I hope we are all feeling better with our two minutes of mob hate directed at the NRA.

This could be a case where the left over-reaches as they often do. You could end up with a "Wellstone Funeral" scenario where you turn off people and push support to the NRA.

I'm thinking that with high school students getting politically active, the opposite is more likely. It turns out that voters really don't like it when you criticize high school students for their activism, particularly when some of those same high school students have just survived a massacre and have seen some of their friends killed before their eyes. --Bob
