We cats had to have Wayne LaPierre's "Christmas tree" comment explained to us today. We just couldn't imagine what in the world a tannenbaum had to do with innocent people getting mowed down by automatic rifle fire at a music concert.
But now we get it: LaPierre was saying that the gun haters of America are going to take advantage of the public outrage over a guy exercising his Second Amendment rights from a Las Vegas hotel tower to load up a bump-stock-banning Congressional bill like a — well, you know the rest.
Okay, Wayney Boy, you wanna talk Christmas? Let's talk Christmas.
We can think of close to 60 families who had somebody at that concert last weekend and who probably won't be having much of a joyous holiday season this year. Not to mention the 500 other families who will experience a rehab-and-recovery Yuletide, with not much more to celebrate than that a bullet missed a vital organ, artery or spine by a fraction of an inch.
As for Christopher Cox, that other NRA jackass, his "We don't believe bans ever worked on anything" statement is laugh-and-throw-up-at-the-same-time funny — considering how much the Republicans have tried to ban abortion and birth control lately. We cats HISS.
