There will be plenty of “rapid responses” to the gun rampage on the Virginia Tech campus, which has claimed the lives of as many as 33 people — making it the deadliest school shooting incident in the history of the United States.
Do not doubt that the National Rifle Association is preparing its “this had nothing to do with guns” press release. The group has no compunctions about living up to its reputation for being beyond shame — or education — when it comes to peddling its spin on days when it would be better to simply remain silent.
