All I have to do is look at that balcony photograph to know that.

It’s what we used to kill time before Angry Birds/Fruit Ninja/Candy Crush/Internet Porn in our pockets.

Ok raise your hand if you read the whole article.

What’s a magazine?

A gun nut relative of mine tried to tell me the other night that the Sandy Hook shooting was orchestrated by the Obama administration to get everyone's guns. I asked his wife how often she must run out of tin foil because of the hats he must be making. He was not amused.

Nothing will change the NRA’s stance.

Fun fact: The NRA lobbies against domestic violence legislation because it makes it harder for domestic abusers to buy guns. They also lobby against laws to make it more difficult for puppy mills to torture dogs because not torturing dogs would make it more expensive to breed hunting dogs.

Thers’s no probably. The NRA loves mass shootings, and it does everything in its power to ensure they happen more frequently.

Wayne Lapierre is a terrorist.

“They’re coming,” he added. “And they’re going to try to kill us, and we need to be prepared.”

That’s a not moral quandry. The moral position is obvious.

I’ve begun a different tactic, I now point and laugh when I see an open carrier, and then tell my daughter loudly, “look sweetie, that man has a small wiener”. It’s fun for everyone except for the jackass who felt the need to bring a gun into Baskin Robbins.

Christ, I’m convinced there could be a mass shooting at NRA headquarters and these assholes would still be all “hurr durr Obama’s comin’ fer are guns with this false flag!”

The only thing that I would think might change the laws would be a shooter going after Congress. Republicans, specifically. I mean, children, church people, newscasters on live tv. NOPE. But maybe sheer self-interest might motivate a sea change.

Honestly, I don’t think that would change the NRA’s stance at all, either. It might, maybe, finally, embolden some politicians who’ve kowtowed to them for years to say, “Okay, the public outrage on this issue is high enough that the political backlash for me if I don’t support at least some common-sense gun control…

I’m actually surprised they didn’t try to market a line of handguns for kindergarteners after Sandy hook.

The Roanoke reporter and camera operator getting gunned down on live tv didn’t change their minds, either. I don’t even think a massive televised attack would do it.

Exactly. Color me 100 shades of unsurprised.

I mean, Sandy Hook didn’t get the NRA to change its tune, and its membership likes kindergarteners way more than gay club-goers at Latin Night.
