27 Dead, Most Are Children, at an Elementary School in the U.S.

We can't get MSNBC here in Holland, so I'm afraid I really don't 'get' MSNBC-jokes, sorry for that. Naturally, we can get Fox News, though, which is a joke in itself.

For what it's worth, I was trying to make a joke, but I do find the NRA's statement deeply troubling none the less.

The MSNBC "jokes" aren't even funny in my opinion. The "expert" commentators are all on Fox News, everyone knows that

Charlton Heston, who was the president of the NRA a number of years ago said they would need to take his guns away from his cold dead hands!
NEWS FLASH! Charlton Heston died in 2008! Time to act!

And here's the wiki article to prove it! > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_Heston

There's a lot wrong with my country, but I wouldn't consider living anywhere else because, in my less than partial opinion, the USA is the greatest place on earth - faults and all. I do think, however, the best way to show patriotism is to acknowledge the homeland's shortcomings, not to pretend the homeland is exceptional simply because it exists. Without addressing failures, how can one improve?
