44. We can do it!

Personally I am concerned about the large number of people who fatefully feel that nothing can be done about the unregulated firearm industry. Who feel the lobbyists with their bribes and threats to elected politicians have the upper hand. They feel terrible and actually suffer with a form of Post Traumatic Stress every time an incident like the Sandy Hook Massacre occurs. The laws can be changed. The mentally ill and career criminals can be prevented from obtaining guns. But people must wake up and line up their ducks. It is not a battle of semantics regarding words like assault or magazine or clip size. It is a situation that the founders of this Nation would frown at that we are putting ourselves through. Its frickin’ nuts that we don’t get control of this problem.
Study up on the history of the 2nd amendment and the history of the NRA. An honest study may change your paradigm. The Sandy Hook murderers Mother owned 3 guns, a lot of good it did for her.
