Meet George Zimmerman: He Is the NRA

113. Here is the issue I have with gun control

the present laws are working just fine. Every year there are fewer gun deaths - even as there are more guns and laxer laws.

So I question the mind set that more guns are automatically bad. The facts show that in reality American's can be trusted with guns. The facts show that a tiny minority of gun owners ever use their weapons to hurt others.

I would like to see gun control advocates to be honest. To admit that perhaps the real issue is criminals carrying out criminal acts. To not smear as right wing fanatics the 99.999..% of gun owners that will never harm anyone. To understand that disarming the law abiding is simply political theater aimed at a politically correct demographic.


In my 50 years of life, the odds of me being shot have never been lower. Gun violence is at historic lows and still declining. So I question the "need" for more gun control. This incident is classic gun control politics - sensationalize a single tragedy while ignoring the big picture.
