It's no more helpful to claim that "America is insane" than it is to employ the full-stops-between-words affectation (we can all read English round here and we can get the point without having it crudely rammed down our throats). On the substantive point, the problem in the US, as elsewhere, is the undemocratically-usurped power of lobby groups, whether it's organised religion, anti-abortionists, big oil, pro-Israeli regime or the gun lobby, the latter being especially egregious in the US. There are many millions of US citizens who bitterly oppose the overly-liberal gun laws and I'm sure that they would resent the blanket accusation of insanity. Instead, we need to recognise that they need a stronger voice of protest. Joe Biden says the right things, but, like all previous presidents, he has to pull his punches so as to avoid becoming toast. Is the opposition to the NRA organised, tactically savvy and brave enough?
