1. So we should take up lying about the Constitution and the Courts
and abandon common sense positions that are favored by a majority of voters, just to placate a handful of paranoid crazies who are beating their meat over assault weapons?

"Instead of emphasizing what people cannot do with firearms, we should emphasize what they can do"
So instead of saying the gun industry shouldn't be able to sell assault weapons to loonies and thugs, or sell guns without background checks at gun shows, we should cheer each shooting in America?

"f they reject the idea, they will lose their hold on the political center"
Who in the wide world of sports thinks the NRA is anywhere near the political center? Even Poppa Bush called them extremists and publicly dropped his membership.
