Why couldn't the NRA at least have waited until tomorrow to start the post-massacre spin?

[Ken Burch]

Could they not have put human decency first for ONE day?

[villager]

1. Because they are sociopaths. An organization *for* sociopaths, and run by them.

n/t

[2naSalit]

3. And they have no human decency.

30 seconds of watching LaPierre spewing is proof enough.

[ellisonz]

2. That would require brains.

[Kablooie]

4. If they had human decency they wouldn't be supporting public war weapons in the first place.

5. my guess is that they are too busy planning their trip to the area for a somewhat

impromptu pro gun rally

isn't that what they usually do?

8. The NRA *is* like the Phelps crew - making their own brutal, selfish single mindedness

everyone's problem. Their fear and paranoia is inflicted upon the rest of the country. The life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of our children should never interfere with the tri-corner hat's crew to fetishize their guns and automatic weapons and hate.

6. The same could be asked of those supporting gun control

[DainBramaged]

7. They don't endorse weapons of death

keep clinging to those guns...

[Ken Burch]

9. Uh, no-it can't.

Firstly, it was almost exclusively the gun fetishists that were hogging the airwaves yesterday, caring more about "winning the news cycle" than they ever would have about the lives of those children.

Secondly, it's not insensitive to argue, after a massacre, that there should be fewer guns around for people to massacre children WITH. It's the height of insensitivity(and indeed, of total moral numbness)to put defending gun rights before any and all other thoughts at a time like this.

They should have just been human about it and left this alone until Monday.

10. It's never too soon to shut down the conversation they don't want this country to have.
