"genuine monsters ... walk among us every day"

"The truth is that our society is populated by an unknown number of genuine monsters — people so deranged, so evil, so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can possibly ever comprehend them. They walk among us every day. "

It's obvious the NRA and most militant members don't stop to consider that these monsters -- who walk among us and seem "normal" until they lose it for any number of reasons, including being "under the influence" -- are indeed within their ranks as well.
