The state of our gun laws is not because of the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller that established the “right of an individual to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, but rather the power of the NRA on its members, Congress, and many politicians across the country.
Because of you, companies are already scrambling to disassociate themselves from the NRA. Best of all, it is becoming deliciously obvious with each passing day that politicians have finally – finally – met their match.
If ever Americans were to rally around one cause so pivotal to our future, the narrative about guns must take center stage.
In the aftermath of this latest mass shooting, there is again a loud call for more gun control. Will the deadliest killing in US history of 49 people in Orlando finally be a tipping point, causing the enactment of reasonable gun control legislation at the federal level?
In this violent nation of ours, there seems to be a disconnect between our Second Amendment “right to keep and bear arms” and the number of mass killings in this country.
Aaron Alexis, a former Navy reservist, killed 12 people at the Washington, D.C. Navy Yard, September 16. Alexis was shot to death by police. Already there are renewed calls for gun control legislation, which will undoubtedly fall on deaf ears.
