I've started seeing news reports that are asking questions about gun free zones. Of course those are usually placed after reports & soundbites from those advocating a new AWB or total gun ban. But at least the discussion seems to be starting.

Anybody ever try shouting into a hurricane? Even with a bullhorn, your voice gets drowned out by the volume of wind & rain. If you want to be heard, wait until the storm dies down. That's essentially what the NRA is doing right now. Plus, like Charles said, it adds a ton of class to not be jumping into heated debate while 20 families are trying to plan funerals for 6 year olds. Thankfully, all the knee-jerk reaction is only just that, reaction. Because Washington DC is so inefficient (and even ineffectual some would say), nothing will be done immediately. There's a time to respond. Then there'll be a time to act.

Standard PR duck-and-cover. Since it's been noteworthy that the NRA Facebook page & Twitter account have been temporarily shut down, this is their way of saying no comment until the sting of Friday wears off a little. Personally, I favor the NRA's approach. I was utterly sickened by the parade of buffoons calling for immediate gun bans only a few hours into the whole ordeal. By remaining silent, the NRA is taking a high-road in allowing the friends and families of the victims to begin their grieving as opposed to the leftists who seemingly couldn't wait to use the bodies of dead children as a platform for their agenda.
