NRA is striking out against the 1st amendment that has shielded them from their daily hate speech and periodic calls for insurrection, so now the NRA now lies about their support for background checks and most anything else that does not fit their crazy agenda of More Guns.
"Those moves, (corporate disentanglement from NRA propaganda) prompted Saturday's response from the NRA, which asserted that those corporations had decided to punish NRA membership in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice.
Get it? 1st amendment rights being exceeded is shameful and cowardly...the victims are actors and media pawns, but exercising 2nd amendment rights to blow away these same kids with the preferred gun of kid killers, AnyKidKiller15, is protected by both amendments! Deplorablity on steroids.
Remember, the NRAvigorouslyy opposed ANY background checks and now sheds crocodile tears over a failure of a background check system they considered unconstitutional.
The law-abiding members of the NRA had nothing at all to do with the failure of that schools security preparedness, the failure of Americas mental health system, the failure of the National Instant Check System or the cruel failures of both federal and local law enforcement, the NRA statement said.
Federal law requires all federally licensed firearms dealers to conduct a background check on prospective gun buyers before the sale of a firearm. The NRA opposed any such checks on a federal basis.
However, the Washington Post reported that the NRA fought the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which mandated federal background checks on firearm purchasers, suing the federal government once the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) was up and running. The NRA had argued that the entire law, including the NICS provision, be struck down as unconstitutional, the report said."
Quotes from Foxxx article....even they can see that the NRA is now radioactive.
Now it is a voluntary reporting by states, and half the states provide little to no information.
The NRA has blood on its hands, so much blood now they can not wash it away with the usual insane arguments and hate speech.
We are not coming for your guns, but we are coming for our regulations...like it says in the first two words of the 2nd you detest SO much you erased it from the inscription on your national HQ!
Enough said about what you really care about the 2nd...versus lining your own pocketbooks.

To hell with the NRA.

(3,564 posts)It's all about selling guns. That's all the NRA is about, selling more guns forever. I would guess there are more guns in the US now than at the time of Columbine. Do you feel safer?

(34,661 posts)Something worth questioning. That is Broward Counties Sherriff 's Association to and with Roger Stone. Understand Stone has Family Members now employed in the Sherriff's Department . Something smells to high hell with that. Thirty plus calls dealing with the Shooter and his Societal issues.
Smelling a Cover up. Did Stone try to spin this? Did Stone Call Trump with blame the FBI?

Citizens don't need an electromagnetic rail gun, that can shoot an explosive projectile at Mach 7, for home defense, just as they shouldn't be able to purchase assault weapons.
It's common sense.

Two things that have emerged from the debates this week about gun violence from our President and the ruling Party:
1) Gun free zones are a stupid idea that is patently dangerous and makes the location inviting to gun violence, and,
2) The Democrats/Liberals/Elites only use the gun issue for political purposes.
Here is a proposal to remove any hint of hypocrisy and bullshit from their narrative:
Have the NRA and GOP headquarters, as well as any conferences or gatherings of those two groups, post signs at every entrance that say "CONCEALED AND OPEN CARRY OF FIREARMS ENCOURAGED AT THIS LOCATION."
That would clearly make the venues safer, and protect them from armed assaults by the mentally ill, ISIS, liberals or George Soros. And it would show that they, unlike their opponents, have a position of philosophical consistency and not political expediency.

(64 posts)Wasn't there recent news about how Russia funneled millions to candidates through the NRA? If true, why aren't we still hammering the NRA as traitors? Shouldn't we raise that every time they resurface?

(24,396 posts)Since they also keep yelling "We have enough laws on the books, let's enforce the laws we have," let's also remind folks how the POLITICANS they OWN have repeatedly and deeply SLASHED budgets for that enforcement!! And every event of mass shooting from Columbine forward to date has been the result.
