. . . well maybe. . . but even if NOT. . . certainly one of the most creative, uncompromising, free-thinking artists. . .
. . . of this (and last) century . . .
(from wikipedia.com)
". . . Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American composer, singer-songwriter, guitarist, recording engineer, music producer and film director. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed rock, jazz, orchestral and musique concrète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band The Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. While in his teens, he acquired a taste for 20th-century classical composers such as Edgard Varèse, Igor Stravinsky, and Anton Webern along with 1950s rhythm and blues music. He began writing classical music in high school, while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands; he later switched to electric guitar.
Zappa was a self-taught composer and performer, and his diverse musical influences led him to create music that was often difficult to categorize. His 1966 debut album with the Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisations and studio-generated sound collages. His later albums shared this eclectic and experimental approach, irrespective of whether the fundamental format was rock, jazz or classical. His lyrics—often humorously—reflected his iconoclastic view of established social and political processes, structures and movements. He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion, and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech, self-education, political participation and the abolition of censorship.
He was a highly productive and prolific artist and gained widespread critical acclaim. He had some commercial success, particularly in Europe, and for most of his career was able to work as an independent artist. He also remains a major influence on musicians and composers. Zappa was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. Zappa was married to Kathryn J. "Kay" Sherman from 1960 to 1964. In 1967, he married Adelaide Gail Sloatman, with whom he remained until his death from prostate cancer in 1993. They had four children: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. . . "

(Thanks to NBCNews, Chuck Todd, Matthew DeLuca)
Gun-rights groups vow to fight any restrictions of weapons. I presume that includes grenade and scud missile launchers should the enthusiast have a large enough desire.
Of the many well-reasoned defenses they give for owning assault weapons is they are 'just plain fun to shoot' adding that folks who would ban them are 'misguided.' (One also said that high-capacity magazines are "fun" to have. Should we be concerned? Why must we even attempt to negotiate with these daunting intellects?)
President of the West Virginia Citizens League wonders how 'just one more law will solve these issues' which I translate as 'if a new law doesn't completely eliminate tragic, mass shootings by mentally imbalanced people, let's NOT DO ANYTHING. But then what great logic can we expect from one who says "People are killed greater number by cars, bats, hammers, hands, and feet" than by guns. He adds that ". . . attempting to ban the tool will have absolutely no effect." Now let me get this straight. . . I guy walks into a dark movie theater with a desire to shoot-up as many innocent people as he possibly can with a machine gun BUT, machine guns are banned. So he walks into the movie theater anyway, without a gun, BUT HE CAN'T SHOOT ANYBODY.
Same guy says that assault guns are used in a 'relatively small number of homicides. I don't how you twist that, fact it, a small number of homicides that involve 20 (give or take) innocent people at one time are BIG THINGS to me.
Another brilliant mind (chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association) says if someone can how him how lives will be saved by additional gun control, he'll look at anything, but a ban on assault weapons won't do that. He says, “I don’t like a bunch of dead kids, so I don’t see why we waste time on stale policies. . . ” How does one attempt to deal rationally with a mind of this lofty caliber?

(from http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/15/16524425-nra-releases-practice-range-shooting-app-after-blaming-video-games-for-violence?lite)
". . .Just weeks after the National Rifle Association forcefully blamed violent video games for gun violence, a new shooter game is out that appears to be from the NRA. "NRA: Practice Range" was released Sunday in iTunes, the Apple-run site. It features a 3D-shooting range and offers users simulated target practice. It isn’t clear what connection the NRA has to the app, which is described as an "Official NRA Licensed Product" on iTunes. NBC News has reached out to the organization for comment but has yet to receive a response. The game's launch comes one month after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which touched off a national debate over how to limit gun violence. “Guns don’t kill people. Video games, the media and Obama’s budget kill people,” NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said at a Dec. 21 press conference where he addressed the tragedy at Sandy Hook. "There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people, through vicious, violent video games with names like ‘Bulletstorm,’ ‘Grand Theft Auto,’ ‘Mortal Kombat’ and ‘Splatterhouse.’” The free app was initially recommended for ages 4 and up, according to the iTunes rating system, but later Monday was recommended for 12 and up. . .
