Guns are the most democratic things on earth.  A gun will kill you regardless of whether you are Republican or Democrat, child or adult, black, white, Hispanic or Asian, Jewish, Christian or Muslim.  I don’t see why the National Rifle Association doesn’t run full-page ads emphasizing “Guns are Equal Opportunity Killers.”  Instead, the NRA wants to see more guns in circulation on the ludicrous argument that more guns will mean less killings.  They want to arm school teachers, believe everybody should pack a heater and when Arizona bought back weapons and destroyed them, the NRA complained that those guns should be given to gun dealers and put back in circulation.  Instead of stupid arguments that defy common sense, the NRA should stick to the irrefutable fact that guns were made to kill and do not discriminate against good or bad guys.  Of course, the NRA is willing to consider a national data base of the mentally ill, but not a national data base of gun owners. Perhaps they are afraid too many names will appear on both lists.
