In the '40's and '50's moderate civil rights organizations like the NAACP made slow or no progress toward acheaving their goals. Then in the '60's, organizations like the Black Panthers and SNNC (not equating the two, but they were much more aggressive and in your face) made Martin Luther King look much more reasonable to the powers that be. The TRT can perform this service for the NRA.

Mauser has chosen to bandage his wounds with the shreded bits of my liberty. He is no more justified than would be a crime victim calling for stripping anyone who looked like or shared a religion with his mugger, of rights. His loss does not give him leave to try to oppress me. Nor to try to hang the death of his son around the collective neck of gun owners.

You are, of course, right on all points.

However, sometimes being right is not enough. There is nothing more traumatic for a parent than losing a child, regardless of the circumstances. Mauser has the sympathy of the press and probably a good bit of the public in Jefferson County. It's unfortuneate that he has chosen to turn to the gun-grabbers for comfort.

If he was appearing at some public rally, I would be one of the first in line to protest (if I was in Denver). IMHO, taking the fight to his home is a tactical error, akin to kicking a cripple.

I'm assuming of course that he's not having press conferences from his front porch. That would put a different light on it.
