Why gun sales are booming

The people who really rule America know that guns are like a baby's pacifier:  its something to keep you feeling safe and secure while the real powers regroup to steal your rights, property and your life.

Yes, there was a time when having a gun meant you could resist tyranny.  But, in a world run by bankers and brokers, aided by crooked bureaucrats and donation-eager politicans, your rights and property are eroded by the legal system.

The insanely-rich can buy legislation that concentrates the economic power of the nation in their hands.  That legislation is influenced (at least) and outright bought by political donations.  Thus, the wealthy over time get laws that favor their rights at the expense of everyone else.

Unfortunately, guns are no use against this kind of crime.  The defense of society depends on people voting like their rights, property and lives depend on it.

What I can not fathom is how after four years of President Obama basically ignoring gun laws the gun lobby can claim that he is anti-gun.  If he WAS anti-gun, we would have seen some effort by his administration to limit sales of assault rifles and full-automatics machine pistols. 

I mean, no one ever hunts with a "Street-sweeper" do they?  If the NRA was responsible, they would draw a clear line between hunting weapons and people-killing machines.  Who is running that operation, anyway?  Instead of learning what menbers want, they tell members what to think and even how to vote.

Thank you to the pro-gun lobby for keeping this conversation meaningful and polite; we all have to live together in the world of tomorrow.

People forget that the meaning of words sometime change over time. In the 30s-40s, to be a square meant you where fair and honest. By the 50s, it meant you where boring and old-fashioned.

"A well regulated militia" Militia is greek for "Citizen Soldier". "Regulated", to regulate a rifle meant to "sight it in" at a predetermined distance (normaly a 100 paces or abut 100 yards). To regulate the militia (people) meant to teach them marksmanship! The first line of the Second Amendment could read "The able-bodied males of this country, being proficient in marksmanship" Make more sense, doesn't it. And for those who think they meant the National Guard? The Militia act of 1792 says that the militia is not to be used OUT SIDE of the U.S. unless they are chasing a foreign invader across the border.
