The NRA would have us believe the organization is an advocate for the mental health system.
According to Wayne LaPierre, head of NRA: "Mental Health patients should be taken off the streets and be committed!"
Our mental health system is in great need, but to use mental health in a clever public relations campaign is to mislead the public. It is outrageous and will not work.
The problem is that we permit unregulated manufacturing, distribution and sales of military guns, equipment and ammunition to be used by people on our streets and country roads. The unregulated business of guns is not acceptable.
It is time for voters to tell our elected officials, and those who would represent us, we will not be side tracked by simplistic language or solutions. It is time to stop being afraid of the NRA and take back
the civil society in which all of us, gun owners and non owners live.
