While the NRA Congressional Payoffs lay down cover for the organization.

...Lanza was outfitted like a commando, with guns and ammo clips engineered to kill the maximum number of people in the minimum amount of time. There were other weapons in the family’s possession that would have seemed better suited for recreation or self-defense — the reasons why, according to the National Rifle Association, we need to arm ourselves to the teeth. But Lanza left a .22-caliber rifle at home and a 12-gauge shotgun in the car he drove to the school. He had maximum mayhem on his mind....

A + B DOES NOT = C

Wayne LaPierre lays down a strategy against the people of the USA. He seeks to instill fear of each other in order to sell guns. Nothing he says equates to being able to stop someone as well prepared as Adam Lanza. Adam Lanza was not a thief seeking booze, cigarettes, the best silver and jewelry. Adam was a determined killer. He had a plan. He had fantasized about the plan and he defined his masculinity in a very inappropriate manner.

He defined his masculinity ALONE and with the idea of having power over his pain. Across the spectrum of these gunmen, they are fighting off demons. Their own demons. 

I hate to put myself forward as an exceptional mother, I was not. I didn't have substance problems, the boys had pets as they grew up, they joined youth organizations; The Boys and Girls Club, The Cub Scouts, 4-H. I did all the things a single Mom was suppose to do to make sure her sons were exposed to healthy thinking of masculinity. When the boys confronted the idea of guns and war in their teens they did so with the supervision of a 'unit commander' in the form of JROTC. They provided community service. They put up and took down the school flag. They had a guy to talk to, a real guy whom if there were any questions about how the boys were doing was a phone call away.

But, I wasn't perfect. Not by a long shot. The boys had their 'teenage stuff' going on and I could afford to provide them a comfort zone of sex appeal and charisma. My oldest son was very charismatic and had many benefits others his age did not. He was and is a good looking guy. But, he and I had our scuffles. We weren't happy with each other sometimes. But, I pushed back against the extremes where other parents didn't. I think it paid off.

This mess that the NRA creates by promoting hugely powerful guns in our society as necessary is nonsense. The NRA is not going to provide a security in life or to your home that is realistic? Not. There is absolutely no reason for military style weapons in the world. None. Military style weapons should be secluded to the battlefield. End of discussion.

The idea that LaPierre puts forward is that the bad guys, usually from the black ghetto, is going to invade your home with the same weapons you can purchase at Walmart or worse from some gun store stocked to the rafters with mass death. It is crazy. To begin the Ghetto Kids are getting their weapons from the rich white kids that are probably your local drug dealer in the high school. So, the idea that White America is making their lives safer by stocking up on military style weapons is bizarre. White America is creating their own hell by having these weapons at their disposal because their teenagers are probably selling them into the city to people they don't even know.

So the next time there is a Home Invasion with military style weapons, remember, it was the hell the victims created that have come back to haunt them.

When is this idiocy going to end? Never? Forever Americans are going to have this cycle of insanity in their lives because LaPierre is a FEAR MONGER!`

Just remember one thing. Just one thing. When the majority of us are able to stand in pride of our children, OUR BAD HABITS, have deprived other wonderful parents of that pleasure in life.
