The NRA is a joke!

You would think that a group that wanted to protect the right to bear arms would be a group that would also want to teach gun owners responsibility of gun ownership. This group had no shame in having a rally after the Columbine shooting with absolute no respect to family, and friends of those victims. In the years since then they have made little moves in teaching and promoting responsible gun behavior. I am all for hunting rifles but what a hunter needs with a semi automatic weapon is beyond my conception and I would LOVE for someone to explain why they would need such a weapon in their house. Speaking of which, the Republican Party being the puppets of these extremist groups that they are were more than happy to let the ban on these types of weapons expire. In the time since we have seen a rise in gun related deaths. Look at the past two weeks with the murders in the Texas courtroom, the Atlanta Courtroom, the shootings in Philly, the lady who shot people at church and now another school shooting, the worse since Columbine. You may not hear too much about this case given that this happened in a poor, Native American area. As the economic situation here worsens for the poor and middle class, violent crime rises, it is a fact. Can we afford the go back to the 80's where in most large cities was at an all time high? When are people going to wake up and stop blaming t.v. and finally start addressing the issue? I would love to know why the NRA should not be more accountable for what they promote. In my eyes this is a dangerous and irresponsible group that needs to make their motives clear. No longer will the "right to bear arms" be a suitable answer because it is bigger than that and they know it. No more mind games, grow up NRA and be the responsible organization you claim to be.

In other news I found out that the rulers of the USA are not required to justify their actions. What's new you say? Well did you know that the group in place to guard against terrorism doesn't have to justify any of its action to Congress, so they have more power than Bushy himself. Considering the people who lead this group that is scary. Also if you are questioned or held on the suspicion that you could be a terrorist and then later let go because you aren't one, it is illegal for you to tell anyone about it. BULLSHIT, the first person I would talk to is CNN. I would walk right downtown and have a sit down with Anderson Cooper. We have been bullied and scared into giving up our liberties as Americans. We are pushing closer to a government controlled by only a few and mostly on a federal level. Isn't this what Reagan told everyone to fear during the cold war? Was it not the leading point against the Democrats then? How long before this government has non-Christians rounded up for moral obstruction. Are we becoming 1940's Germany? I doubt it, but the similarities are scary.
