BBC reporter’s sobering advice to America: ‘Break & Dismantle' NRA or mass shootings will never stop

“Obama has said this is not normal, this shouldn’t be considered as normal,” she explained. “And Hillary Clinton has said the same thing. And on her presidential campaign, gun control is actually one of the key things she’s looking at.”

Nawaz observed that Clinton was unlikely to put in place new gun safety measures because Congress would block her.

“The thing that everyone points to is the Second Amendment,” Currie said. “But the Second Amendment was set up in 1789. That was a different world then and something needs to be done about this.”

Heslehurst revealed his own “staggering” statistics: “In the last 43 years, more Americans have been shot by another American — shot and killed by another American — than all of America’s soldiers killed in wars in the last 240 years.”

“And you go where’s the priority?” he asked. “You talk about Congress — NRA, right? If Clinton really wants to get serious, that’s what you have to try to break, dismantle.”

4. Unfortunately, the 1A "Right to Speak" Has Now Been so Thoroughly Corrupted

by the Citizens United "verdict," rooted in a faulty historical legal interpretation, that at least some serious revision to the current 1A rights is essential.

Our country cannot any longer operate on the basis that the financial health of the munitions industry and its' ability to buy the votes of and intimidate a large portion of Congress is more important than protection of public safety.
