Is there any difference between a maggot infestation and the NRA after a mass shooting? [View all]

Both show up to feast where ever there is death, while the corpses are still warm.

Both are an excellent bait food. For fish. For Congress.

No, I guess there isn't much difference between the two.

Well, maggots can serve useful purposes. The NRA, umm... nothing comes to mind. Thor_MN Oct 2015 #1

Stop insulting maggots. Vinca Oct 2015 #2
Maggots are not insulted, they just just looking for the next meal nolabels Oct 2015 #58
As many people pointed out to me, maggots are more honest creatures than the NRA whereisjustice Oct 2015 #104
All things considered though, it would seem to me that maggots would be on the side of the NRA nolabels Oct 2015 #120
A maggot might find it hard to pull a trigger, but perhaps NRA would build a gun so dangerous whereisjustice Oct 2015 #122
Somehow it all kind of makes sense to me that a maggot would want to pull the trigger nolabels Oct 2015 #124
Would you care to actually cite the NRA's comments about the Oregon shooting? branford Oct 2015 #3
I'll take that as a no. whereisjustice Oct 2015 #4
I'll take that as you're advancing nothing but strawman arguments, branford Oct 2015 #6
Yep, that's a no. whereisjustice Oct 2015 #7

I'm not really trying to defend NRA policies, branford Oct 2015 #19
NRA-ILA is the NRA. Gormy Cuss Oct 2015 #21
The divide is legal and quite meaningful. branford Oct 2015 #30
That the divide is legal doesn't mean much. Gormy Cuss Oct 2015 #31
Both the NRA and NRA-ILA have the absolute right to promote virtually whatever they want branford Oct 2015 #33
I'll take that as you have been pushing a lie for the past couple of days, GGJohn Oct 2015 #24
When they get around to figuring out what to say -- as NRA did after Sandy Hook -- it will be fear, Hoyt Oct 2015 #8
So, even you cannot find any statements by the NRA "feasting over the dead" in Oregon. branford Oct 2015 #12
Oh, there are plenty of vidoes of NRA's press conference after Sandy Hook. Then NRA Prez Keene, Hoyt Oct 2015 #14
I'll try this yet again. branford Oct 2015 #15
This is not a deposition, Counselor. You have to defend/apologize for gunz differently on a forum Hoyt Oct 2015 #18
