NRA deserves a black eye

It’s my theory that lack of intelligent gun control will lead to a police state.

I hope I’m wrong, but there may come a time when people are fearful of going out because gun violence has become overwhelming.

Many people are killed each year by gunshots in this country. But, so what? Many of those people don’t count for much because they are poor.

I have been to socialist countries in Europe and felt very safe, even in Paris. There are very few murders by guns there. And those citizens vote for their governments just like most Americans.

The United States of America may have once been for the people and by the people, but no more.

Our country is now run by and for the rich.

I think the misguided policies of the rich National Rifle Association that encourages gun ownership is a big contributor to gun violence. Guns are made to kill, nothing else.

Does a man need to have a gun to be a man?
