THE NOTORIOUS NRA ....


It's another week and yet another school shooting, the National Rifle Association (NRA) an association or grouping of different individuals, with the principal cause of defending their rights to bear arms , any kind of arms . They have with time evolved into high degrees of efficiency in lobbying and perfecting the art of buying politicians from both parties, albeit more so from Republicans lately .

They have gained with time more power, and their ideas have spread, manipulating the rights of owning defence guns, into owning any piece or arsenal of weaponry, including powerful warlike machine-guns equipped with powerful gadgets. They have penetrated the psych of its members, even the ordinary and non aggressive ones, who are being brainwashed to adopt the more persuasive argumentation and turning them more fanatical about the whole issue of simply owning a defensive gun.

So it's really, the association that evolved with time, and not necessarily the individual member/owner, creating a super charged individuality against any type of defenseless moral community or societal well-being. In a nutshell this organisation has turned itself into an existence of primarily achieving together what its individual members cannot achieve, it is nowadays binding and blinding its members and the population at large.

Approximately 10,000 people are killed yearly from guns in the US, mass shootings have exceeded 22 shootings in schools for the 2018 year alone. And we're not at half year yet, no one can deny the reality that we're living an epidemic of slain students and civilians and traumatized survivors . The NRA still finds excuses and old rhetoric to influence and maintain their legitimacy in the God given right to own and use a gun country.

Any other country in the world with such a record of violence, and loose gun control would be labeled and declared dangerous, crazy and terrorist, invoking travel bans, advisories and heavy warnings, from our own State Department .       

Despite all gun violence and the epidemic of school shootings around the country at an alarming rate and although two thirds of Americans want stricter gun control, knowing very well that only two major sides or groups are to blame, the NRA, and the politicians caught in its thrall.

My usual appreciation for your time spreading the blog .
