Main streaming the gun culture. This is what we are up against I think.

Mainstream is what's the new trend. when one "style" gets old, a new one is reborn,

The NRA wants to main stream the gun culture. I think it's because it is in the interest of the gun manufacturers.

It's the reason for wanting to teach guns and gun lore to young children in school.

It's the reason not telling us "now is not the time to talk about gun control."

It's the reason for telling gun owners the Obama is coming to get your guns. Fear is the glue that holds the gun culture together. Fear of gun grabbers, fear of gangs, fear of intruders, a fear that tells a person they need to be armed.

It's the reason the answer to gun violence from the gun lobby is more guns.

The current debate about gun control is putting the breaks on the main streaming of the gun culture. It is the best reason we have to keep the debate going!.


Just for information, I no longer respond to gunner's post that are in the form of 20 questions.
