Your Evening Sift

As you can imagine, folks are upset about yesterday's mass murder. That and more in your evening Sift.

A- As long as there is an NRA, there will be days like yesterday, says Bark Bark Woof Woof.

The NRA has become the Westboro Baptist Church of gun owners, and Wayne LaPierre is their Fred Phelps. The difference is that while Mr. Phelps and his followers exert no political power and do little more than clamor for attention, the NRA, through political extortion and the sowing of fear and paranoia (as well as a very good interpretation of Freudian psychology), has become the most powerful lobby in America. Far more than any labor union, church, or even political party, the NRA has managed take away even the possibility of raising the topic of discussion of any form of gun control.

B- Gun Free Zone's "common sense" is America's insanity. Check out the comments and learn that, for GunFreeZone, losing 8 students in a mass shooting is quite acceptable.

C- Thoughts about yesterday's mass murder from Sex and the Beach.

D- Find out what Blind Tastes suggests for the 2nd Day of Bourbon Christmas.

E- Obalesque has a suggestion for at least one gun advocate and Justice Building Blog [sporting a new look] has the cost we pay for living in an NRA World.
