An Open Letter to Ron Schmeits, President National Rifle Association

Dear Mr. Schmeits:

I would like to thank you for all your tireless efforts on behalf of gun owners everywhere. You have stood up for lawful gun ownership, and have prevented those terrible Democrats from taking away all of our guns.

And it is refreshing to know that the Second Amendment isn’t just for law abiding citizens anymore. Even though some 800 people on the terrorist watch list have been able to purchase guns, you are standing by your principles and opposing Senator Lautenberg of New Jersey in his attempts to close this loophole.

I think it is most American of you to put our freedoms first, realizing that if we give up these freedoms, then the terrorists will win. Of course, we are only talking about the right to bear arms. The right to freely assemble, be secure in our own papers, to have a speedy trial, and not be placed in double jeopardy, are just quaint remnants of an old piece of paper.

Since we are standing up for the terrorists’ right to have guns, I would like to bring to your attention other groups egregiously denied the right to bear arms.

I have a friend, let’s call him Jack. His real name is Chris Brown, but I promised I would not use his real name in this letter to protect his identity. Jack was accused of beating his girlfriend recently. Well, it wasn’t so much a beating as an all out assault. It was pretty bad. I mean he really went to town on that woman. It was just sad.

But other than that one beating (and a couple of other ones no one knows about yet), Jack is a really nice guy. In fact, if he isn’t drinking and beating on women, he is about the nicest guy you could be around.

Anyway, just because he got caught this one time wailing on his girl, he is now being denied the right to buy a gun, like some common criminal. I mean if some guy who wants to blow up a plane or poison our water supply can get a gun, why can’t Jack?

I have another friend, or rather I had another friend, who unfortunately would be denied to purchase a firearm. That is, he would be denied if he weren’t dead. Dead people can’t buy guns, yet, can they? Anyway, we’ll call him Cho, well, because that’s was his real name, and he can’t bitch about my using it since he’s dead and all.

Anyway, Seung-Hui was the nicest and cutest little thing you ever did see. If Blanca must confess, she has a thing for the Asians. I guess you could say I have yellow fever. Why else do you think I hang out with my puki pal, Michelle Malkin? It certainly isn’t for the stimulating conversation. I figure if I hang out with an Asia type long enough, a couple of guys of the Asian persuasion may happen on by. I don’t know what it is about Asian men. Maybe it’s their black hair, maybe it’s their rich culture, or maybe it’s just the way they always look like they are having an orgasm. Oh, I think I just turned a little Japanese there thinking about it.

But I digress. Little Cho would be denied a gun by today’s laws in Virginia, which is where he lived, just because he had been receiving mental therapy. Just because someone has been insane in the past, does not mean they are insane now, and any stay in a mental institution or prescription of antidepressants should not preclude them from purchasing a firearm. Keeping people from buying guns just because they have a history of mental illness would be like barring someone from buying a gun or explosives just because they are suspected of having terrorist ties. That’s just wrong.

Finally, I have another friend who is not permitted to own a gun, simply because he “killed” a couple of people a couple of years ago. He has paid his debt to society, but he is still not allowed to legally purchase a Saturday Night Special. Just because he killed once before, does not mean he will kill again. He won’t, I promise. I know OJ is better than that. Keeping my friend from owning a weapon would be like forcing sex offenders to get registered with the police once they are set free or having parolees regularly check in with their parole officers. It’s just crazy.

Please see what you can do to help my friends. Too many people for too long have been kept from buying guns. Remember, guns don't kill people, crazy unhinged people with guns kill people.

Sincerely,

Blanca DeBree
