Snipers opened fire on police officers in the heart of Dallas on Thursday night, killing some of the officers. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)The events in Dallas show how far off base the NRA and executive vice president Wayne LaPierre are. To quote him, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
I can’t imagine more “good guys with guns” than at the event in Dallas.
It is time to acknowledge that the NRA, supported by too many politicians, has laid the foundation for a violent society.
