India rape calls for gun law rewrite

I wonder if there's any atrocity that isn't hijacked these days by the NRA crowd and exploited as a vomit-inducing example of how "See?! This would have never happened if _____ had a gun!"

Even better, if the atrocity is because of a gun, the solution of course is... a gun! Guns, guns and more guns!

Apparently Somalia is what they're going for.

And any gun/type/magazine size, too! Hey look at me! I'm a gun "expert" but I can't drop a man with a 10 rounds!

Question: if you're so awful that you can't drop somebody with 10 rounds, you want us to give you, say, 30 rounds so you can spray even more of your incompetence all over God knows where?

I think Newtown was a turning point for the NRA in that people have finally had enough; like the GOP to which it is wed, it is a movement completely controlled at this point by zealots whose fetishism with ideology completely obliterates any sense of reality.

Did you know that here gun sales go UP after each atrocity like this? And do you know why? Because people are led to believe that--doesn't this sound familiar?--the gov't is now going to use this latest incident as the pretext to... confiscate all their beloved guns.

Guess who pushes that idea hardest?

So I wonder if this is in reality a really, really macabre marketing effort.

Another thing most people don't know is that Obama in his first term offered to meet face-to-face with LaPierre--I think more than once--and LaPierre refused.

Why? Because Wayne needs to keep peddling his bogeyman to his followers.

How well would a ban work for anything that probably already exists in the millions anyway? Really, good luck with that.
