    The government department that contracted this company for the site, are they allowed to use any criteria other than the contract bid amount to decide who to go with? Are they required to go with the lowest bidder, or are they allowed to look at the company history when deciding who to hire?

    Disclaimer: I do not know for a fact that this is their line of thinking, but I would not put it past them.

    If there are more insane maniacs out there with guns, people will feel less safe, and more inclined to buy a gun of their own.

    Lets get something straight. The NRA doesn't give a damn about you. They are not an organization that represents gun owners. They represent gun manufacturers and sellers. 75% of NRA members are in favor of common sense gun restrictions, like background checks to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill and unstable. The NRA fought against it because it would hurt the bottom line of the only people they care about supporting.

    If you support the NRA, you are a dupe and you are being used by people who don't care if you live or die as long as they make a profit, pure and simple.

    I have no problem with guns as long as they are used responsibly, and I support people's right to defend themselves against crime, but take a close look at where your loyalties are.

    Yes. Lets follow the vague wording of people who have been dead for 200 years.

    Rights are not granted by a creator, regardless of what the Founding Fathers felt that they needed to pay lip service to. They are granted by society. Rights are an entirely social construct, just like good, evil, and anything else having to do with morality.
