we will be joined by ana marie cox, and nra expert frank smyth. ana marie, you were watching most if not all of the nra proceedings this weekend. tell us what struck you most about what you were watching. >> i think if there was one headline to come out of it for me, this is not necessarily the most important thing that happened but the most astonishing thing, at the end of glenn beck's speech when he said he would be willing to fight for gun rights alongside blacks, whites, native americans, hispanics, and people from off the planet. i'm speechless. at least he's consistent in his craziness. i mean, the whole thing was kind of unhinged, but mr. weisser is in good company. my dad was a lifetime member of the nra, a marksman most of his life, owns multiple guns, he resigned his membership recently as well. i don't think they'll be alone. the average nra member sees what's going on in houston and rhetoric is getting further away from what a normal person wants out of gun ownership, which is to be a responsible gun owner. they don't look responsible
