I can't be arsed to read all this again.

There's a long piece on it all in today's Guardian.

It does rehearse the amazement of the rest of the world at the US fascination with deadly toys.

It also points out the unspoken corollary to the NRA mantra.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

But guns make it easier and a moment's anger terminal.

The US gun lobby needs to grow up and put away the symbols of playing Cowboys and Indians.


It also points out that the NRA is white, ageing, and heading for being a minority demographic any time real soon now. Dr Strangelove anyone?
