</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The US has at least 85 major manufacturers of guns compared to just a handful in most other countries.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So it is greed. Greed drives gun sales and it drives the US to be the military arsenal of the world. In my opinion, war is shifting to drones and planes so gun manufacturers
are targeting a new audience, consumers! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Regarding the military arsenal of the world. Who is the US’s number one customer? Saudi Arabia, who regularly bombs innocents in Yemen and fuels the wars in the middle east.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Face it, guns and war are big business and the US of A is the arsenal of the world.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Some statistics:<br>
<br>
US population 321 million<br>
Number of guns in the US 300 million (approx.)<br>
% of Americans owning guns 34%, or about 110 million<br>
% of Americans not owning guns 66%, or about 212 million<br>
Number NRA members 5 million (approx.), or about 1.5% of the population and 4.5% of gun owners.<br>
<br>
No how can an organization representing 1.5% of the population, and less than 5% of the gun owners, control the elected government of (all of) the people?<br>

Just wondering...<br>
