Thought of the Day
But in the aftermath of the Newtown massacre, with the NRA angrily opposing any measure designed to hinder criminals from acquiring firearms, the public is learning who is really soft on crime.
Joe Conason
The truth is that the NRA, and other supporters of the Constitution, calmly and effectively opposed measures designed to hinder only the law abiding from acquiring firearms.
Mr. Conason's wish here that the nation will think the right soft on crime for this recent triumph of civil liberty is less likely to come true than poor dumb racist David Sirota's recent wish that the Marathon bombers be white American males.
Beneath nearly every liberal's skin is a totalitarian dying to get out.
