Schieffer explained on air that representatives of the National Rifle Assn. had been invited to appear on “Face the Nation,” but had declined. Similarly, all eight of Schumer’s Republican colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees guns, were asked to appear; all eight declined. [More]Now that's leadership.
Kudos to Louie Gohmert, though. Somebody who takes point while the rest are hiding under beds deserves to know he's not as alone as things may appear. We ought to take a second and let him know he did good--if you want to bypass his contact form non-constituent disqualifier, the 75701 Zip Code works.
Thing is, there's no shortage of gun rights advocates who could and would stomp the antis into the studio floor, but small fry don't have the media-designated gravitas to get invited on the big boy shows.

I sent a thank you note.
I(t's a shame that the big boys didn't defend us. But they are quick to send e-mails to beg for more money.
Well, to get a little Zen about it:
As not to decide is to decide, not to engage the enemy when he wishes to engage is to engage him with non-engagement. This frustrates the enemy, wears him down and weakens his resolve with the power of the passage of time.
The antis want to fight now that they feel strong. We will wait until they do not feel their strength so much. This is wisdom. The anti is now like the raging tiger - he wishes to sink his teeth into us and tear us apart, but we give him nothing, so his teeth merely clack uselessly against themselves, and his claws rend nothing more than the earth. In time, we will move against our enemy, but the time now is for patience and planning. We must see a path to victory before we proceed, and the path is not yet clear. When the path to victory is clear, then we will take it, as we have done in the past.
Does that sound good? I always liked that Sun Tzu stuff. Of course, one can always argue against patience; there's always a case to be made for being impetuous, but it's rarely the best way to proceed.
