Nukes don't kill people

It is rumored that the NRA is getting ready to launch a campaign in opposition to the President's policy towards Iran. It is suggested that some members feel that Iran should be able to have nuclear weapons if it wants them

The reasoning goes like this. Guns don't kill. People kill. We allow people to carry their guns into places where liquor is served for an obvious reason. Most fights begin when men have been drinking, so a bar is precisely the place where a freedom loving gun owner is most likely to need to defend himself. A citizen who carries his AK47 into the neighborhood bar will be able to drink in peace.

Similarly some NRA members reason that Nuclear Bombs don't kill. People who fire them kill. The Iranian leadership is just as rational as drunken Americans, quite similar in fact. So letting the Iranians have nuclear weapons is in principle no worse than letting drunken people have guns.

I hope this rumor is true. It would show real consistency in defense of the right to bear arms.
