I believe The Onion has to strive mightily to depict the gun militancy movement as a bigger caricature than it has actually become. Face it, when you have a political movement with spokesmen like Wayne LaPierre, Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin, the dark humor is already in place. Too bad so many lives hang in the balance.
