88. Our current laws . . .
Fri Dec 14, 2012, 08:13 PM
Dec 2012

Our current laws regarding gun ownership are far too slanted in favor of open access to the most powerful small arms known. We must tilt that slant much more in favor of the innocent victims. And we must not forget that you and I may be among the ones murdered next time an insane outcast easily gets his hands on all the guns and ammo he could ever wish for.

The American people can shut the NRA and its lobbyists down any time they finally choose to act.
