Rochelle Riley: Loss in the war on guns costs everyone | freep.com | Detroit Free Press 5/4/10

There is no War on Guns...if so the NRA would be spending millions of dollars trying to prevent the War...depicting President Obama as an anti-American whatever, who doesn't
believe in the Constitution ...doesn't want citizens to protect themselves - from big government - let alone your neighbor (who might be white, black, brown, yellow, gay - or an alien).

People of all races are racing to buy guns - to buy bullets (that are in short supply - now) for the coming War on Guns...that President Obama as a black president will surely propose.

But what we have now is an Arms Race - the more guns you have the safer you are ....but that isn't true - 25,000 Mexicans have been killed by guns purchased in the US Southwest states and smuggled over the border - because owning a gun larger that a .38 caliber is considered a military weapon, in Mexico.

The Mexican drug cartels, Mexican gangsters have to protect themselves from the big Mexican government that is trying to eradicate them. The cartels are killing, men, women, children, musicians, politicians, judges, police officers, soldiers, anyone that stands between them and their next drug deal, and US gun dealers are aiding and abetting the cartels, apparently with no remorse, conscience or regrets - because the bottom lines is that selling guns to the Mexicans is highly highly profitable....

President Obama has enough on his agenda...but an assault weapons ban and strict enforcement of gun laws in the Southwest would provoke a fire storm of discontent - that may undermine his efforts..but it is something that Congress - must take up on their own and face down the National Rifle Association, during an election year, to save lives US and Mexican lives - The NRA should no longer be the most powerful lobby in the US - and people should no longer be allowed to buy an AK-47 or FN 5.7 (cop killer gun) and we must change the culture in America - that owning guns is a birthright - this is not 1776, the British and Indians have been defeated.

PO Huff was lost because of a 'ARMS RACE' and loose and easy access to guns (and not enough Detroit jail space)...no 10 year should have to again hear that 'dad isn't coming home' because Congress fails in its responsibility to stand up to the NRA.
