“When the NRA sells T-shirts depicting a rifle-wielding eagle above the slogan ‘Because you can’t fist fight tyranny,’ the implication is that you can fight tyranny (however you perceive it) with guns. It should be no surprise that someone would shoot democratically elected representatives when we’ve been told for decades that that’s the patriotic redress to political grievances.” – Matt Valentine, University of Texas Lecturer in How the NRA conquered Washington and abandoned gun owners like me [via washingtonpost.com]
