Maybe you guys/gals come across these type of articles often but I do not so when I do I read them. I enjoy getting to know the enemy and reading articles like this help me attempt to understand the enemy. A few interesting quotes:
http://www.theglobalist.com/the-nra-...s-cosa-nostra/
Truth be told, nobody in the United States is afraid of the Soviet Union anymore — but virtually everybody in power is deadly afraid of the NRA — the National Rifle Association. It acts as the ruthless countrywide enforcer of gun libertinism, the perverse and irresponsible, completely self-absorbed love of guns.
The common denominator in all of them is less “did we miss the signs?” on this particular, isolated individual — often a domestic attack — and more about the rampant access to guns and a powerful “movement” that fetishizes killing instruments.
Of course the U.S. media are not the only ones studiously careful to avoid the issue. So are U.S. Democrats. They are similarly avoiding the issue. Why? Because they believe that taking the only ethically and morally correct stance — to ban most hand guns — keeps them from winning elections.
The same applies in the United States today. The NRA is as pervasive and destructive a cancer on American society as la cosa nostra is on Italy’s.
And all people of moral rectitude ought to stand up to defeat this monster. Failing that, Americans will have to realize that what they perceive as their innate sense of moral righteousness really is a twisted case of self-righteousness that nobody else in the civilized world is able to follow.
Just what'd I'd expect from the liberal left.
