Greg F: "Laughing at the NRA or their Republican enablers and stooges won't accomplish shit." You know, Greg, I think the NRA are quite vulnerable to popular ridicule: 1. The absurdity of some of their positions to ordinary people once they are brought to their attention. 2. The enormous gap between the members' hyper-macho posturing and their actual fear-driven paranoia. 3. The similar gap between their professions of patriotism and their role as corporate lickspittles in corrupting our congress--another clown car. What are they going to do if they become a universal figure of fun, kill everybody? I don't think anyone believes they can be defeated by slapping them around with a joke book, but historically, savage ridicule has not been not a weapon to be despised.
