I wonder if anyone has calculated the ratio of NRA corruption dollars to the number of gun deaths caused by their evil influence. Perhaps the number could be called the "Sandy Hook ratio."

I calculated that each gun should cost about $60,000 if we included social costs, like they do with cigarettes and airplanes.

It would be a great start to dealing with our gun violence epidemic.
