With guns drawn on both sides of the aisle, politicians, interest groups, and even customarily neutral journalists are taking aim at one another with deadly accuracy. Accusations and counter charges are being fired across the fence with such intensity that they make the Wyatt Earp gunfight at the O.K. Corral seem timid in comparison.
This is not at all surprising, given the carnage suffered in the last two years that is increasing in frequency and severity, resulting in combat zone body counts. Newtown, an ironically gun friendly area of Connecticut, with surprising strict gun control measures, has raised the American consciousness, resulting in an emotional response not seen since perhaps the Vietnam War.
