Blaming the NRA for any gun violence is like blaming AAA for drunk drivers.

Well, we should definitely ban all trucks that contain explosives. And other things that contain explosives. Oh, wait a sec.

That is a false equivalency. AAA does not advocate the repeal of drunk driving laws.

I Don’t think any rational person wants to ban ALL guns.
Banning Military style high capacity clips, automatic and semi-automatic weapons might be about the equivalent to banning military style vehicles from private ownership.
How many people in your neighborhood drive an M1-A1 Abrams tank to work, or to the drive through at the
McDonald’s?
How many people with a regular pilot’s license have a F-16 sitting in the hanger?
Why don’t people complain about THAT?

So funny how the cowardly NRA gun nuts are whining about losing their guns. The saying about America being the home of the brave only refers to us Liberals who don’t own guns because we are the only brave ones left.

Talk about false equivalency…but OK.
Answer me thins. At what point is a semi-automatic gun not put on the “banned” list? I have a shotgun that is semi automatic. You want to ban it? I have a .22 that is semi- automatic, ban it too? I have a pistol that is semi-automatic, banned?
Now I take some pride in the fact that I hit what I shoot at – 95% of the time – so having 30 rounds at my disposal is not “necessary” but it would be “convenient” to not have to reload magazines all the time. Oh yeah that’s right I have 5 10 round magazines so I don’t…LOL.
Really, dude, the equipment is not the problem.

In any organization the moderates need to rein in the radicals, the NRA is no different.
