The NRA has become a promotional tool of gun manufacturers. Their business plan calling for the selling of more guns is not the way to protect schoolkids and teachers as they study, learn and grow. In less than five minutes, eight boys and 12 girls, all either 6 or 7 years old, along with six adults died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The NRA tells us that in the first 30 seconds of confusion some adult can recognize a mass shooter is in the building, unlock a safe storing a gun, find the bullets stored in a different location, run out into the hall and shoot the gunman dead. That would make a great ad for gun manufacturers but is far removed from reality. |

| Except that there is no constitutionally enumerated authority to do that. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
