Gun nuts never fail to disappoint. The NRA, in their “we only hire the best people” efforts, has a hired a real winner to lead the organization. And, to put it mildly, Doug Hamlin’s college hobby was a sign of some very serious psychopathy:
“The details of the case, described in local media reports at the time, are gruesome. The house cat was captured, its paws were cut off, and was then strung up and set on fire. The killing was allegedly prompted by anger that the cat was not using its litterbox.”
I am pretty sure that serious psychopathy is a redeeming quality in the NRA’s eyes. Such a personality attribute helps hugely when the next mass shooting of kindergartners rolls around, makes it much easier for the NRA to keep on ignoring the calls for help and the giant puddles of blood on the classroom floors.
