No surprises

The Washington Post has a transcript of today’s NRA press conference, and I hope you’re not too surprised to learn that their idea of “meaningful contributions” boils down to two simple words: More guns.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Wayne LaPierre, the conspiracy-minded leader of the NRA, went on to propose that we build a “database of the mentally ill,” which is a very sick irony coming from a man who absolutely rejects any such database for gun owners.
