On MSNBC this afternoon, Jonathan Alter suggested that the president should publicly shame the leaders of the NRA: “You need Wayne LaPierre or one of those guys to come to the White House meeting, and if they won’t come, the president invites them to the televised meeting, and they won’t come to say their piece in public, they should be shamed into it, and assaulted, one of the terms they like, for their lack of patriotism.”
