I think I’ll flag this Huffington Post article up, which in turn links to a Channel Four News interview with Neil McCabe, a pro-gun lobbyist trying to defend america’s love of guns. I actually saw the interview on tv last night, and it was cringeworthy telly of the best kind: Snow absolutely destroyed the moron, throwing the statistics at him. asking him whether he was proud or ashamed that so many people die due to gun violence in america. To watch McCabe trying to defend his position was an insult to one’s intelligence; he was saying things like ”it’s just part of life”, and spouting the usual defences such children spout when adults try to take away dangerous toys. Frankly, I don’t understand why these people can’t see the sense of trying to prevent gun deaths. Is it some kind of cultural thing? Or are they stupid enough to think their right to bear arms outranks the right of innocent people to live without fear of being suddenly shot by some nutter? How can they blind themselves to logic?
