"SNIP........................................

I have written about gun madness and the slaughter of the innocent for decades. The NRA playbook holds no mysteries: Demand delay. Sow confusion. Spread around money for the next election.

The NRA is too powerful, the politicians wail. We cannot defeat it.

The NRA is not that powerful. It can be defeated. It spent millions to defeat Barack Obama, and it failed.

But laws do nothing, the gun lobby says. The problem is moral decay!

That was a tragedy in search of a scandal. This is a tragedy that is a scandal. Goodbye, Benghazi.

Good to remember that.
