When I pointed out that the NRA solution to gun violence is always more guns, a couple of people responded with a new (to me at least) response.

I don't suppose you've given any thought to this fact:

We as a society, have decided that whenever there is active gun violence, that the default and standard response, is to send people with guns to deal with it.

Its pretty hard to lay that at the feet of the nra.
