NRA vs NEWTOWN, CT - STAND UP FOR THEM


NRA = GUN NUTS, FOOLS, PAID POLITICIANS - STAND UP TO THEM....

Do you think the people of Newtown, Ct, are rushing to buy guns and assault weapons, to protect themselves !!!! - from another school, movie theatre, or public gun massacre ???...

The NRA, Fox News (?), misguided gun nuts and others are trying to make us feel guilty for talking about gun laws and assault weapon bans, in the wake of the child massacre in Newtown.

NRA and their gun nut, fools and paid politicians members are trying to downplay another gun massacre, make us think - its about a single deranged shooter - and not the insane and wrong headed 'gun culture' that is engrained in the US culture. Our wrong belief that people kill people, not guns !!! And that more guns in the hands of more people will solve the problem.

There automatic response to our very prevalent - gun massacres - is more guns, less laws...'Don't take our guns away' - because then only criminals will have guns'. Not acknowledging that the availability of guns - is how criminals get guns ( from home invasions, B&E of autos, etc)

Military assault weapons (AR15 /16s - AK 47s - Uzis - Mac10s - etc ) are not guns. They are military weapons designed to kill a large amount of people in the least amount of time. High capacity magazines allow you to have all of the ammunition you will need without reloading as often as needed with smaller magazines.

Our Founding Fathers (1781 - 231 years ago) and our Constitution could not have imagined these personal weapons of mass destruction and death.
The Fathers were trying to establish the right of citizens to be able to protect themselves, their families, homes and towns from the English, French, and 'savage' Native Americans, before the establishment of local police departments, state police, FBI and other law enforcement agencies that have been created to fill the need for public safety - common sense guns laws (except) for home protection should be discussed and reevaluated to make them stronger and more effective.

We need an immediate Assault Weapons / High Capacity Magazine Ban - The President, Congress, Governors and State Legislators must all stand up pass similiar legislation - Stand Up against the NRA. We also need to review all gun laws to strengthen them and make them more effective.

We need and END to 'Open Carry Gun Laws' in Michigan and in every state in the Country, and more and improved training for those 'legitimate' citizens who want and have 'concealed weapons permits'....Everyone who carries a gun - should know how and when to properly use the weapon and a clear understanding of the rights and responsibilities of having a gun, in public.

Michigan Governor Snyder must Stand Up to the Tea Party / right wing Republicans and the NRA and VETO - the recently passed gun bill, that would allow gun to be brought into schools, stadiums, hospitals, and have a real review of the Michigan 'Open Carry Law' and 'CPL Law' - to ban OC and to make mandatory more training for CPL carriers.

I am a retired Detroit Police Sergeant - I want the massacres of innocents to be stopped - and the availability of military style weapons to end.
