Anytime there’s a mass shooting, gun rights activists feel a special sense of dread. It starts with the loss of life but soon goes beyond even that. We know that on top of everything else, we’re going to have to dig in for a fight as gun control advocates jump on the opportunity to use the bodies of the slain as a soapbox before those bodies even reach room temperature.
But we fight anyway. We can’t afford not to fight, even before anyone knows any of the facts, because who knows what will happen if we don’t.
