TOO MANY GUNS

A woman's vagina is more regulated than assault weapons!

 

Food for thought. Think about it.

 

The line has been drawn in the sand. Both sides are prepared for the war of words to follow.

 

Lets look at some statistical items.

 

More guns were sold in November and December last year in the United States than all the guns in the Chinese and Indian armies combined.

 

You say I do not believe it. Believe it. What follows makes the statement very believable. It is all in the numbers.

 

Since Obama's election in 2008, 67 million guns have been sold in the United States. A very big number. Makes it easy to understand how last year's November and December sales could exceed the total number of guns in the two armies mentioned.

 

Which brings me to the salient points of this article. The first already mentioned is that too many guns are sold in the United States. The second has to do with who actually is behind the NRA and all the noise about Second Amendment rights, the need for guns to protect the home from governmental invasion, etc. 

 

The NRA unquestionably has many members. Since New Town, it is claimed 100,000 persons have become new members of the NRA. Members pay nominal dues. The NRA has an appropriate cash flow. However, more and bigger dollars support the NRA. The source of these dollars is the question.

 

With 67 million guns being sold in one year, the answer is obvious. The gun manufacturers and retailers. There has to be a great deal of profit in making and selling guns. 67 million in and of itself is an astronomical number.

 

I do not blame the manufacturers and retailers for waging this behind the scenes war. Each is in business to make money. It is the American way.

 

The problem I have is that the manufacturers and retailers are blinded to the damage being done by guns. Especially assault weapons. It is an intentional blindness born of greed.

 

There is no argument made which convinces me that a person needs a military type assault weapon to protect him self. Nor that a hunter requires an assault weapon to kill game.

 

Such are some of my thoughts and observations regarding the gun problem. I hope for some a bit of an eye opener. There is food for consideration here.
