About guns not killing people, how more guns create a more civil society, and on and on.

But reality begs to differ. And this time the result was a sad and tragic act that could have been completely avoided.

It is children who get sacrificed on the altar of second amendment purity. No one in the NRA cares about the collateral damage to the innocents as long as money from paranoid and cowardly people continues to fill its coffers.
