baker: "As long as the dead body is inside the house or business, I fail to see the problem here Ken."

Angie McMalten: "Tim Sheldon said what people needed to hear. Cops can't be everywhere."

And finally, from Tom Martin: "You liberal idiot...I hope that when some nutcase gets tired of your drivel that you'll wait...for a cop to come and save your sorry (butt)."

Gee Tom, does that mean I can't count on you?

Thanks for writing everyone.

Have a great weekend.
