Gun Lovers Won't Be Happy Until Everyone Is Armed All The Time

I have seen the NRA mouthpiece Dana Loesch on tv a few times since the Parkland Fla. school shooting massacre. Loesch has an invariable position that comes forth in every interview she has. The interviewer asks her whether this or that proposal to make America safer from mass shootings is acceptable to the NRA, and Loesch says no. 

It is safe to say that there are no proposals to regulate guns that are acceptable to the NRA and the nation's "gun enthusiasts" .  None. 

On the face of it this seems a little strange. There is nothing that can be done to regulate gun ownership that would make America safer?  Not according to the NRA. 

Wayne Lapierre always says "the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" . This is the mantra, and it is often repeated by Lapierre and Loesch and "gun enthusiasts". 

It is said there are 300 million guns in America. And guess what? The NRA thinks there should be more guns. 

What is this all about?  What kind of country and world will we have when everyone is armed?  Does anyone other than pacifists give this any thought? 

They say that back in the old west everyone was armed.  Many towns had a law that when you came into town you had to turn your guns over to the sheriff and pick them up when you left town. 

Are we going to have to have that system again?  You want to enter the mall? Leave your guns on the table by the door or you don't get in. Everyone enters and leaves through one door where there are metal detectors.

In lieu of this dystopian future , we could work to diminish the gun love culture that has so many Americans in thrall.  Work to have everyone leave their guns at home.
