‘[T]hese kinds of shootings don’t take place in other places. If it weren’t for the easy availability of guns, and gun culture, this thing wouldn’t happen. Young adults get into fights more often in the UK than they do in the US, but they’re not lethal. So you’ve got a mix that’s ready to be ignited, kids at the age where they’re likely to do risky, reckless things, you’ve got big groups of them, and you’ve got them drunk. All you have to do is throw some guns into the mix and you’re going to get the shootings. That’s probably the biggest thing that’s changed.’

A Temple professor neatly sums up Spring Break USA, which leaves the rest of us to wonder why it keeps happening year after year, since cities have known for quite a few years that with absolute certainty several people will be shot, several police will be assaulted, scads of guns will be confiscated, riots or near-riots will break out, etc., etc. Every year is significantly worse than the last, and with every year normal tourists who find the terrifying, nationally broadcast, sleazefest offputting decide to stop coming altogether to Spring Break cities. A real win/win, ja?

UD’s thing is that drunk armed breakers and their drunk buddies should be directed via social media, incentives, etc., to America’s most insanely gun-friendly locales for their fun. These cities are begging for it. The local gunnies will welcome the incoming gunnies with open arms, and open-air festivals of the gun, with shooting into the air and elsewhere, will be scheduled nightly. No curfews or closed bars, and plenty of supercheap hotel rooms. If there are fights under these fight-friendly circumstances, that’s presumably the very outcome insane-gun-city has been dreaming of. BIG BIG GUN FIGHT!

Let it all come down, babe. You’ve been waiting for it, storing up ammo and armaments and protective gear and a week’s worth of grub.

Galveston!

Galveston.
