........If one remembers back to between WW2 and 1960 the NRA was a HUNTING organization not A HUNTING HUMANS and killing humans organization. AND my Grandfather and father had HUNTING animals-type guns NOT semi-auto 30-round magazine, human-killing $3,000 military-style weapons of WAR ! And you-all will remember that MURDERS were few and far between back then. And the demented MASS-murder scene of TODAY did NOT even exist.
.........Which came 1st the MAN killings or the MAN killing weapons? I KNOW that I know!

You began by stating my point was moot- then went off on a tangent. It doesn't matter if it began with a chicken or egg. What matters is a gunman killing people in a public place in the Here and Now and a person showing up with a gun to stop him from shooting more people. This is what occurs- Now. There is no philosophy or social analysis involved... or anger at the gun lobby. When a shooter is aiming at human targets I'll fire a shot at him while you argue The NRA is corrupt. Let's see who stops him. YES. There is a place for arguments. But not at the time and place of the scenario I described earlier.
