Now it appears there has been an unstated partnership between the lunatics and the NRA: the lunatics supply an unlimited amount of hatred,violence and Batshit crazy and the NRA provides advanced weaponry, ammunition, and a political fog through which no one can proceed to cut off the machine guns and the ammo. The political fog is a work of political art. They took down one Maryland Senate candidate way back when - an early gun opponent- and the legend has grown to the point of invincibility. It is a big business but it is not like oil or food or clean water-- it is manageable, not too big for government. It's not like we could not live without it-- imagine the fright and panic-- a gun shortage-- lines two blocks long at Walmart for ammo---Huge
Now, supply and demand is an American tradition. There is a demand by the lunatics, we supply the victims- young, old, movie goers, pedestrians on NY City streets. Now what the NRA proposes is to add the possibility of a crossfire to the equation- that spontaneous evil would be met by planned good and in the shoot out, we can also become collateral damage. That would be progress, I mean we are probably falling behind the war-lord zones in Ethiopia, the child soldier zones in Africa or Taliban zones in Afghanistan; we are in peril of losing the number one rank in danger per square inch of life-- so we may need to accelerate the rate of destruction in order to keep up, so the NRA says it is the one to acept the challenge- put guns in every school.
The NRA for their part is ready for their vision of America to become reality. There will be no thought of say- limiting advanced weaponry from future sales-- no more assault rifles from Walmart, or On-line; no ban on sales to certified homicidal maniacs ( after all they too have a need for protection say...from assault by police officers)
Life in America, a perfect storm of legislatively protected gunfire-- ahh so we can all love the smell of gunpowder in the morning-- will it remind us of freedom ? I dunno, I think there are at least a few other Americans who don't believe the Constitution guarantees us the right to death by gunshot...hdm
