Both citizens and lawmakers have been sleeping at the wheel
while the NRA has stripped away one right after another from people who do not
want to live in an armed camp. No insurance is required of gun owners though
they are capable of inflicting
infinitely more damage than car owners and even vicious dog owners, both of whom are insured. What?
Gun owners are not registered like car owners and dog
owners, to protect innocent children who go
into their homes not to mention law enforcement officers called there. How did that
happen?
And where were mothers, fathers, gun victims, teachers, medical professionals, community members, school officials, employers, employees and city, state and federal officials when the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" was passed in 2005? This law gives complete legal immunity to "manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages resulting from the misuse of their products" that might be brought by those killed and maimed by guns. The entire gun industry in suit-proof to protect it from "reckless lawsuits" says the NRA. The gun lobby is "protected"; what about us?
Thanks to the black hand of the NRA and its Mafia-like lobbyists, toy guns are better regulated than real guns!
Luckily, the nation is taking a look at the firearm
free-for-all we have been living under and enacting anti-straw buyer laws.
Thanks to a straw buyer, convicted felon William Spengler, who killed his own
grandmother, waltzed into a Gander Mountain in Henrietta, N.Y. and chose the
weapons with which he killed firefighters on Christmas Eve 2012. Thanks to
straw buyers, 1,300 firearms seized on Chicago's streets were traced to one
dealer, Chuck's Gun Shop, since 2008.
Just like 9/11, we have been lulled into a false sense of
security about existing laws"and Sandy Hook was the wakeup call. END
