Why did Christopher Michael-Martinez die? Because the N.R.A. and the politicians they intimidate enable people to get their hands on weapons and ammunition whose only purpose is to kill other people as quickly and as lethally as possible.

Any gunner who tries to pretend that their gun is meant for anything other than killing is LYING. It is, in fact, one of the stupidest things I think I've ever heard. The ultimate oxymoron: Harmless Gun.

They live in a world of fear and now they have made this country into the unsafe place of their delusions.
