Worried about infringement of your Second Amendment rights? Concerned with human life?

Have any feeling of embarrassment as an American? How does this square with American exceptionalism, i.e., John Winthrop’s “as a City on the hill” with all eyes upon us?

Rather, a cruel rewrite of Marvin Hamlish’s “Nobody Does It Better” lyrics comes to my grieving, sadly cynical mind.

Done anything about it? Either way? For/against background checks and closing assault and other gun sales loopholes? Crowdfunding of major TV ad campaigns to turn our political leaders in face of the NRA? Or increasing NRA membership dues?
