There are several things I have focused on if you have not fully read my blog, which are:
- The people that kill people with guns are typically gun owners (a fact the NRA ignores)
- We must change the message; instead of saying "gun control" we should use the NRAs own language for example, "we do not need gun control because guns do not kill people, but we do need people control because people kill people" and
- As such. we should institute laws that ensure responsible gun ownership; conversely, if one cannot be responsible then they forfeit their Second Amendment (2A) right until they can conclusively do so.
I believe in the phrase, "you abuse it, you lose it."
Sadly, a few gun owners have abused the 2A right by infringing upon our (as in ALL OF US) unalienable rights endowed by our creator and in doing so, these few put at risk OUR 2A right. I know one gun owner who believes that the 2A right, which was endowed by our government, precedes those rights endowed by our creator. What gets my goat is that this gun owner has touted his belief in Jesus Christ. Go figure.
I digress, the point is if the NRA is truly the protector of the 2A that it claims then it needs to promote responsible gun ownership to ensure that ALL gun owners will respect their's and more importantly others' unalienable rights. While changing their message will help, they need to support laws that will ensure it. Another way to look at, not all people should be able to exercise their 2A right, because they are detrimental to themselves and more importantly, you, me and our way of life.
Yes, it will be a cumbersome to gun owners, but less cumbersome then lying stone cold dead on the ground with no where else to go.
Oh, by the way. the 2A remains intact. Is that not what we want?
