    If only the NRA had headquarters off shore, that could happen. But the military is not allowed to do anything inside the borders of the USA. Territories and emergencies excepted.

    The NRA’s Murder MysteryOne court sent him to prison for shooting a woman. Another set him free over bad police work. Was the NRA’s top lawyer railroaded—or a “bad guy with a gun”?

    Wayne LaPierre got an A-4 deferment for the draft. and A-3 deferment is for medical conditions(physical) and A-4 is also a medical condition but it is for (mental) just like Ted Nugent received. stating they were mentally unstable. Wayne LaPierre draft card was #97 because he was born 1948 that would have draft card number #97. And it was called. Wayne got his family doctor to diagnose him with a “nervous disorder/condition” It does not specify exactly what his nervous disorder/condition was. But in order to get that deferment you had to be really mentally messed up for the Army to say “Thanks, but no thanks”.

    NRA our own domestic terror cheer leaders constantly support the GOP.

    If you want the madness to end, stop voting Republican.

    I live in Arlington, Virginia and frequently drive by NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, either on Waples Mill Road where it is actually located or on nearby Interstate Rt. 66 over which it prominently and ominously looms.

    I do not own a gun of any kind — I have gotten through nearly 3/4ths of a century of life without one, I don’t need one, and I don’t want one — but when I see that building there I almost wish I had one so I could shoot a few of their black windows out.

    Sort of to teach them a lesson.

    The actually pay you for this drivel? Get a real job and read about the stuff the NRA stands and lobbies for and not the tripe you hear in the MSM.

    “…and read about the stuff the NRA stands and lobbies for…”as VORPAL7 says. As I always say, don’t pay ANY attention to their words; observe their deeds, where their money and their political support is placed. The N.R.A. and the Chamber of Commerce are the same – on the local level, they support and help their communities; in both cases the national organization and local organizations are ENTIRELY different animals and serve entirely different masters! To reiterate, to my mind the very best light that can be shown on the National Rifle Association is that they are Domestic Terror Enablers! And I personally believe that Wayne LaPierre should be put against a wall and shot – with a rifle of his own choosing, of course! And, after that, we can hold a trial and decide just HOW guilty he was. But that’s just my former republicanism shining through. Sorry ‘bout that! I’m a democrat, now, and I should be above that, now! (Rats!)

    For those who claim “outlaws won’t follow gun laws” – you have just made the case for NO LAWS WHATSOEVER.

    I don’t usually say this sort of thing, but that is an absolutely idiotic assertion even if there were no data saying otherwise. AND THERE IS.

    We are the ONLY nation in the world with this kind of gun problem. Different countries with different laws don’t have this problem. Period.

    Here’s what Second Amendment absolutists are saying, and I’d appreciate it if someone admitted it: “I believe that the absolute and unfettered access to firearms is worth the tens of thousands (33,000 annually) of Americans who die unnecessarily due to this right. I believe that, despite the exact wording of the Second Amendment, that any American, whether mentally disabled, insane, or even a terrorist, should have the right to any weapon he or she wants.” JUST ADMIT IT ALREADY!

    And it is the argument they want it seems. Only no Republican would be in the same building with anyone not their body guard with guns.

    Time to go big, folks:

    Bret Stephens, NYTimes-

    In fact, the more closely one looks at what passes for “common sense” gun laws, the more feckless they appear. Americans who claim to be outraged by gun crimes should want to do something more than tinker at the margins of a legal regime that most of the developed world rightly considers nuts. They should want to change it fundamentally and permanently.

    There is only one way to do this: Repeal the Second Amendment.

    Repealing the Amendment may seem like political Mission Impossible today, but in the era of same-sex marriage it’s worth recalling that most great causes begin as improbable ones. Gun ownership should never be outlawed, just as it isn’t outlawed in Britain or Australia. But it doesn’t need a blanket Constitutional protection, either. The 46,445 murder victims killed by gunfire in the United States between 2012 and 2016 didn’t need to perish so that gun enthusiasts can go on fantasizing that “Red Dawn” is the fate that soon awaits us.

    “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

    Make every person with a gun a part of the American Militia and regulate them.

    OLDCAT, ALL of the guns that end up in the hands of criminals started out legally. Then straw-buyers get them in a state like Indiana where regulations are lax, and these make up the majority of the guns that get to gangs in Chicago. Other guns end up with criminals because they are stolen.

    .Military-style weapons should NOT be legal EVER. Bump stocks have been legal to convert these to automatic weapons. Why did so many people need to die before the NRA finally admitted that ATF should “regulate” (note not ELIMINATE).

    .Repubs want to pass a bill to make silencers legal and allow looser regulations for armor-piercing bullets. So if this goes through, add it to the problems I described in my first paragraph.
