Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) cited a general misunderstanding of assault weapons by the populous as a major problem. “This entire discussion does not concern machine guns, and yet I would venture to say a large percentage of Americans do not understand that”. In fact, machine guns have been illegal without special permission since 1934 under The National Firearms Act.
In this statement Ted Cruz wants us all to believe the dangerous weapons are already under control. What Ted Cruz does not cognate well is that military style weapons is a manipulation of the gun industry to circumvent the law to ban machine guns.
What difference does it make if a gunman has to pull the trigger one time or thirty times to get the same result?
The result is the same. In the days of Al Capone it was the machine gun that needed to be banned, in the years of civilized society the manipulated technology of the gun industry has to be banned.
When the result of weapons within the borders of the USA is the same as Al Capone, it needs to be stopped.

STEWART COOK/AFP/GETTY IMAGES - Publicist Tony Makris speaks at a press conference given by Charlton Heston on Aug. 9, 2002 in Los Angeles.
“Are the president’s kids (click here) more important than yours?” the deep and dramatic-sounding voice intoned. “Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?”...
In recent days we have witnessed innocent people gunned down by very dangerous weapons in the hands of a former police officer. He killed without conscience, with a resolve that was to break down the very law enforcement system in the country. The physical stature of that man accompanied by weapons was enough to overcome anyone attempting to defend themselves. Here again we have witnessed a person better armed than the people surrounding him to stop the violence. We witnessed the same in a Colorado theater and now a police killer. Gun control is necessary in the USA and it is needed now.
The gun lobby wants every American to believe they can control their every outcome with the assistance of manipulated and dangerous weapons. The NRA wants to sell guns while people die. There is no way the average American struggling to maintain their mortgages can afford the type of home defense the NRA is promoting as 'an every man' solution.

Wayne LaPierre Only Said What Gun Nuts Have Been Posting on Facebook (click here)
If you were baffled or shocked by the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre calling for more guns in schools at his riveting post-Newtown press conference, odds are it's because you don't speak LaPierre's language....
Isn't that the point? LaPierre bows to the gun purchasers of his lobby interests? He provides living commercials called testimony. He is not a leader, his Congressman in his pocket are not leaders, they are followers of very dangerous and dysfunctional mouth breathers.
When are the proponents of zealous gun purchasers going to stop the brain washing and demoralizing of a civilized nation?
Basically, the lack of sufficient gun control has instilled the faux value of "Bring it on!" of the average American. That is irresponsible and journalists seeking to back such attitudes are as irresponsible as the people they seek to promote as innocent practitioners of our democracy.
