Why Krauthammer Is a Moron

Charles Krauthammer is a moron because he takes his talking points from clever Wayne LaPierre, chief lobbiest for the gun manufacturers, who earns $1,400,000 a year by promoting the sale of the guns of mass killings. Today Krauthammer blamed the murders of 26 people in Connecticut on "an entertainment culture soaked in . . . violence." Now if Krauthammer could actually think, it might occur to him to compare the United States to other nations with an entertainment culture soaked in violence. Japan might do. What is the murder rate in Japan? About 1/15th that of the USA. So it isn't the violent entertainment that makes us different. . . . How do we differ from Japan? Well, Americans own half the guns on the planet. The Japanese do not.
