   No, it is not a real good thing.

   One line insults are fun but accomplish nothing.

   Pedaphile priests, and murderous NRA members both exist and are a problem that should be faced, not trivialized.

   Yep, that about sums it up.

   I have nothing against hunters or sport shooters or guns in general. I do have a thing against military style weapons being available to anyone in the population. The distinction between full auto and semi-auto is a difference not worth counting. If it takes you a 100 bullets to bring down that white-tail, well, maybe hunting isn’t your sport. Take up racquet ball.

   I’d think…..‘sponsored by the NRA’ would be far more appropriate.

   Well Said, Darsan54. Listening to the gunshots during deer season, it seems to bear out your post too. Lots of hunters need to take up a different “Sport”.

   “Pedaphile priests, and murderous NRA members both exist and are a problem that should be faced, not trivialized.”

   And I would contend that it is a very small percentage of both as compared to the whole. The NRA and it’s members are a convenient target and inflame people into emotional rants. I posted on another board about categorizing me and literally millions of law abiding NRA members as cowards, murderers, criminals and generally evil people. We are also the veterans who defended you, police that protect you, doctors and dentists that care for you, and whole families that are not guilty or deserving of this evil mantle being hung on the organization in general.

   “Just correcting the record!”

   You may be technically correct, but then it just falls into a whole other list of child abuse statutes. Fact of life, there will always be people who will take advantage of a “trusting environment,” whether it be schools, churches, day care centers etc. I sometimes think we give the Romans a run for their money when it comes to decadence…

    Not the whole NRA, but certainly represents La PIerre, and the highly paid “management” of the organization. Their insane insistence on NO regulation of weapons with insane “kill capacity”, is NOT what the Second Amendment is about. Neither is their ludicrous claim that the amendment is about folks having the power to rise against the government in armed conflict. How would the TEA party and other nut folks do against the United States Marines who ARE sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America?

    Nice one! Your prejudices are barely showing there!

    Actually, the term you are looking for is ephebophilia. Or would have been if the predation had been limited only to adolescent boys. Of course it wasn’t, no matter how hard you would prefer it to be… boy or girls, prepubescent or not, the cases have been as varied as the predators. For many, it was more a question of opportunity than anything else.

    And that’s where the parallel between the NRA and the church comes through again. Because if not all churchmen were predators, they all were part of a conspiracy of silence to protect them, be it actively or passively. In the same way the NRA will always protect the situations that give rise to those kind of mass-murderers, because the lives of 6-years old will always be trumped by the right of fearful or sick people to own enough firepower to lay waste to a neighborhood because, you know… freedom!

    Slander. No facts, no evidence, no proof. The NRA would not have accepted a mental patient, and the man couldn’t have legally obtained a carry permit. He stole, murdered, then suicided when he heard the sirens coming. The ‘Assault Weapons’ ban in effect in Connecticut didn’t stop him. An armed teacher could have.

    Look at the posts and you will see why there isn’t any meaningful dialoge between gun owners and the anti-gunners. Each will not give any ground in fear that the other will take this as weakness in its position. There could be a lot accomplished if both sides put aside the venom, the mad-dog rabid accusations and started a meaningful dialog.
    Go look at this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_attacks_in_China_(2010%E2%80%932011) and you will see that violence on children isn’t limited to just guns. I saw one attack that was caught on camera of the knife welding murdering chasing the children.
    This editoral cartoon is wrong on so many levels that it must relect a sick mind that would even draw it or think it. This smacks of a communists’ ideal of no guns.
    This Adam Lanza was mentally ill and could never have been allowed to be a member of the NRA. His mother has to share a lot of the blame for not keeping the arms under lock and key with the key hidden. So many other examples could be given too as with drinking and driving but wheres the outrage there?
    This is a case of so many pompas a**es thinking everyone who owns a gun is a nut.
    DTROUTMA doesn’t know his history very well either The first ten amendments to the Constitution deals with protecting freedoms against an oppressing government. These were put there to prevent the U.S. Government from ever doing what King George III had done to the colonists. Part of that oath he ‘quotes’ also includes protecting the Constitution from enemies from WITHIN and without. I know, I took that oath. How would patroits fair? Quite well as many former servicemen belong to the NRA also.
    Even with our superior firepower, we have problems winning in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    It seems to me that GWB also swore a similar oath and yet claimed the Constitution is just a dog-dammed piece of paper; then he proceeded to nullify portions of it by declaring that “national security” required trampling civil rights. Where does one draw the line?

    I heard that BHO will give up the armed Secret Service protection for Sasha and Malia… just like every other child in the USA…
