Rachel Maddow just read a statement from the NRA, who proclaim they’ll have suggestions on Friday at their news conference about how to avoid future incidents like what we’ve just witnessed.

Yeah, yeah…so I’m an eternal optimist.

Silly me
I cannot believe the some of the people I know who are wanting teachers to start carrying guns. Has the world gone completely mad?
Has the world gone completely mad?
The whole world? No. The right wing of American politics? Completely.

The people running the NRA have gone mad, but I think you (and everyone else) should take a look at this post at Daily Kos and this post at Israel Today.
Note: Check the Daily Kos first, and make sure you check both posts.
