I Joined the NRA

The heated and emotional arguments coming from the Left after the incident in Newtown, CT is frightening me.  The iron-fisted control freaks in the leftwing government are embarking on a full blown campaign to outlaw firearms, so the least I could do in response was join the NRA.

Is it time to acquire a handgun?  Maybe.  If I can get a day off.  But then I'd need to join a shooting range somewhere to become competent.  Another day off or more.  Then I'd need to get a concealed carry permit.  Maybe more than a day off.

Days off are the hardest part these days.  So I'll have to wait and see if and when I can acquire a means to protect myself and my family before the National Socialist in the White House orders all private firearms be confiscated, leaving us all without the means of protecting ourselves from the roving gangs that will spring up to endanger us.

In Connecticut a mentally disabled kid got hold of his Mom's guns then used them to kill her, the adults in the office at the elementary school, and a kindergarten class.  The guns didn't cause the problem any more than the vehicle he used to drive to the school.  The disturbed boy who invaded the school and shot so many innocent people was the problem.

Maybe instead of trying to control people by taking away their guns, sodas, french fries, and SUVs the government should try to stop mass shootings by mentally unstable people.  Maybe by trying to make sure unstable people have the care and supervision they need.  You don't stop the next mentally ill young man from going off his meds and shooting a bunch of people by taking firearms away from stable and responsible adults.  Maybe you stop it by having more stable and responsible adults armed so they can stop the shooting before it takes out two dozen people.

I'm devastated by the way those kindergarteners lost their lives.  But the Second Amendment is not to blame.  Actually, the willful destruction of the family is ultimately to blame.  I think it is now up to people of faith to step up and change people's lives and minds one at a time until our country is once again the best civilization in the history of the planet.
