131. law abiding responsible gun owner

The NRA and other antiAmerican right wing extremists are responsible for the status of our gun safety laws. When the criteria for being considered a responsible gun owner is a simple birthday and citizenship, we can expect these type of results. The entire point behind the statement that he was a responsible gun owner until he wasnt is the fact that we ought to use some common sense and apply the lessons of history in coming to a determination about who constitutes a responsible, safe gun owner.
The NRA and other gundamentalists have destroyed common sense notions about the difference between safe gun ownership behavior and unsafe gun ownership behavior. For instance: someone that entertains and promulgates paranoid gunspiracy theories is, more often than not, a bad risk to the community if they have the legal right to amass arsenals of guns in thier home or compound. Almost all of America's mass shooting perps share the same paranoid conspiracy theories about the gubmint being out to take thier guns and make them do or be something against thier will. We all know this to be a fact, yet NRA supporters continue to claim there is no way to determine which gun owners will use thier guns in an irresponsible way. There are numerous testing technologies and community mental health organizations that can offer some of the tools needed to ferret out the would-be gun owner that represents a considerable risk to society. Somehow we are able to devise standards and tests that keep criminals from becoming police officers, child rapists from becoming teachers and village idiots from becoming brain surgeons. But the NRA and it's supporters would have Americans believe that the founding fathers didnt want future generations to use common sense when it comes to gunz- the NRA teaches Americans that the founding fathers intended the 2nd amendment to be used by any misanthrope to amass an armory of death and destruction to use as a threat against our democratically elected government and law enforcement officials. The NRA insists that there is no way to know who will be an irresponsible gun owner, before the gun owner becomes irresponsible. This notion flies in the face of reason and history. We have all of the tools we need to begin restricting gun ownership for those that have proven to be irresponsible about other important adult responsibilities. A man that beats his wife and children is a bad risk for gun ownership, yet the NRA works tirelessly to pass laws that reinstate gun rights for spousal abuse convicts. We know that an individual that is convinced there are black helicopters and weather control weapons at work to force certain americans into re-education fema camps is not a good risk for gun ownership, yet the core of right wing NRA support comes from individuals that admit to maintaining these partisan paranoid delusions.
This is the main problem with allowing a pro-gun-nut organization to masquerade as a gun sports and rights organization. America's gun problem arises from the systemic destruction of basic common sense gun ownership regulations by extreme right wing operatives that are only interested in the destruction of America and the liberties gained from the north defeating the south in the civil war. The right wing extremists that control the NRA have been targeting our gun laws because they know that the conditions created by the firearm free-for-all will dissolve American cohesion and lead to social conditions that will weaken our democracy.

The NRA and other right wing organizations are like vultures; America has been hurt badly by the defection of the republican party to the antiAmerican right wing- and the right wing vultures are picking over the corpse of our democracy in search of anything that is left of the infrastructure to give to the big donors. What is going to be left for our children after the right wing steals, destroys or shoots everything of worth in our once beautiful country?
But NRA supporters continue to play "hero in thier own mind" games that lead to further enhancing the rift between responsible gun ownership and NRA-approved gun ownership.
