And yet the NRA outspends you by approximately infinity to nothing, to get the gun laws it wants, and none of the laws it doesn't want. You say you're in favor of background checks and ending the "gun show loophole"? So? The NRA is against them, and that's the position that will get millions of dollars in advertising and bribes to compliant legislators.

The NRA does represent you, Rob, and all the "good" gun owners. By default.

Until the "good" gun owners organize and put the NRA down once and for all, I'm justified in lumping you, collectively, in with the gun nuts. You're guilty of letting the NRA speak for you, and leaving the rest of society to clean up the mess it's created in your name.

"We" didn't squander the "opportunity" of Sandy Hook. America is unlikely to find a solution to the problem because 71 million "good" gun owners stand aside while the NRA lies and bribes and intimidates politicians to prevent a solution in their name.

You know what's another word for "silent majority"?

"Chickenshit".
