The utter defensiveness of gun owners/right wingers in the wake of Sandy Hook is a case of doth protesting too much. Because when you start to really unravel the strings of this tragedy to see where they lead, you’ll end up in the right wing fever swamp of survivalists, Beck-ites and Limbots in the throes of states rights and second amendment conspiracy fever dreams. They want to deflect, deflect, deflect… because not only are they exposed on the issue of assault weapons, but they are against paying any new taxes that could provide improved mental health care for the citizenry, or more (trained) security at schools. Indeed, they are for slashing just those things, plus the pay and benefits of educators. What we’re hearing from conservatives this week is not the beginning of a constructive dialogue, but sound of still-fresh blood dripping from the hands of a significant portion of our nation.
