Gun massacres occur with sickening regularity in the U.S. After each one, the only response from NRA toadies such as Ted Cruz is their programmed, robotic "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families." Will Cruz and his ilk do anything to try to prevent more massacres? Of course not. But after the Brussels attacks, what is Cruz's response? Surveillance of Muslim neighborhoods. Why are gun fanatics like Cruz moved to advocate taking action by the deaths of 31 people in Brussels, but blithely unmoved by the deaths of thousands of Americans in an epidemic of gun violence?
