When a special interest is too powerful, too irresponsible. December 25, 2011 8:23 pm bowser

Seven bodies with gunshot wounds found in Texas flat

Having ensured for decades that every drunk and/or drug-crazed idiot has access to a cheap and powerful gun, the NRA can be credited with another success.  This home invasion by 7 people was countered by a wise homeowner who was able to defend his castle against unimagineable violence.

There seems to be a mass shooting about every other day, another demonstration as to how safe we are from armed maroons thanks to the NRA and their ilk.  The fact that badguys have much easier, cheaper access to guns due to the NRA hasn’t seemed to cross their mind.  I don’t see where armed, innocent citizens are making a difference.  Maybe because to justify their stand the NRA has to pull things out of their ears, such as “we don’t know how much was prevented”.

Right.  Lots, huh?
