The special nra and its chockehold on congress.

 The nra is finally responding to all the calls for talk about some form of gun control.its response...its followers start a petition to have a senator who called for a assault weapons ban to be tried for treason.yes,you heard me right.but..how did she commit treason?i want all of the nra nuts who might read this to remember how the  2 amendment is worded.....A WELL REGULATED MILITIA,BEING NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE,THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS,SHALL NOT BE AFRINGED.....
   even when i was a kid,i looked at this as saying the right of the militias to have weapons shall not be affringed.now i still look at it as saying the militia.what a lot of people forget that john Hancock wanted this to be reviewed every two years....why? because they were talking about a voluntary militia.not 320 million armed Americans,some who only want weapons to saw down kids.the nra frames this in a way to look like our forefathers knew one day there would be shooting deaths on the scale it is today and they would approve.but i seriously doubt they would.if they did see it being used as an excuse for the whole sale killing of innocent Americans,they probably would got rid of it. yes,they knew a lot of Americans made their living by hunting.but,i do not know anyone who uses a assault weapon to hunt.
  T his is why our leaders fail to do anything.when they try something that will make America better,the nut jobs come crawling out.and the special interest starts mud slinging. and until we get a congress that is willing to stand up to the nra and other special interest,we will continue our downward slide.and until we stand up to the nra ,there will be more mass shootings,and as bad as i want to believe it will not happen again,more school shootings.

twisted view of gun rights.

 people have this idea that they have an absolute right to have whatever gun they want.but,i do not believe that would be the way our forefathers would see it.it has become a tragic,twisted view,perpetuated by the NRA,and gun makers.but,i believe that ownership of a gun is the same as ownership of a car.it is a privilege ,not an absolute right. just like with a car you should have a license,and insurance.and if you are deemed unsafe,you should be barred from owning it.and just like cars,some weapons should be barre
  and what i find truly astonishing is the NRA,who pretends to be for civil liberties,is in reality ,calling for a police state .in which armed guards are everywhere.schools,churches,hospitals.this,as with anything else,etc..patriot act,will give way slowly to something worse.the rise of a political police state.and i fear that after this rises and we elect a republican president,he will be turned into a king.
 there are dangers in both banning all guns,and having to many already.it is foolish to say guns do not kill people.that is what they were invented to do.we need to look and say there is a middle ground.and that is a ban on assault weapons.no hunter i know uses them.and most will tell you like me,they really have no place in civilian hands.but,these brain washed NRA zombies are pushing that this is an attempt to ban all guns.it is not.and i would never support it.we have a strong history of protection of gun rights.and Regan,Clinton both had assault weapon bans.it is only bush who allowed the ban to expire.the idea was a republican idea.i do not want a police state.nor do i want guns in our schools.nor should the NRA use fear and hate to get what they want.this country needs to face its fears and make logical laws.
  another twisted view is the second amendment was made to protect individual rights from the government.this,is false.when they created it.our country had no standing army.the idea was,that in a time of crises ,when another country invaded,these farmers,etc..would form a militia that would defend our country.today we have a large powerful military.we no longer have a draft.we no longer rely on our civilians to be our army.so,in fact in historical terms,the second amendment  is obsolete.

Bob costas,Gun culture

 Poor bob costas,he dared say the truth on prime time .we as a nation have gone gun crazy.there are kids carrying semi automatic weapons killing other kids,there are maniacs going to movies killing 100`s.but,hey it is not guns.it is the ole guns don`t kill people.that is about as stupid as you can get.yes,guns kill people.that is why there are semi automatic,and assault riffles.and why?why is it so dogmatic not to talk about some kind of gun control?no,a normal person has no need for a gun with a cartridge that carries 100 rounds.please,,if argue for this,i assume you are planning something.i am not nor should anyone argue for all guns to be taken.but,given there are more guns than people,lets at least stop making some kinds for the civilian population.here is a good example.the .50 calibure handgun and riffle.an average person does not need this.this is a weapon of mass destruction..all i am saying is there is good logic to have some kind of restrictions.
  then there is the Facebook argument,criminals do obey the law.true.but,if we outlaw certain things from being made,they will slowly fade out.and here is a big point,are we willing to wait to some Rambo a hole to get one of the really high cal.guns with a large amount of ammo kill over 200 before we decide?but who am i kidding,nothing will happen if that does happen.the NRA will say now is not the time to talk about it.
 and,here is the worst case scenario,a criminal with a high cal.weapon with over 300 rounds walks in somewhere and begins shooting,and some john Wayne wanna be returns fire,between the two you will have at least 100 dead.and wither not john Wayne wins,chances are ,one of his stray bullets will hit someone.
