"What strikes me is we've actually gotten a glimpse into the mindset, though, of the pro-gun people like Wayne LaPierre and some of these others. It's bizarre. They have this vision that we're living in a 'Mad Max' movie and that nothing can be done about it. There are plenty of gun owners who are fine, but the lobbying groups—the NRA—is now revealed as an insane organization." ~ Economist Paul Krugman
Insane but all powerful, alas.
