Say NO to the "Petition to Forbid Support of the NRA on this Site." Here is why:

49. It's not just about mental health

It's the easy access to firearms. Harris and Klebold wanted guns and got them. Lanza wanted guns and got them. Holmes wanted guns and got them. Cho wanted guns and got them. And all the other mass shooters, as there are far too many, wanted guns and got them.

If you start cutting off the easy access to firearms, it will be harder for the drug people to obtain them and take them to Mexico. And criminals as well. Simple.

I'm reminded of the Luby's massacre where a CCW WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED, despite the fact that Suzanna Gratia Hupp kept claiming that if she had been able to bring her gun into the restaurant, she'd have stopped it. Wasn't there a mall shooting where a CCW guy confronted the shooter and he was shot to death? Oh and the Congresswoman shooting? A CCW guy nearly shot the wrong guy. CCWs DO NOT WORK and it is more harm than good (people love to cite the incident where two young yobbos tried to rob a little casino with a broken handgun and the CCW guy drove them out, although he was not watching exactly where he aimed, moving along as he was shooting, and he could have seriously hurt innocent people).

People keep saying that if the principal had a gun, she would have stopped the young man. I will counter that argument with if the young man had a smaller magazine round (3-6) and had to change the round after shooting out the doors, the principal would have tackled him. But NO, it HAD to be legal to have a THIRTY ROUND MAGAZINE!!!!

The Mental Health argument is a deflection away from the problem of easily accessible firearms. Just today I read about a little boy who accidentally shot himself in the head by a gun that was left out in the open.
