NRA Won't Meet With Anti-Gun Zealots

Good.  From Daily Caller:

NRA says 'No way' to a meeting with anti-gun crusaders -- "More than two months after the Tucson shootings, the Obama administration is calling together both the gun lobby and gun safety groups to find common ground," reports the New York Times. The National Rifle Association's response was short and simple: No. “Why should I or the N.R.A. go sit down with a group of people that have spent a lifetime trying to destroy the Second Amendment in the United States?” asked NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre. According to the NYT, LaPierre sounds a lot like Obama at times. For instance, in his op-ed in The Arizona Daily Star, Obama suggested that law enforcement and legislators "focus on the people, not the guns.” This is basically the imperative form of "Guns don't kill people, Jared Loughner kills people." Obama knew the NRA would say no to a sit-down: “Some will say nothing short of the most sweeping antigun legislation is a capitulation to the gun lobby,” he wrote in his op-ed. “Others will predictably cast any discussion as the opening salvo in a wild-eyed scheme to take away everybody’s guns.” Replace "gun lobby" with "Bill of Rights," and "opening salvo" with "umpteenth volley," and you've nailed it, Mr. President.

The Tucson shooting was never about guns, it was about a crazy person who was obsessed with a congresswoman. Multiple existing gun control laws were broken, so why would we think additional laws would have stopped the carnage?
