The NRA is not as powerful as is widely perceived.
The pro-gun arguments based on the 2nd Amendment have their only sound basis in a flawed reading of the Constitution by Supreme Court in the Heller v. D.C. case. This ruling will almost inevitably be overturned eventually.
Hollywood has long collaborated with the firearms industry in creating an image of false glamour around the possession and use of guns.

Feedback to podcast 67 from Fab from Linux Outlaws: “What? You criticise my eating habits and don’t even give me a chance to reply? What the heck is wrong with eating horses? I’ve eaten horses, cows, ducks, pigs, chickens, snakes, iguanas, kangaroos, frogs, oysters, fish, fowls, mussels….. I’d probably eat rats, dogs and lichen too (look it up in the SAS Survival Handbook) if the situation required it. It’s all the same, really. If you find any of that appalling, it’s only in your head. Your body doesn’t give a damn.“
I have comments turned off (but pingbacks on) for individual posts but not for the about page where this comment was left. So, fair enough, but I do appreciate hearing the feedback.
I actually have what amounts to an arbitrarily selective opinion on this, but it remains the same. However I did admit in a recent tweet about the cognitive dissonance I feel about it when talking to Jessica: “In my last podcast, Jessica silenced my particular brand of selective vegetarianism (NO horse eating!) when she advocated for the real deal.”
