many years ago I dropped out of the NRA because of their position on automatic rifles (military like capability).
I understand their position that a foot in the door with ANY control is a beginning of more to come. I believed then and I believe now the NRA has more to gain by facing the reality on "select" issues.
When all gets said and done again we will see that none of the so called history making moves by the president will have any affect on the violence that is not resident in the guns being used. The people who have other than adhering to the laws of the land are not going to be affected one bit by the political and emotional jousting on this subject.
Trying to make sure the wrong person does not get to buy a gun does not mean they will not get a gun.
Trying to make sure a wrong type person does not get a gun will be no more effective than to make sure a person who should not get a driver's license does not get one.
Just wait until the list of those exempted from the new requirements starts to form. You know the list of those who might be offended by being refused....even though the refusal is legitimate per the new regs.
Speeches and arm waving do not resolve problems.
As a related subject it is note worthy to watch and listen as everybody tip toes around how to make sure the nut jobs don't get a gun.
As far as any regularions to "control" ammunition or the guns some of us already have in our possession all I can say is......GOOD LUCK on that pipe dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now just like the oil industry, gun and ammunition manufacturers and retailers are enjoying notorious profotability by simply gouging a panicking segment of Americans.
