With the country awash in guns... it's not surprising there's so many gun deaths.
Along with mass shootings.
And with every call to restrict the ownership and use of weapons of mass killing (you can't go hunting with an AR-15 and a hundred round drum) we get the *whining* of the 'legal gun owners' (aka entitled white men) about the 'Constitutional Rights' to wag their penis extenders around.
Well, I'm sick of it.
First of all... when guns are restricted, deaths from guns drop.
Second of all... the Second Amendment is *not* about a single person owning guns but the establishment of a *well regulated militia*. The founders had a definite fear of a national, standing army especially in peacetime. Their hack was to restrict the national army and rely on local militias that could be called up quickly.
Third of all... if you look at the blue print of the Constitution: The Federalist Papers - the use of local militias and the dangers of a standing army is spoken of in great length. The right of an individual to own firearms? I might have missed it but I didn't see *any* mention of that.
As for the NRA - I'm old enough to remember when the NRA was about gun training, gun history, gun safety and hunting safely. Me and my brother learned all about gun safety at the local police firing range. We got those cheap little medals from the NRA when we did well in target practice. That NRA is DEAD. It's all about selling, selling, selling guns and ammo - to white people.
Gods help you if you're black and armed.
