So, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” according to the National Rifle Association’s vice president. The sound bite is a typical response for those who want simple “sound good” answers to all problems. The problem is separating the bad guys from the good guys.

It would have been poetic justice if fate decided to place a gun into the hands of the two protesters from Code Pink, who sneaked inside and conducted their protest just a few feet from the NRA president.

Perhaps then we would have serious restrictions on open-field buying of deadly weapons designed to kill people.
