Know Thy Enemies

This is not a post about gun control (I remain convinced that it is futile to try to change the gun fetish in America despite the recent tragedies), but just a sad commentary about the degree of polarization in this country.

The NRA probably does not know about the U2 lyric "Choose your enemies carefully, 'cause they will define you." Otherwise they might have thought twice before publishing this revealing Enemies List recently.

I am quite shocked by your "gun fetish in America" comment.

I will also gladly proclaim that I am a believer of the second amendment.

Jack, why do you always insists on calling people who support the 2nd amendment as having a "gun fetish"?
The 2nd Amendment and our emotional obsession about guns are two different things.

See, for exsmple,
