Funded by the Russians!

Shell-shocked students deserve a good education.

Maybe if civics where still part of the core courses, they’d learn how the issue could be dealt with to make the public safe AND preserve rights?

No civics, no grammar, no cursive..Looks like I’ll be checking out at just about the right time….

More guns will save us from people with guns.

@ImOffendedTreatMeSpecial “Name just one shooter who was an NRA member”

Timothy McVeigh

The NRA is a terrorist operation aiding and abetting the killing American children! concealedcarrykillers.org

One nation hiding under their desk when the next school shooting happens (every other day) and the president does nothing because Republicans don’t care that our children are getting shot at school. Their right to their penial-replacement is more important that the life of a child. It isn’t as if it were in a womb.

There are no records kept of a shooter’s NRA affiliations. It’s simply an ignored statistic. www.salon.com/2017/10/03/the-national-rifle-associations-mass-shooting-hypocrisy_partner/

NRA membership isn’t the point. It’s about enabling,

NRA- America’s LARGEST and DEADLIEST Home-Grown Terrorist Organization. PERIOD.

One of the NRA’s bedrock principles is that even discussion of reducing gun violence is exactly the same as total confiscation of all guns.

They are only concerned with sowing the cult of fear in the guise of a misreading of an amendment. They will oppose all reasonable legislation of guns no matter the cost in American lives.

Who is Shoppersmiths? Is he a new troll or simply a renamed one?I don’t read conservative cartoonists. There’s no sense in lambasting them or their readers.

Nice Shiny Object, IMOFFENDED.

The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin [Alexander Torshin] illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.

@ImOffendedTreatMeSpecial The Nazi Republican Army is only interested in the proliferation of guns. Their special clients SELL guns. Sort of like the civilian arm of the Military Industrial Complex Eisenhower warned us of. They own a large portion of ourgovernment. The rest is self evident.

OMG, guns!One nation, under Marlboro… or McDonald’s… or…

A dozen people died thanks to guns. 35 thanks to booze. 178 thanks to drugs. The 1761 of heart disease; primarily fatty\junk food but have some overlap with the cigarettes causing the 10,959 of lung disease.137 successfully defended themselves with firearms. (50k annually is the low estimate)

Guns, cars, booze, pills, Big Macs, smokes. All “easily preventable“. None of which do anything to preserve people’s lives, safety or security.

Most gun owners (approximately 75% – I cannot recall the exact figure) want extensive background checks but the NRA opposes them.

Almost everyone who buys a gun says that they are buying it for “self defense.” Less than 2% of shootings are in self-defense.

US GUN DEATHS: www.nytimes.com/2017/11/04/us/gun-death-rates.html

the NRA “supports” background checks in their front, but fights all regulation in their choices for funding. Btw, only a small percentage of gun owners are NRA members. The number of mass killers who’ve supported by their actions, like in Las Vegas, the NRA position on regulations, is about 100%.

shouldn’t that be… Under the Kochs & Mercers et. al.?

Moxie, you wrote: “How many shooting deaths a year? 4,400.” Sorry it closer to 35,000 and the number has been steadily climbing. Guns related deaths have almost caught up with vehicle deaths and will surpass them in a year or two if the tread continues. Amazing when you compare the number of miles driven and the amount of time spent behind the wheel. If vehicle deaths were compared to gun deaths based on average miles driven per year times number of vehicles in the US, the number of vehicle deaths we should see a 25 times as many vehicle deaths. We don’t.
