News you can use all day
Friend of Dead Interns, Morning Joe says the NRA is over the line with the ad that targets the Obama children.
Bonus Track Petunia and Pals suggests assault weapons are not very lethal:
- Guests - The Kenyan Usurper will have some of the surviving families from the Newtown massacre standing with him as he makes some gun safety proposals today. (TPM)
- Armed to the teeth - The Republican Party of Utah is proposing to make Utah exempt from Federal Gun Laws, thus making it the Beehive and Handgun State. (The Salt Lake Tribune)
- Empty Gestures - Wingnuts in Congress cannot find anyone willing to co-sponsor the repeal of Obamacare. One-L stands alone fidgeting with her tinfoil bonnet; also/too Senator Ted Cruz.

But that's using a tragedy for political gain! Note: proposing legislation and making executive orders to deal with a problem using popular anger and concern about a recent tragedy that actually was a result of the problem that said legislation and executive orders actually attempt to address is "using a tragedy for political gain". Using fear and anger about a recent tragedy to push our country into a war having nothing to do with that tragedy (and to demonize all opponants of said war) is NOT using a tragedy for political gain ( / snark )
Also, anyone who complains about political ambition resulting in doing things that need to be done anyway and dismisses it all as "seeking political gain" probably is unfamiliar with a little document called The Federalist Papers. Interestingly, such people are strangely likely, in spite of their lack of familiarity with said little document, to go on and on about "original intent"
