I’m not referring to the 1949 film noir classic. Nor am I referring to the 1992 movie starring Drew Barrymore entitled “Guncrazy.” I’m referring to the people who run the N.R.A. That organization has called upon its members to oppose President Obama’s nominee for Surgeon General.
It seems that the nominee, Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, has supported a ban on assault rifles and limits on ammunition and has called for safety training courses for gun owners. The N.R.A. has now put out the word “to oppose confirmation of President Obama’s radically anti-gun nominee.”
These people are willing to have more children die rather than impose some common sense regulations. They are willing to do this to enjoy the continued financial support of the weapons industry. Their ignorant members can’t even see that they are being manipulated. And enough Democratic senators are so afraid of losing the November election that they are caving.
Remember the NRA logic--the only defense against a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun. Preferably one with an assualt rifle.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget what Sarah "Dingbat" Palin latest comment about a bad country with nukes can only be stopped by a good country with nukes. Not her exact words but that is the idea.
Maybe Democrats need to have good prgressive primary opponents.
I said this sometime ago. Guns have become the great weapon in population control in this country. At 30,000 deaths a year consider how this reduces the population every generation.
ReplyDeleteSurely condoms would be a better way to control population, but it is an interesting thought.
