I’m going to take this moment to share what I just read on A. Sullivan’s blog:

Andrew, my NRA card is in the trash this morning. I’m with Joe Scarborough—all my previous beliefs have been upended. Allowing such easy access to these military-style weapons is madness—how could I have not seen it before? And no one needs hollow point bullets and high-capacity magazines. I am a committed Republican. But if they can’t do the sane thing here, they’ve lost me. And I know you don’t know me, but if they’ve lost me, they are truly doomed. I couldn’t give a damn right now about my taxes going up. (I have two six year old kids).

Maybe, just maybe the tide has turned. I’m so full of anguish that it took the deaths of little kids. But it is what it is.
