Almost Alone, Gun Owners of America Defends Gun Rights
Most other supposed advocates of self-defense rights have played possum
Mike Hammond, chief counsel for the powerful gun lobbying group Gun Owners of America said the National Rifle Association, the nation's largest gun lobby, was hiding from the media like an opossum following the massacre on Friday of 20 children and 6 adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The NRA "always does this, whenever there's a tragedy, they go into 'possum mode," Hammond told The Huffington Post on Monday. "They think that if they don't say anything that it will go away."
