We Have To Strike Back At NRA Apologists Even If It Get Personal. Because It Is Personal.

To me it does not matter if we get personal against NRA apologists no matter who they. If it gets dirty and personal so be it. They are more than ready to hit below the belt. Mr. Hogg is doing what must be done. Just put it back in their face. Tell them directly to STFU they have no voice.

We simply cannot allow them to keep just pushing their memes out without retaliation. We have to seize control of the narrative even if it means being rude. Right to be safe overrules this gun buttery.

Real Americans are sick of NRA lies and murders. Every time anyone tries to defend the NRA in any way a red light goes off in my head that says: RUSSIAN FACTORY TROLL.

The RW tactic is to keep talking over the other person. You have to be ready to tell to SHUT UP right there. And you have to be mean and aggressive. To hell with manners.

And hit hard. No pulled punches. They enable the slaughter of our future...who among all the children slaughtered since Columbine would have found a one stop cure for cancer, world hunger, war, climate change, racism, sexism, to name a few things that destroy the human race, daily and continously?

If they passed bills that stopped their police departments from buying arms from those who pay or in any way associate themselves with the nra. That's where our bite back begins, go after their funding.

Completely correct. It's time for lawmakers to do what needs to be done.

We must outlaw all weapons, there is no use for any rifle or handgun in this day and age....Even for the hunting excuse. There is no reason to need to hunt for food and if you need it sooo bad, grow vegetables. So don't give me the "but people would starve without those guns" BS, cause it's not true.

Then we must go and confiscate all firearms. Yes some will resist and those who do will be dealt with through incarceration. Give a grace window of 1yr for people to turn in firearms, then implement a tell hotline so anyone can call and identify gun humpers. Those called on will have a nice visit from the police and then have their guns confiscated, and be made a felon.

If people begin to resist the idea of turning over the guns "my cold dead hands types", well we may need to use the military or national guard, but one way or another we need to get guns off the streets.

The only way to ensure the safety of American citizens is by removing weapons, and this means banning and nation wide confiscation program.

Because I take a hard line on we must remove guns?

It's not trolling, its conviction, its anger at seeing mass murder after mass murder, day after day in this nation thats supposed to be the greatest nation on earth.

We are all held to the whim of some random gun humper who decides "todays the day I'm going to kill 50-100 people". No other nation has the issues we have, and because of the volume of guns on the streets there is only one way to fix it.

like extremist positions almost always are, it'd be untenable.

You really need to understand, America is a democratic republic. You know, "government of, by and for the people"?

Every 2 years Americans have the opportunity for revolution, to restack their government to suit them better. Most people want to be able to bear arms, even though "only" 1 in 4 households is currently believed to be armed. Take them away, and they'll take you out.

I say "you," because the "we" in your authoritarian, absolutist fantasy would not include me. I'm not stupid enough to create a catalyst for yet another conservative takeover of government. But wouldn't LaPierre love it if people like me were.

Confiscating all guns means no well regulated militias. That's contrary to the 2nd amendment.

You have to balance the right to bear arms for well regulated militias with public safety.

Thats my troll response to a troll post.

15. Hit Their Strength

Karl Rove, G.W. Bush's "Turd Bloosom" advocated hitting his enemies strength. The strategy was used with deadly effect against John Kerry an American war hero in 2004.

Don't play patty cakes with these NRA advocates. Kick 'em in the balls, hit them when their down, show courage, be unforgiving, shame them, never stop!

Tue Feb 27, 2018, 12:19 PM

and universal background checks.

The AR-15 type weapon is designed for military use and killing lots of people very quickly, not hunting or any legitimate purpose.

You don't need any skills to use it effectively. You don't need a direct shot to a vital organ to kill. The bullets are high velocity and explodes and ricochets in the body causing mass internal bleeding. It overwhelms law enforcement on the scene.
No other legal gun does this.

NRA members know this, and the NRA leadership look like psychopaths when they defend the AR-15 specifically. Profit at the cost of dead kids and children living in fear.

Now you're screwing with momma bear and she will bite your head off Mr. LaPierre.

I haven't gotten any resistance in social media when I focus like this.
