I Live in An Insane Nation

Trey Smith


After days of laying low, the National Rifle Association (NRA) hinted that they were ready to act like compassionate adults and talk about meaningful solutions to the endemic gun violence that plagues our nation. On Friday, they unveiled their "heartfelt" solution. It is the same solution they have offered for years: MORE guns.

Can you imagine the American Medical Association going on national TV to declare that the best way to fight infection and disease is to create more infection and disease?

Of course, you can't imagine that because it would be an utterly insane response.

But that is the "logic" of the NRA.

Actually, no one should be surprised that their new solution is the same as their old solution. More guns is in the economic self-interest of the organization itself and their buddies, the gun manufacturers.

Their specific recommendation is to post armed guards at every school in America. (Hey, it's a jobs program!) A good number of these new hires would need...guns and the gun industry will be more than happy to sell them to them. These new hires would also need some type of "professional association" to join and I'm sure the NRA would be happy to create something just for them. You know, something like the NRA's School Protectors. For only $50/year.......
