Re: Responding to Fred's weekly newletter

I was surprised.  I was surprised it wasn't 99.99 percent!  I am more surprised at your response.  How can you defend Republicans after what they are doing to our liberties?
 
It is too funny that the NRA ridiculous gun stance (that won't hold up in court, once a case is finally brought) is what has your attention Fred, while domestic spying and a new bill that will allow the military and police to work together in a common command structure during "times of extreme emergency" is going through Congress. 
 
Isn't that what you are REALLY worried about?  If it isn't it ought to be. 
 
That should be the topic for you next newsletter, the REAL erosion of our liberties, not the hypothetical loss of a 2nd amendment "right" to which no one actually has priviledge.
 
Either you don't deny the NRA is a corporate driven scheme to keep guns from being controlled, or you actually believe they are looking out for your (supposed) 2nd amendment rights (which don't include not having guns controlled by the way!).
 
Who wants to ban guns?  I want them controlled, just like cars.  Registered licensed INSURED owners just like a car...keep track of them, just like a car.  They are dangerous, just like a car. 
 
They ought to be under control.  And TAXED more than cigarettes.  And when used in a crime the registered owner ought to be brought up on charges too.  Bullets too.  Traceable after they are shot.
 
Guns kept at community shooting ranges makes a lot of sense. 
 
Guns in people's houses...not so much.
 
I am also surprised that something so anti-human as a gun would be something you, a supposed pro-life proponent, would want anywhere near his neighborhood.

You sound surprised that 83% of NRA money for politicians goes to Republicans.  Why would they wish to support Democrats who are determined to ban guns?  Does it make sense to give money to one's enemies?
