Ahhh Yes. I Smell The NRA Again.

Well good ole NRA is at it again. Yep, never let it be said that the NRA would pass up any opportunity to make things more dangerous for Americans. Now it's a bill before the House of Representatives that wants to make it possible for anyone with a permit from any state to carry it in any other state, any time. For instance a New Yorker, who must pass a rigorous set of requirements designed to eliminate all but the most trustworthy before obtaining a permit to carry a concealed firearm, would then be allowed to carry that concealed firearm in a state like Tennessee or Montana where, presumably, you must be able to prove you are actually alive to obtain the permit. Well that doesn't sound so bad. The problem is that the folks from those states and similar states could then carry in New York, or Massachusetts. Let me ask you this, If you need to carry a concealed firearm for protection, why would you want to go to places like New York or Massachusetts in the first place? Why not stay at home and hide under the blankets? The next thing they'll want, is to be able to carry them on commercial airplane flights. You think I'm kidding? They won the right to carry in national parks and bars. What do you think is the next step in the natural progression of self protection? It's air transportation where actually using that gun could imperil the lives of everyone on board, that's what. Then it's probably a law that would require everyone over the age of 10 to carry a concealed firearm. Oh yeah? Well let's see what's up the NRA's sleeve in the years to come. It's not likely to be in the best interests of the American citizen, that's for sure. As I've said before, the NRA was formed to work on behalf of sportsmen and foster opportunities for the sportsman to participate in the peaceful enjoyment of using and owning sporting firearms. So why are they so interested in non-sportsman issues?  I wonder, again if it has anything to do with the huge financial donations from gun manufacturers and the gun manufacturer's desires to sell as many different firearms as possible? You betcha.
