The NRA needs a new spokesperson. The only person worse would be #^&#^&#^&#^& Cheney.

I donated once to the NRA and then they bombarded my house asking for money. I promptly told them to stuff it and have never donated since. I would give money to GOAL first.

not sure if it has been mentioned, but i would bet a coffee that the fiscal cliff talks fell apart because the GOP is bringing this issue into the debate as a bartering tool. Before the shooting, everything seemed ok and then suddenly without any explanation things fell apart.

Or exactly the opposite. Why couldn't the Dems be saying, "Listen, we want XYZ immediate restrictions of firearms and on the flip side, we'll agree to tax cut extensions."

Then, the Dems get to come out like heroes because "See, guns are a major issue and look how quickly we are willing to fix them *and* avoid the fiscal cliff". While on the other hand, the Republicans avoid pissing off one voting base while enraging another.

Either way, whatever comes from any of this will be forgotten by most voters when the next set of elections come in two years.
