While the gun lobby tries to shroud themselves in the American flag and a cloak of "values" based on the second half of a Constitutional amendment that was written nearly three centuries ago, it is refreshing to know that there is a sizable majority (90% of the public at large, 88% of gun-owners) who are calling "bull____" on the extreme position of the NRA and its most fanatical acolytes that worship the perverted notion that only when all the criminally insane own firearms, will we be "safe".
This article was published in the Religion and Values section by the Center for American Progress and outlines the backlash that it building against the ignorant, self-serving, and just plain non-thinking Senators that voted against the fairly mild, loophole-closing background check bill recently.
Also read the full article in the New York Times by former Representative Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) who addressed the utter lack of humanity and cowardice of these Senators in her own "pull no punches" way.
