The NRA has fought gun control tooth and nail – it is easier for a person to get a fire arm because of it all. We can’t stop rouge dealers because of the legal interference or dealers who sidestep the law – we can’t even shut them down. The young man who was at the epicenter of the Virginia Tech shootings honestly checked NO to the question whether or not he had been committed under court order – he was obeying the law. The shooter at NIU, again, a ‘law abiding’ citizen.

We can’t stop illegal gun sales because we facilitate straw purchases and we let an under the radar market flourish through want ads by people posing as private parties selling their guns. We refuse to close the gun show loophole thusly arming the people we are so afraid of. We demanded an end to the assault weapon ban and now the LA police and other police departments are losing officers because of AK-47s.

We can’t stop a gun purchase by someone with questionable mental health. The attorney who helped in the passing of the illegal CCW law in Minnesota openly says he has a problem with authority which is labeled anti-social behavior, a psychiatric condition, by the mental health industry.

We can’t stop crime – an attorney in St. Louis Park, MN, point a loaded gun at his unarmed neighbor and issued a death threat for some illogical reason that he still cannot explain.

The gun crowd wants to arm students; wouldn’t that raise the potential of another Columbine, Virginia Tech, and NIU logarithmically?

I’m going to start buying stocks in the arms industry – you guys are going to make me a wealthy man, and that fact cannot be disputed.

In conclusion, one can only hope that the NRA and the gun groups get exactly what they want in a United States of their own creation. The best lessons learned come from reaping what one has sown.
