    The benign blitheness with which the story is told is what makes it so powerful. The very fact that it can be relayed so casually makes it scary.

    This is a chilling, evocative, and an IMPORTANT play. It is a must read for anyone who cares about gun control or who wants to be more informed in the debate over the second amendment. A political masterpiece!

    Absolutely chilling. I felt genuinely afraid as I read the play. This is so much more than a monologue, this an incredibly important piece of information. Robert does a magnificent job of pairing a laissez faire attitude with terrifying facts. How can be so complacent? After reading Robert's play, I have no idea. This must produced now when it is more important than ever because as Robert so keenly points out in this play, these "rights" are not right.
