Liberals, Not NRA, To Blame

Since the latest school shooting, many companies have come out against the NRA, which was established to help gun owners be­come responsible with their weapons. Many blame the NRA for "owning" politicians they give money to. Planned Parenthood probably supports more politicians than the NRA does and their business is to mainly exterminate the unborn. Millions of lives have been ended by abortion, and those that support the slaughter of the innocent think they are doing good. Yet companies and individuals think the NRA is evil and must be stopped.

We have since learned that armed guards refused to stop the carnage in Florida. If they were NRA members, I doubt the orga­nization would have advised them to hide like cowards when their duty was to protect defenseless children in a school. I doubt the gunman was an NRA member. But the NRA is condemned.

Let's say the NRA didn't exist. There would have still been a school shooting. Wherever there is a sign that states that a place is a gun-free zone, it's the same as saying it's open sea­son on innocents lives. We can thank liberals for making those people targets. The NRA has had nothing to do with the deaths of people in places where only criminals are armed. I bet CNN won't have a town hall meeting pitting parents who have lost their chil­dren or friends to gunmen in gun-free zones against liberals who targeted the victims for death.

Ultimately, we must blame the killers for the deaths. The latest killer confessed to killing 17 and his lawyer believes the death penalty must not be inflicted upon him. Yet he believed 17 innocent people deserved the death penalty. Since he be­lieved innocent people deserved to die, why shouldn't he be treated in the same way? Even the Fifth Amendment supports the death penalty since it states that a person can be deprived of life if there is due process of law.

There has also been a degrading of morality in society. It's ironic that the NRA was established because its founders feared the gun culture of America was allowing the wrong people to have access to guns. Remember the assault weapons ban that occurred during the '90s? Clinton allowed AK-47s to be shipped in from China, which violated the assault weapons ban. Evil people are allowed to enter this nation that are protected by liberals. I bet the NRA doesn't support sanctuary cities or the killers that are protected there.

If there is another slaughter in a gun-free zone, shouldn't liberals be blamed and not the NRA?
