MONEY VS. GUNS

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's pile of cash is not the only big money being put on the line against American gun ownership and the Second Amendment.  Bill Gates, Steven Ballmer, Paul Allen and Nick Hanauer have added $4 million to Bloomberg's $3.5 million in a bid to outlaw all private citizen gun ownership in the United States. 

Their game plan is to... state by state... initiate a national requirement for gun registration; they can't confiscate our guns until they know who owns what.  Unfortunately, they're all on anti-gun steroids and are oblivious to the truth that the thieves, murderers and other criminals of the country are highly unlikely to go running down to the police station to register their guns when such laws are enacted.  Somehow, they believe that if they can seize the gun in the closet of their law-abiding neighbor, they will be safer.  

In enacting these laws, the group is making criminals out of you and me.  How many people have YOU shot and killed lately?  On the other hand, how many violent crimes have been stopped in their tracks because some gun-bearing Good Samaritan citizen interfered long before the cops could arrive at the scene?  And, it's bad enough that there are violent criminals out there, like the guy who took down that Washington D.C. family and torched their house; but what about the advent of radical terrorism right here on the homeland?  

If they really and sincerely want to reduce violent crime and killings, why aren't they using their money to fund comprehensive and objective studies into the root causes of criminal behavior?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
