The Insane NRA

The NRA continues to blast away at any chance they have of being considered even remotely sane...but then that is what people with high-capacity mags do right?   After this little soiree at the National Press Club, it is apparent that they think that the second half of the Second amendment to the Constitution trumps the First and Fourth amendments completely.....

Unfortunately, the general public (who can barely stand to wait for the next brainless Tweet to appear) are demonstrating the typical waning interest that allows our elected political idiots to ignore anything that might cost them money.  From a high of 60%-65% in favor of harsher gun laws, it is down now to a more 50/50 split according to latest polls.  Still....that is a longer attention span than Americans usually demonstrate on anything.....too bad about the next mall, theater, concert, football or baseball game that falls prey to someone taking advantage of that second half of the Second amendment....
