http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A6m0NAq6RDkThe above link will take you to a YouTube video that splices a "celebrity" anti-gun PSA with actual clips of the celebrities using guns and glorifying violence in their movies.....and getting rich doing it. Where's the movement to address the glorification of violence, murder, mysogeny and mayhem in movies( and video games)? The hypocrisy is sickening.
I'm no fervent "NRA gun Nut" (although I am a member), don't own a "black gun" and carry (when I do actually carry) a Kahr K9 with a capacity of 7+1. I believe in the 2nd Amendment. Residing here in Connecticut gives me an up close and personal view of the current anti-gun situation we are facing. Every gun shop I know locally is completely sold out of Ar-15 style weapons and HC mags. One shop has a waiting list 150 deep for AR's with many already paid in full. And .223, .45 and 9mm ammo--good luck! This has been largely ignored by the local media, they're bent is squarely in the "ban the guns" camp.
The problem is societal and systemic, passing laws only law abiding citizens will adhere to is not the answer. They're talking about a 50% ammo tax, as if a cretin determined to kill as many people as possible, and die doing it, is going to care whether he pays $30 or $20 per box of ammo?! Silly! That tax will hurt a law abiding sportsman who shoots 100-200 or more of rounds of clays per month in a big way though.
Until we force our "leaders" to address the root issues of violence in our society, and demand from them logical programs that address our safety we will be revisiting these awful tragedies again and again. Besides the victims and their families ( who I am heartbroken for) the only others who'll pay the price for the demented and homocidal actions of the sick few are law abiding, peaceful minded Americans.
