No Arrows Either.

       "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Yeah, we've all heard that one many times. The thing is though, if people didn't have semi-automatic assault rifles, maybe fewer people would kill fewer people. That would be an improvement, wouldn't it? There are numerous ideas that would help cut back on the killings we keep seeing. Maybe the NRA has some good ideas. And there certainly are many other groups that could make smart suggestions.
      One group that could make great suggestions and make them into laws, is the U.S. Congress. Now don't you think they could make some great suggestions and pass them into laws? Well why aren't they doing something about it. At least research the problem in an honest way and come up with sound legislation that they all could vote yes on.
       Oh come on now. I shouldn't be so silly. Congress isn't going to pass any legislation that would in any way harm the sale of guns. After all the gun manufacturers lobby wouldn't go along with that. And the NRA would explode any chance of reelection of any legislators who would vote for any such legislation. Why would the NRA fight legislation that would harm sales of military style rifles? After all isn't the NRA a sportsmen's organization? And nobody uses such rifles for sports, like hunting, right? Then what's the problem with making it harder to convert semi-automatic to automatic?
       It all has to do with profits. Plain and simple, it's all about money in the pockets of the gun manufacturers and the NRA. Ya see, the NRA gets too much of its money from the makers of semi-automatic guns. The NRA is not about to cut it's own financial throat just to do the right thing. Maybe we need to eliminate the sale of bullets. After all, guns aren't nearly as dangerous if they aren't loaded.
