The Real Gun Problem Is Mental Health, Not The NRA
Even CNN gets it… The NRA is not the demon. But I don’t agree with her recommendations on how to address the problem.
Next time there’s a mass shooting, don’t jump to blame the National Rifle Association and lax gun laws. Look first at the shooter and the mental health services he did or didn’t get, and the commitment laws in the state where the shooting took place.
Strengthening gun control won’t stop the next mass shooter, but changing our attitudes, the treatment options we offer and the laws for holding the mentally unstable and mentally ill for treatment just might.

SilencerCo Conquest Kit
For those that can afford it, SilencerCo is offering a bundle on every silencer and accessory they manufacture, all in a custom Pelican case. That is 14 silencers and 47 accessories. If you buy the bundle, SilencerCo will cover all the ATF tax and transfer fees. I would love to have this bundle, but unfortunately I don’t have $20,000 to purchase it.

Controlling The Populace
No public gathering other than those organised by ISIS will be allowed at any stage. No guns will be allowed outside of its ranks.
By depriving Iraqi citizens the equivalent of our first and second amendment rights, the people have almost no way to legally petition the government for a redress of grievances. Thus, those in power have total control.
Making Up Facts About Guns
President Obama just can’t seem to help himself. Over and over again, he makes exaggerated or false claims about guns and crime.
Last year Obama kept asserting the bogus numbers such as “40 percent of all gun purchases take place without a background check.” Besides the study being based on a tiny survey it was started before the Federal background check law went into effect. Moreover, the 40 percent figure referred to all transfers, not just sales, and the vast majority of transfers took place within families through gifts and inheritances. Then, for good measure, Obama added an extra 4 percentage points to increase the number from 36 to 40 percent.
