the nra is not the responsible party behind illegal firearms possession any more than ford or chevy are at fault for speeders and red light runners, persons who have a direct disregard for the law, disregard for public safety and a bent moral compass are solely responsible for their actions, a social culture (for lack of a better name) is not responsible for a individuals actions, the lynch mob mentality is whats sadly pathetic, just because one is charged with a crime doesnt mean one is guilty of a crime. in closing i suggest reading the AK. state statutes on firearms as then you will learn that not all cases of a "felon in possession" of a firearm are crimes. a felon may possess a firearm legally in alaska  as long as certain criteria is met,  if one helps to teach tolerance and not violence you wouldnt need to lock everyone up and  throw away the key, maybe........ you all have had a lot to say but other than point fingers what are you doing to help bring change to anchorage ?
