During his truly bizarre press conference this afternoon, National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre blamed everything under the sun for last week’s Newtown massacre. From “blood-soaked films” to violent video games to the mainstream meda, LaPierre pointed a finger at every cultural “culprit” he could think of except for the person most responsible: shooter Adam Lanza himself.

LaPierre’s speech disturbed not only liberals, for obvious reasons, but also a lot of conservatives and libertarians who found his finger-pointing at video games and movies wrongheaded, and his suggestion that we send armed officers into schools to be… disturbing.
