NRA Ultimate Goal - Weaponization Of US. Openly Carried Guns Just Part Of Regular Attire.

If movies and shows of the old west are or were accurate openly carried six guns on belts were just common attire in most towns. The NRA has this vision for America and the GOP supporters it. The end of gun free zones and ope weapons would be a cultural shock for most citizens.

The massacres do not matter. This policy position is paramount in their bun owning bible. We have to elect politicians who will see that this kind of policy never survives in our society.

The NRA's goals are about sales of guns by their backers, the gun manufacturers. How those guns are carried, not carried, used, not used, displayed, not displayed are of absolutely no concern to them. It's about the money and nothing more than that.

I don't think it's really about that agenda unless it proves to increase sales. It's fundamentally about money, everything else is simply secondary to the profit motive.

I would seriously reconsider my strategy and tactics. Just a thought.

9. You support gun control that does not affect your access to more guns

10. I have all the guns I need - my safes are full.

and since I don't carry in public, I don't need more places to carry them. I shoot for recreation - which means I only shoot at gun ranges.

But you know that.
