John Young: The NRAs prostitution ring
The Denver Post's top headline after one of the gun lobby's very best customers killed 59 people from above read thusly: "NRA supports restriction."
Yes, the top story was what the NRA might do after all that killing.
It wasn't, "Congress admits cowardice in the face of carnage." It wasn't, "President lifts thumb to avert next slaughter."
It wasn't even, "Thoughts and prayers waft over Las Vegas."
It was, "What does the NRA think about this?"
Understand: The NRA's deigning to consider any restrictions at all on a hyper-killing device called a bump stock is headline news. It's: "China calls for safer toys." It's "Medellin Cartel urges: 'Just say no.'"
