Yeah, they look sad, but not too overwhelmed by grief to neglect the "Donate" link in their email.
And their ostensible purpose for this official reaction to the NIU Gun-Free Zone massacre?
Now, we need to close the gun show loophole.Because, y'see, the shooter (who illegally killed people) bought his firearms through all the Brady-recommended channels, through a store, with a record and background check and an FOID card, in a state where concealed carry is illegal, on a campus that prohibits guns...
What, you think the "gun show loophole" seems like a non sequitur?
That's nothin'. Later in the day I got another email, this one ecstatically proclaiming:
Well, hey, we're havin' a good time now!
And what are they rolling in?
That "loophole" again, microstamping with Teddy Kennedy, and "this is not to be believed. The gun lobby and its allies in the Senate are pressing to pass a guns in parks bill that would loosen gun restrictions in national parks and refuges and allow in unloaded, hidden handguns."
Oh, and "Please make a gift today."
Vultures.
What were those crocodile tears about again?
