Exceptionally well done. I can't wait to add the hardcover version (signed?) to my library in Barbados, where only the very best Cuban cigars are smoked.
Benediciones a ti, muy señor mio.

I hope your book will be allowed to be published and sold without you being harrassed by the BATF.
In the summer of 1999 I had the misfortune to witness a "Clickit or Ticket checkpoint in action down in North Carolina. This was a random road block to harass people who had improperly installed child safety seats/ were caught driving without their seatbelts /or other "minor" infractions ($200.00 tickets). The checkpoint included an ambulance, a heliocopter, a prison bus paddy wagon and multiple police cars parked in both directions.
I drolly predicted at the time these people should be careful for what they wished lest they find themselves in a firefight with rogue drug dealers and Sally Soccermom caught in the crossfire unable to advance or retreat out of the line of traffic.
Your scenario beats my prediction hollow.
Good work... I think
Best regards
Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?
Alarmed about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos the government allows to run loose?
Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because on some antiquated right?
While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people or at least SOME of them (only the RIGHT ones, of course!) away from their guns.
At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.
Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns can ever be smuggled in.
No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.
All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.
The current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!
