Newtown etc. effect on Gun Sales

[Dennis]

The soldiers at Fort Hood were not allowed to be armed which does indeed make it a gun free zone. As for the 20 year old elementary school teacher being armed my feeling is that if she wants to accept that responsibility AND has appropriate training then why should she not be armed. My God, we have armed 18 year old men and women in combat right now. Apparently they seem to do OK. We have all seen 6 year old children that are responsible and do very well shooting firearms in a safe manner. We have also seen 50 year old men who I would not be in the area with if they had a loaded gun. As for the NRA and WL speaking out, what would we have them do, just roll over and give in to the anti gunners? I hope not. In my experience with anti gunners they lie about their true intentions every time they open their mouth. "We don't want to take away your firearms, just make it harder for the criminals and crazy people to obtain guns. We are only going after the semi automatic military type assault rifle types." Listen to the people on any of the news channels. An anti gun person on O'Reilly the other night said he wanted to close the, "order a gun through the Internet loophole." There is no loophole as we all know but him saying that makes it sound to any other citizen who isn't in the gun hobby thinks any of us can simply go online to Rock River Arms and order a machine gun. Please don't believe that another assault weapons ban will be the end of the upcoming harassment from Senators Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer or President Obama. It is the start of much more. When these people divide us and say they aren't after the hunting guns but only the assault weapons AND if we fall for it we deserve what we get.

I collect many types of firearms from assault type guns that I use to shoot targets and tin cans, hunting and collect, to Winchester Model 70's, side by side shotguns, handguns of all types etc. We need to open up our eyes and pay attention because these bans are coming and there will be nothing we can do to stop them. President Obama has already said there will be meaningful discussion with regard to firearms, mental health issues and whatever else can stop these needless killings of innocent citizens. But mark my words, there will be only lip service paid to the other causes of movie violence, Nintendo game violence and mental health issues. It is a ruse. There will only be banning guns. I wish us all luck but common sense will not be a part of the ban.

For anyone who doesn’t like the NRA there are plenty of alternatives. Voting isn’t enough especially if one votes for left-leaning politicians! We all need to do more than vote.

I also suggest to all to get involved by writing to our elected US Congressmen of Congresswomen and Senators. Get involved!

If all one does is vote once a year and then complain about elected politicians and the NRA then they might as well surrender their firearms now.

We all need to stick together. You may do so by joining any of these alternatives to the NRA, AND BY WRITING TO YOUR CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS!!!
