Brilliant: Charles C.W. Cooke nukes every liberal gun control argument on MSNBC

The liberal playbook in the aftermath of any mass shooting works like this: The left, usually taking it cue from President Obama, declares that we once again have all the proof we need that we need to ban guns (except that they phrase it as "common-sense gun safety laws"), and that any argument to the contrary is self-evidently a refusal to solve the problem of gun violence, which is obviously the result of politicians' fear of the NRA or some sort of cultish devotion to the Second Amendment. What is supposed to happen is that the left shames us over our erstwhile refusal to "do something," and we dutifully bow our heads in shame and submit to whatever it is they want done. What is not supposed to happen is that anyone points out just how empty their indignation really is - coming as it does with all kinds of moralizing and emotion, but with virtually nothing in the realm of fact-based analysis or cause-and-effect reasoning that might lend any credence to the notion that their proposed solutions would actually solve anything.
