LaPierre caught with his facts down
WASHINGTON -- Wayne LaPierre, the National Rifle Association's chief executive, arrived for his hearing on Capitol Hill in the organization's trademark fashion: violently. When he and his colleagues stepped off the elevator in the Dirksen Senate...

Stephen Goldstein: Think NRA was winner? Not so fast
The NRA has won the battle but lost the war. The best thing that happened to gun control is its defeat in Congress. Today's losers (Obama, Democrats, the 90 percent of Americans who support sane legislation) will be tomorrow's winners. Today's winners...Tags: U.S. Senate, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Lobbying, Rand Paul, U.S. House of Representatives

Obama minces words in addressing the Boston bombing

There's no safety in our vast numbers of guns
In 2009, when I was trying to figure out why gun sales were so brisk, I visited a couple of gun shops in Riverside and Corona.

McManus: Newtown, politics and gun control

NRA vs. common sense
When the National Rifle Association promised "meaningful contributions" to prevent another massacre like the recent horror in Newtown, Conn., I didn't expect much, but I hoped for more than what we got. After an allegedly mentally ill gunman killed 20...Tags: Firearms, Jared Lee Loughner, National Rifle Association of America, The New York Times, NBC (tv network)

Goldberg: Blame it on Brokaw
You know who I blame for the terrible tone in American politics? Tom Brokaw. No, not the man himself, but what he represents. Since Dan Rather famously beclowned himself, Brokaw stands as the last of the respected "voice of God" news anchors (CBS News...Tags: USA Today, Walter Cronkite, Parties and Movements, Tea Party Movement, The New York Times

El tema que no nos atrevemos a discutir
Como parte del proceso de duelo posterior a una tragedia, los estadounidenses siempre quieren hablar — y hablar, y hablar. Es una lástima que tendamos a distraernos y hablar de las cosas equivocadas. Sucedió nuevamente después del tiroteo en...Tags: James Holmes, The Washington Post, Columbine High School, Jared Lee Loughner, Dylan Klebold

Gun lobby fires up Obama fear
