Someone with less than 125 posts whom most of us don't even recognize, comes in, hysterically advocates a policy that would be difficult to define and, besides, can typically be addressed by the existing jury system, and yet (at the time of my posting) nearly 375 sign on in support.
Chilling.
Rather than doing something primitive, repressive, and negative, how about doing something positive instead? Like contributing $5 to the Brady Campaign (or another organization working to prevent gun violence) every time someone posts something that is perceived to be in support of the NRA (whatever the hell that means). I doubt that we would wind up contributing more than $100 a year, but if we did, it would actually make a difference instead of fomenting relatively pointless rabble rousing.
Here's a link to the Brady Campaign. And one to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.
