Big Wayne La Pierre swaggered into town, hitched up his gun
belt, squared his jaw and declared, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a
gun is a good guy with a gun.” Those of
you who read my December 20th blog, will immediately recognize the John Wayne
Fantasy Syndrome: The delusion that if
you pack a gun you will someday save dozens of people by wasting a bad guy with
an assault rifle and you will become a national hero. LaPierre then proposed that armed guards be
stationed at every school in America . In other words, the NRA believes the way to
stop gun violence is with more guns. He
also maintained that mass killings in America are the media’s fault—movies
and video games--and gun availability has nothing to do with it. For a long
time you have heard the NRA mantra: Guns
don’t kill people, people kill people.
No, Wayne, people with guns
kill people. You and I and every sane
person in America
have got to tell our rotten politicians to stop groveling to the NRA and pass
meaningful gun control. Or would you
rather wait for the next Sandy Hook ?
