I took a day or two to absorb the NRA's response to this, and the short form answer is I can't believe how oblivious and idiotic these people are.

I find it sad that instead of doing the right thing and entering into a discussion around how harmful guns can be in the hands of unstable people, and how there's really not a real need for overpowering fire power in the hands of citizens, their response is a scathing criticism of gun control and a call to put armed people in schools to protect kids.

I just don't understand how that's even a logical reply, instead of looking at how to make society safe, especially for the innocent and the unarmed, they basically advocate having armed people in place as a reply.

I never thought that the NRA was run by ######s, and I'm sorry about the term so I'll take it back and use the term morons.

The answer to guns can't be more guns, it can't be an arms race among the civilian population, that makes no sense.

I would expect that there will be a full court press lobbying effort now and any changes to gun control will be effectively blocked or delayed or watered down.

This tragedy was a real opportunity to have a constructive dialog around the need for military and highly destructive forms of fire arms in the hands of citizens who might not be responsible or balanced enough to own them. Instead the NRA quashed that.

Shame on you NRA.
