Interesting essay. I did not see the press conference, but the "news coverage" of it that I did see left out most of the cogent points. I could barely recognize the speeches given by the NRA in the "news coverage".

The news coverage has been disgraceful. It has portrayed LaPierre as a madman.

I dunno. I think shifting the conversation to the subject of how to protect children in schools with guns was good, but talking about having a cop in every school, not so much.

Name calling is all the media whores have in retort. LaPierre was verbally skeet shooting at that press conference. The media cowards run just like mass shooters do when confronted.

The reasoning of the gun controllers is the same as that of the Prohibitionists from a century ago. In both cases a particular inanimate object (liquor then, gun now) is blamed for human failings, instead of blaming the people who committed / are committing the wrongful acts. Also in both cases, in was the Left (Progressives then, Liberals now) who moved from advocating regulation to prohibition to Constitutionally mandated prohibition (there are gun controllers who have called for the repeal of the Second Amendment).
The Eighteenth Amendment is the warning sign of how far people like Michael Bloomberg will go if we are not careful. Don't say it can't happen.

Go to KCRA.COM for a strange home invasion. The shooter is still dead.

What is wrong with the NY Post? They call LaPierre a gun nut on their front page today and have been consistently on the wrong sides of this issue. Are they convinced they will lose circulation if they defend the Constitution? I am seriously considering not buying the paper anymore, but maybe they are looking at what they think is their bottom line. Disgrazia!
