WARNING ABOUT MILITIAS PREPARED FOR CIVIL WAR HAVE BEEN IGNORED TOO LONG

While the militia preparations have been known about for years and that they have been stockpiling ammunition and arms has also been ignored.  Admittedly, the public was never made aware of the NRA (National Rifle Association) as we are now hearing about it.  It does not serve its members as much as it serves gun makers and makers of gun parts.  Needless to say, it is in the best interests of those who have been making guns  for years to continue to rake in their revenue.  Putting bans on certain guns will carve a very large hole in the profits of people making vast profits on guns about to be banned from the public while the military is also cutting down its stockpiles.

It has been ever thus.  When cars came out it put blacksmiths out of much of their work.  The media was limited to radio, everyone had to have one.  Today a relatively few people own them and they are no longer the focal point of the family room.

The real question is whether these makers will diversify and stop relying on the NRA to continue to act as their golden goose, or will they adapt to no longer having such a large market for the attack weapons they have been selling to the public, many sales being without background checks and thus illegal without a paper trail to find the purchasers.

For too many years, our country has been no so slowly hi-jacked because we were focused only on the life and death caused by terrorists and wars.  Suddenly we find ourselves interested in why these guns are so difficult to get off the market with the support of the Congress to aid the clean-up.  The NRA is not going to follow the President quietly.  They already have disrespectful ads and are trying to convince the public that President Obama wishes to ignore the second amendment.  The lies being spread by Fox News is despicable but the people have followed their leader so they must realize they would not be particularly marketable to legitimate news outlets.  So they cling to their lies and trouble making..

 Unnecessary weapons. attack weapons will not be taken off the market soon.  It seems the politicians value their re-elections (paid generously towards by the gun companies through their extremely huge support of the NRA) want to stay in Congress more than they want to do the job for which they were elected.  As ever, the public listens to the lies and believes them as all brainwashed people seem to be.

This is a frightening time in our political history.  There is no respect for the Administrative branch of our government and too many threats of secession and civil war float around for my comfort.
