To begin, the lovely young ladies currently gracing the White House have lent their Dad to the USA's people. As a nation we are grateful for their sacrifice in sharing him. And. Their Mom. She has been an incredible force for good in the USA. How could we have "Moved" without Michelle Obama? She has been great and she is a great sport, too.
To turn to the rhetoric of the NRA and their lousy idea of fun on all fronts, including political, it is inappropriate. But, they are struggling. They are seeking any and all 'points of contact' to secure their monies to leverage power. They want to leverage power with the electorate in areas where lack of education exists, where people are naive as well as seeking to put the 'fear of the government' in people ready to believe it. I suppose it could be characterized as Anti-American. There is no one seeking to remove any gun sport and/or personal protection away from the American people. Given the verbiage of the NRA, they are simply Anti-American.
The dead across this country occurring with guns that simply do not belong among us is enormous. The NRA sees the dead as collateral. That is a battleground term. The USA is not a battleground. That was resolved a long time ago and except for extremists the American people are not interested in having their country establish killing fields again.
The country doesn't need high powered weapons. They are being bought by straw purchasers at our southern border and shipped across to ANOTHER country struggling to stop the drug cartels and protect their people while trying to improve the lives of their citizens. That is impossible if the USA doesn't stop this disaster. The USA is not alone in the world to conduct it's domestic life styles in a vacuum. We are causing problems for our allied neighbors. I would like to keep them as allies, too. That is not a minor issue either. It adds to endanger private gun ownership, if we as citizens can't own responsibly.
So, to prevent redundancy, the NRA is way out of line. They are not promoting sport or domestic tranquility or responsible gun ownership.
The NRA campaign is about money that they hope will ultimately bring power over the CITIZEN of the USA. Do folks stop to realize what the agenda of '...if guns were in the hands of the good guys the bad guys would be stopped,' actually means.
Think about it.
It means every person in the country needs to own a gun for personal protection. It means everywhere an American travels with and without their children they need weapons to COUNTER RETURN fire by others with weapons.
It means everyone adds to their grocery list, the ammunition supply in the house. It means there will be more dead domestically at the hand of those they know. It means there will be more dead children within their own homes as they find the guns that are not secured (And there will be plenty regardless of any prosecution for neglect.). It means more dead citizens while shopping as they are dead and cannot return fire. It means there will be more dead children at schools as there will be gunfire in their classrooms and in the hallways of what is suppose to be thought about affectionately as THEIR SCHOOL. The place where they are entrusted to people who are basically strangers away from home.
The entire agenda of the NRA is unhealthy for our country. There is every reason to have personal protection within the home to protect those loved ones, but, to bring that to an agenda empowering the very people, the extremists that will kill you anyway is the wrong way to think about this.
We need to stop thinking about guns as an answer. They aren't. Guns have power. They have power to kill. We need to stop this madness in our country. The NRA is wrong and they know they are with no way to simply take a back seat so much as a methodology to exploit every opportunity for money and power. I am sorry, but, that is grossly immoral lacking ethical standards at every turn.
The other thing is the NRA is advocating public spending on POSTING police at schools. We spend money, as a society, to protect the citizens that serve in pubic office. We do that because they have inequitable focus on their lives by people known to be violent. Not every citizen has that focus.
The focus on the Obama children is grossly wrong and a threat. A real threat. The NRA and specifically their CEO, should be found criminally involved in an agenda of victimizing the innocent. The four year olds, too. The children at Sandy Hook Elementary School were killed by a weapon legally purchased by an extremist that believed in owning them and a weapon they advocate as responsible gun ownership. I suppose that is difficult for the NRA to take ownership of as FACTS.
