What we miss in all this gun mess we suffer with in the United States is that guns are a Consumer Product, like an IPod or a a pair of Nike Shoes. This is what we miss in the fight over Second Amendment rights, the Second Amendment is just a ploy. The US Gun Manufacturers Trade Organization ... the NRA ... uses the Second Amendment the same way a car company uses attractive women to sell its product.
The Product the US Gun Manufacturers are selling are guns and ammunition.
We need to see this gun rights nonsense for what it truly is and recognize the marketing strategy the US Gun Manufacturers employ through their trade organization ... the NRA.
The NRA's main job is to protect the Second Amendment by making it seem to be under threat, when it isn't. This constant reenforcing of the Second Amendment under threat causes gun enthusiasts to hoard guns and ammo, driving up sales. At the same time, the NRA works diligently to buy politicians and keep gun laws weak, allowing sales of guns and ammo to flourish.
It is time to confront the marketing strategy of the US Gun Manufacturers via the NRA, and inject some sanity into the gun ownership issue.
This madness must stop, for a nation where everyone needs a gun to feel safe isn't Free.
