Than anywhere else I've ever seen. Even the NRA has opted to remain silent out of what they refer to as decency. The Gun proponents on this board show no such reservations. Right now, they are more reactionary than the NRA itself. And I certainly have never encountered this degree of callous selfishness elsewhere.

I was actually thinking of the editorial boards of conservative newspapers and a number of gun owners who have publicly spoken out for gun reform. Like any human being with a conscience, they are shocked by recent events and realize that something must change.
