But that's the thing, gun-control can never work. I mean sure, those laws could be set in effect, but who would obey them other than the people who are just downright afraid to break the law? People buy guns for hunting, self-defense, or a rampage. If gun control laws became tougher, people would just start resorting to buying guns illegally being shipped into the country from South America. Anyone who would be considered a hostile enough to own a gun for anything other than hunting, wouldn't have a problem owning an illegal firearm if they thought it would keep them safe or if they had a personal Vendetta against somebody.
All along the NRA have known exactly what they are doing. They are promoting the use of guns for sport or protection and putting ideas and inspiration in people's heads. Not to mention, if I'm not mistaken, one of the Columbine shooters girlfriends bought him one of his guns at an NRA rally.
In the documentary Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore attempted to interview Charlton Heston, who at the time was the president of the NRA. All he had to do was mention that the NRA held rallies in all of the cities where school shootings were happening. Without even saying a word, despite the interview being conducted at Heston's home, he quietly gets up and walks away without answering anything. That is the man they had representing the NRA..
Everything about our system is promoting both sides of the spectrum it seems. The government wants gun control while officially sanctioned organizations are promoting the use of guns. This isn't related, but look at what the FDA does. They want people to get healthy but at the same time they approve ridiculous foods like cheeseburgers with fried chicken patties for buns. How does that make any sense? I personally think the government is secretly trying to kill off anyone they think could potentially fall prey to these fucked up contradictions in the system set forth by them.
