- Dave Dubya looks at the pattern of public statements and sees an NRA filled with fear and loathing directed at shooting victims.
- Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit offers a cogent argument against a gun ban. It involves her ability to defend her home from a prospective angry ex or other intruder.

- Is it always wrong to enjoy brutality? driftglass takes the rhetorical bat Assange protaganist Glenn Greenwald is using on an unsuspecting victim (well – neurosurgeon and author Sam Harris), turns it around, and pummels Mr. Greenwald to a bloody pulp.
