The N.R.A.

One question has yet to be answered.  Who are the NRA?  It is a difficult question.  We might be able to learn from Dr. Michael Burry's example.  He read the mortgages.  Is it possible to read the roster of this civil rights organization?  From the small amount of research I have done, they are a pro gun organization with three million members.  I have been trying to figure out who these people are.  If their lobby is so strong in Washington, there must be some heavy hitters in their league.  This question is simple.  Who in America believes that citizens should be able to possess assault weapons?  I am guessing the term assault weapon is a generalization in the view of the NRA.  They must be fundamentalists who are staunch supporters of our American Constitution.  Americans have the right to bear arms, because our history (as are the histories of most nations) is littered with war.  When war presents itself as a metaphor for our freedom, we must fight.  This is a postulate of survival.  Therefore a no gun America is not and never will be an option.  Our own militias defeated the British to earn our freedom from imperialist rule.  It is naive to think that America or any nation could exist without protections.  Australia is a nice pipe dream, but who has been there? Australia is not America.  It was a British penal colony truly that is hidden down under.  Other than recently discovered minerals, they  produce no products.  Therefore their global influence is minimal.  I respect them for banning guns, and I laud their result, much less violence.  Australia is not America.  We are guaranteed the right to possess guns for our own protections.  The issue is how to we keep these guns, often killing machines on steroids, away from our youth.  Further how do we keep these killing machines on steroids away from our youth who suffer from acute mental illness.  I do believe that the probability of violence is less if their were fewer guns.  Never will this happen in the United States, so we must accept it.  The question once again is who are the NRA?  Who feels Americans should be able to possess assault weapons, weapons formerly made available to our armed forces to protect America in case of war?  Does the NRA believe that it is likely America will be invaded from the North or the South?  While we have fought Mexico, most Americans probably would agree that we will not see an invasion of America from either country, Mexico or Canada.  The GNP of Canada is weed.  Sixty percent of their economy comes from the growing of Cannabis.  Do we really feel threatened by South America?  Ronnie did.  Those damn Commie bastards running drugs in Central America.  Please.  The likelihood of a domestic invasion in America demanding we defend ourselves with assault weapons is marginal.  Strike one.  The remaining answer is that assault style weapons will be used to defend ourselves against our own government.  That is ironic.  If this is the philosophy of the NRA, then it is ironic that they lobby the very body of people against whom they will be fighting eventually.  Trump's head is spinning.  This is what leads me to believe that the NRA is a shell organization.  It is a facade.  The real answer is no one cars about who will use assault weapons.  They only care that the AR-15 is the biggest selling gun in American history.  That means that the goons who support assault weapons never have thought about its implications to mentally challenged teens.  They could care less.  All they know is the selling of these weapons is making them money.  Thus the definition of current American Capitalism has been cemented.  We are not smart enough of a nation to think through any philosophical issue, because it only matters that we earn enough money to support our greed.  Greed is all that America has become.  The NRA is the gun industry, and they sell guns however they can.  It is that simple, and they are not that smart.  It is like Fayetteville, rednecks with money.  There is no point in trying to argue with stupid.
