This letter was in response to a column by Bob Barr, in that he mentions the good ramifications of the Nordyke vs King ruling by the 9th Circuit Court, clarifying that the 2nd Amendment MUST be honored by not only the Feds but the STATES as well.

LETTER:
Of course, Mr. Barr completely ignores the gundamentalist zealots, whose agenda would include arming your kindergardeners, shotguns in churches, and handguns in the delivery room, since they believe that guns and the Second Amendment is the panacea of all our societal issues and ills.
The NRA used to be an organization of hunters and sportsmen. Since LaPierre and Heston, it has been infiltrated (and taken over) by an angry, scared mob of paranoids and Chicken Littles, armageddonists, Luddites, gummint-haters, Waco whackos, wite soopremasissies, xenophobes, homophobes, and, of course, neo-Confederates.
The NRA is right though - guns don’t kill people, people do. And, now, in the US, many of the people that own guns are misanthropic crazies, who have been stoked and wound up by forty years of unrelenting whining, hating, and paranoid ranting from the GOP.
The uncomfortable truths about guns are these: 1) your weapon is infinitely more likely to kill or maim you or your family than a criminal and 2) he or she that pulls the weapon first has a distinct, almost insurmountable advantage and 3) you are far more likely to die at the hands of a deranged, legal gunnut gunowner than at the hands of a “terrist”.
(I understand that gun and ammunition sales have sky-rocketed since Obama’s election, that ammo is hard to get - can someone give me a (non-paranoid) explanation of the reason for the spike in sales, other than Mr. Obama’s complexion or “funny-sounding” name?)
Name removed to protect the stupid
