My Letter to the NRA


Dear NRA,

I am an avid gun enthusiast and LIFE NRA member as such I have somewhat of a bone to pick with this fine organization. It is in regards to prosecution of gun owners whose guns are used to commit crimes.

Like most individuals, I’ve read and seen the murders taking place in schools and the like by individuals who have used a gun that they ‘took’ from another. In some instances it is children who take a parents gun to school, where the gun was not locked up and readily available to the child. Here is what I’d like to see the NRA do, work with States publically to encourage an increase in the prosecution of the gun owner.  It is ridiculous to me that an individual can lack all responsibility for their firearm, it can be used in a crime and the gun owner faces little prosecution.

In the case of Maryland, if I were to leave my pistol out and my son took it to school. At most I could receive a penalty, which equates to a misdemeanor charge – that is absurd. I take full responsibility for my firearms, as should all gun owners, and it is my responsibility to secure it.  I would greatly encourage the NRA to show some teeth on the prosecution of poor gun owners, this would build a much larger consensus in favor of gun rights.
                                                                                     

Responsibly and life long yours,





Life NRA Member

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
