THE NRA

1. What does the NRA have to do with this

oh yeah I forgot, bad NRA, no cookie.

[Chorophyll]

4. Money from the NRA has effectively made our elected representatives silent on gun control

ever since Reagan got shot. That goes for both parties.

So yeah, no cookie.

[pipoman]

5. Loosing elections in the vein of 1994,

and constituent wishes has nothing to do with it, eh? No, in almost every state voters have voted liberalization of gun laws.

11. poor baby

all this anti gun talk is really getting to ya eh ?

itll be okay. go rub it nice and clean and tell it daddy will never leave it.

hope we dont push you too far and irrational thoughts of playing God enter your head!

btw, i could care less whether or not you own a gun. personally, i think shooting targets is super fun.

that being said,
nothing tickles me more than watching someone like you whine and cry (in tons of posts) about an material object that isnt alive.. when there are so many problems in this country and world of ours involving things that are actually breathing.

i hope you put as much effort into other causes as you do your right to own a piece of metal that projects other pieces of metal.

2. It is time for the NRA to have its comeuppance. n/t

[onehandle]

3. The National Republican Association just makes more money with each mass gun killing.

People die. Out go the 'they're gonna git yer guns' letters and emails.

Pure profit.

6. To which I add the prefix:

"FUCK"

You're welcome.

8. The NRA called me a couple of days before the shooting in Colorado.

It was a robo call, so I just laid the phone down next to the BIG speakers and turned up Country Joe and the Fish. I didn't want to hear some "damned French guy"...

7. The NRA proper

has nothing to do with political lobbying, they are an educational organization. The NRA-ILA is a political lobbying group.

The NRA has likely saved more lives and educated more people on firearms safety than any other organization on the planet. The NRA has endorsed/supported nearly every new restriction enacted on firearms in the last 80 years.

It's nice to have a boogie man when bad things happen. For me it is the complete failure of our healthcare system, specifically, mental health services. I believe no availability of mental health and addiction services are responsible for more murders every year than any other fixable cause.

9. What an excellent reply - you are to be congratulated.

I personally think that alcohol has caused more deaths in this country than any other cause. Shootings, stabbings, people beat to death, auto accidents, airplane accidents, and just pure plain stupidity can all be attributed to alcohol use. It is clearly the most dangerous substance known to man, it has killed far far more people world-wide than anything else we have ever come up with, with the possible exception of oil and cordite.

13. I agree

alcohol kills more people by far than any other cause..but alcohol isn't the biggest contributor to murders...I would guess drugs (+addiction) and ,mental health issues (depression, aniexiety, and other mental disorders to be the biggest contributor to murders...I could be wrong..

[Fumesucker]

14. Don't listen to him, it's the liquor talking..

He's a mean drunk.

Barroom brawl.

Ten feet tall and bulletproof.

The vernacular is full of language that indicates alcohol incites violence.

Like Lynyrd Skynyrd's lyrics from Saturday Night Special..

If you like to drink your whiskey, you might even shoot yourself..

[madokie]

10. And where did you get this information

NRA website maybe
I don't buy what you're selling, sorry

[pipoman]

12. What part are you saying isn't true?

[young_at_heart]

15. The NRA Bragged that "they'll work out of President GW Bush's Oval Office"

I'll never forget that chilling statement----it doesn't seem to have mattered to anyone!
