Wayne LaPierre, head of the NRA, conducted a press conference today. He did not back down on the issue of gun control. He ripped into the media, politicians, the culture and the failure to protect our children. LaPierre called for a police officer in every school, and pledged NRA resources and members for training and implementation. The line of the press conference was ""The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." The press conference was interrupted twice by Code Pink Needless to say, Twitter went crazy. Here are some of the more restrained tweets:

Just flashed across the screens was that the final vote on the tax portion of so-called Plan B had been cancelled tonight because John Boehner did not have enough votes. What a mess. You don't go there unless you are certain you can get there. Plan C, The...

In the days after I reported here on the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, the gun control debate has raged. The first gun control argument was leveled, quite literally, before the deceased children and adults were even removed from the school. Indeed, in laying the groundwork...
