6. We need to stop calling it "gun control"

"control" is the language that the arms dealers love. The narrative needs to be refrained as gun "safety". And base safety regulations on NRA protocols before the fucking arms dealers took it over in the 70's. My grandfather disowned them in 1979 and he was about as conservative as you could get back then. He burned my NRA card also. The NRA was about safety before the arms dealers gained control in a hostile takeover in 77. Thats what they are now, the political front for US arms dealers. Smith and Wesson got sick of companies like Raytheon et. al. making millions in weapons contracts while they were saddled with deer hunters. None of this is about the 2nd amendment, 0. It's about American small arms manufactures becoming arms dealers and cashing in. They could care less. As long as they can hide behind the 2nd by scaring fuck heads they'll lose their guns they will continue to unabashedly flood this country with weapons legally. Its all about the cash man.
