Their cold, dead souls as GOP contenders fight Obama’s modest gun controls

Brought to tears by the toll of gun violence — and blocked in Congress by the National Rifle Association’s paranoia peddlers — President Obama on Tuesday took executive action to close loopholes on background checks for gun buyers.

Republicans leapt into immediate competition for the title of extremist best able to distort Obama’s ultra-limited, ultra-reasonable directives as a monstrous government plot to destroy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on the shooting range.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz won faster than a trigger pull by disseminating an image of a determined-looking Obama in a storm-trooper outfit with the headline, “Obama wants your guns.” Jeb Bush’s accusation that Obama has a “gun-grabbing agenda” was weak tea in comparison.

Leadership of the Republican Party is now composed of pandering liars because stoking irrational fear is selling bigtime among gun-obsessed Americans. They’re buying weapons at a record pace as if to beat the imminent closure of firearm shops.
