"It's the NRA, stupid"

"We live in a political world"

But really, the truth should come before a thought of what team one may be on. In all of these American shootings, discussion, of course, needs to come to bear, IF, as a society we want to even attempt to address these tragedies with the intent of lessening their occurrences.
The elephant in the room most always seems to be the NRA, and they are up to their eyelids in politics.
It's true. We have to deal with it.

1. Agree. I would add it's not just NRA, there are millions of gun fanciers too cheap to pay dues, yet

yet, they still support the white wing political side of the NRA and NRA leadership like Teddy Nugent --

2. Yes, it is all about GUNS, in the hands of whoever

The NRA is right about one thing in this case. "Guns are the great Equalizer". What would an overweight, elderly man have done with a knife, or baseball bat, at a baseball practice? NOTHING.
