NRA- holes

So the NRA promised the American public that they would come up with meaningful solutions, and contributions to the discussion on gun control. These new ideas were well thought out, so much so, that the organization needed a week to put them together. So naturally some people thought that the NRA might, just might, add something of real substance to public discourse. Well as it turns out we should not have worried the NRA's message was the same old tired thing.
since I was a child I have heard the call from conservative groups, the NRA included about putting more guns in schools. Some schools even tried it, Columbine is a famous example, so even as most people gasped at this idea it isn't a new one. It would seem that for all their screaming about tyranny, the NRA is the group advocating far reaching government intrusion into our lives. You see to them, having armed guards in schools is preferable to responsible gun ownership. why prevent guns from falling into the hands of mentally ill people, just flood the country with more guns. Why address issues that lead people to commit acts of violence when you can attempt to address an armed gunman instead.
Oh but it doesn't end there, oh no. It seems that while guns don't kill people, movies and video games do. This argument is almost as old as I am. You see when you are an organization that represents gun makers, you can't even think about limiting what they can make or sell, so you vilify someone else. That's right, those of us who play video games and watch T.V. and movies, we are the problem.
This isn't even what pisses me off about this statement though, you see the NRA is supposed to say stupid shit like this. What pisses me off is that the news media is listening. Where the media had been talking about mental illness and it's intersection with gun laws in feeding mass shootings, now they have changed the dialogue to the topic of violence in video games and movies.
Come on people! The answer is not to become a third world nation, a state that sensors what it's citizens can watch, while surrounding them with armed men.
