NRA president Bob Barr has a weekly column. He's had it for years, well before he took the job with the NRA. In his column, he takes apart Murthy's advisory.

It does, however, have everything to do with politics; in this case, the one policy issue liberals invariably turn to as a way to rally their base — gun control.
