NBC Nightly News just had a segment on Gun control again. Seems the NRA is holding their annual get together in Indianapolis this week. Again puffing and posturing about everyones right to have firearms. Outside the convention hall are a group of people apparently headed by a leadership of women (mothers) whome have lost someone to gun violence. Obviously they have conflicting beliefs with the NRA. They blame the NRA for perpetuating gun violence. The 5 million or so members of the NRA do not advocate gun violence. The NRA believe in the right to own guns.....legally. They advocate that guns be allowed for recreational purposes, not for the slaughter of innocent children.
One of our local cities, South Bend, experiences gun violence with frightening frequency. I feel safe in my assumption that the perpetrators are probably not card carrying members of the NRA. Most likely they belong in the "dumb ass" category of humans. People of little social value or ambition beyond wanting something for nothing, or a little short of ethics.
While I support the women in their efforts to make society a more safe environment, I cannot agree with their views that gun control is the answer let alone accomplishable. It is already illegal to kill someone and yet that doesn't stop these idiots. Making firearms illegal probably will not stop these idiots. Idiots will continue to be .........IDIOTS.
