To Right Doesn't Constitute Need.

       It's interesting that two years after Sandy Hook, America has no interest in making our children safer. Neither the NRA, the gun manufacturers nor the American government has any interest in doing anything to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people or making sure that gun owners know how to safely use and store them. When the NRA and the gun manufacturers speak, the government quivers in fear and cowers in the corner.
       The people are so brainwashed that they believe any attempt to make it safe for children or adults is a blatant attack against their right to own a gun. It's so silly, but the NRA, with financial help from the gun manufacturers, has cleverly convinced Americans that their safety depends on all their neighbors having guns designed for the military. If the M1A1 tank manufacturers association joins the NRA family of financiers, God help us. As for me, I'm holding out for an Apache attack helicopter. I have no idea how to fly one, but I know people who have no idea how to properly handle a gun, so...
       Yet nobody in government, except perhaps for a very few wackos, are suggesting that no guns be allowed to be in the possession of any person. Nobody's suggesting that. Gun ownership is NOT  under siege. There is NO suggestion to change the constitution to eliminate the right to own and bare a gun. NONE, ZERO, ZIP. So get over it. Use your brain, think for yourself for a change. Think of your children for a change. Your children won't be safer with every adult in school and at home and everywhere in between are all packing heat. They'll be safer when we begin to stop people who should not be allowed access to firearms from getting their hands on them.
       But understand this, it won't happen all at once. You won't go to bed tonight and wake up tomorrow morning and all the bad people will no longer have guns. It will take some time. But we need to start. Sometime. Why not now? Or I'm placing my order for the operators manual for my chopper.
