I think the government wants us to lose our gun rights. That way as soon as they can they will have total control of us. Only reason we have any freedom in America is due to guns. There are ways to handle this, sometimes when I see how easy it is to get a gun I laugh. Just fix the laws.

 

This last paragraph from the OP is a bit insane. This is the kind of thinking that makes gun nuts go crazy and dive into paranoia and conspiracy theories. This thinking is how the NRA and the republican party are able to tell people crazy things like the government is coming for their guns, or as soon as the democrats are in charge they're gonna get rid of the second amendment. Makes paranoid gun people even crazier. So please just stop with your crazy talk. Guns are not the reason we have freedom in America. That's insane. Our laws and our institutions are the reason we have freedom.

The less power the NRA has the better. They have no interest in the well being of America or in American lives. They only care about their own power which is solidified by the proliferation of guns throughout society. Hence why the only solution they or republicans (who follow them blindly) ever have to gun violence is more guns! That's like the sugar industry saying to fight the obesity epidemic by feeding people even more sugar, or solving a cities traffic problems by putting even more cars on the road. Just plain stupid and dangerous.
