In Wake Of 18 Murdered In Yet Another Mass Shooting, NRA-Funded Federal Agency Trains Children To Shoot Guns
In Wake Of 18 Murdered In Yet Another Mass Shooting, NRA-Funded Federal Agency Trains Children To Shoot Guns
The mass shooting last month in Maine — perpetrated by an Army reservist allowed to keep his guns reportedly bought days before he underwent psychiatric evaluations due to his erratic behavio…
You're viewing part of a thread.
Really? You're unable to find the correlation between this article, which talks about a school shooting, and the NRA, which has repeatedly resisted gun control efforts at every step of the way, to ridiculous degrees.
You use this word correlation but I don’t think it means what you think it means. What kind of direct correlation is there between the NRA and school shootings? Please give specific examples of NRA funded or trained shooters.
Sure, the NRA offering gun safety lessons is laudable, but in the context of also being the single organisation most obstructive of gun law reform, even when gun laws as they currently stand make such incidents ridiculously easy to commit, it doesn't exactly wash the blood off the NRA's hands. It's like lauding Hitler for building the autobahn avd ignoring all the other things he did.
Once again you’ve deliberately chosen to gloss over the fact that the classes the NRA provides are for the public good so you can push your anti-2A agenda. Normally I would stop reading when an individual cites Hitler in any debate. It is lazy, low IQ and diminishes the crimes that Hitler perpetrated on humanity. But I’ll make an exception in this case.
_The US constitution dies not grant an unlimited and absolute right to bear arms. There are plenty of guns and other weaponry that you are not allowed to own as a civilian, and plenty of other restrictions such as red flag laws, and licensing programs such as open carry permits.
Why would a general firearms license not fall under that purview?_
There are many standing laws on the books that violate the 2A. Fortunately there have been a number of cases rolling back these infringements on our collective rights.
Below are a few examples:
VanderStok v. Garland. Mock b. Garland. NYSRPA v. Bruen District of Columbia v. Heller McDonald v. Chicago
Just because a law is on the books does not make it unconstitutional. The same can be said for Jim Crow laws, antigay, sodomy, and antitrans laws that have been on the books for decades.
You use this word correlation but I don’t think it means what you think it means. What kind of direct correlation is there between the NRA and school shootings? Please give specific examples of NRA funded or trained shooters.
I've just spelled out the correlation, it's not my fault you're incapable or unwilling to read.
Let me dumb it down so that everyone can understand:
-
school shooter goes on a rampage with an easily acquired gun.
-
understandable national outrage occurs, talks about new gun laws start taking place
-
right wing organisations, most prominently the NRA, lobby against these laws and try to turn public attention against them through barefaced lies (eg: blame on videogames, media, and espousal of a bunch of theories that are either proven bunk such as 'good guy with a gun' or plain don't apply ('good guy with a gun' in a school setting, where the good guy with a gun simply isn't there, are too few in number and skills to contain the situation, or would simply be mistaken for a hostile actor by other good guys with guns.))
-
proposed fixes get delayed or scrapped
-
thoughts and prayers but no real action
-
go to step 1 and repeat thousands of times over.
Most other countries got off this shitshow ride the first or second time this happened. The US is the only first world country where this still happens, because they don't put in gun control, and literal murder machines can be bought as easily as a games console.
There are many standing laws on the books that violate the 2A. Fortunately there have been a number of cases rolling back these infringements on our collective rights.
And the result is more bloodshed. How is that fortunate?
Go back and read the 2A again. All of it. Notice something peculiar? The 2A explicitly states that it exists in light of the fact that armed individuals were a necessity for national security. It was written back when the US didn't have a standing military or police force. Now that it does, there's a pretty strong argument that the 2A, as written, should no longer apply.
Your deductive reasoning is… special. I think you and this guy would get along great.

As for the 2A, you might be in a rush to give up your rights. Millions of us who exercise our rights daily don’t agree with your flawed assumptions about a society 200 years ago. The 2A is as valid now as it was then.
Your deductive reasoning is… special
Says the person who is totally okay with letting literally everyone have firearms.
Millions of us who exercise our rights daily don’t agree with your flawed assumptions about a society 200 years ago.
And there are hundreds of millions more of us that stare at the US in utter shock and disbelief when this happens.
You see, I don't live in the US. Because of that, I don't have to worry about gun violence. Because of that, our schools don't have shooter drills and are kids aren't forced to adopt war mindframes.
Like I said, we nipped it in the bud here the first couple of times it happened.
We nipped it in the bud with gun control. And it worked.
As for the 2A, you might be in a rush to give up your rights.
What rights? You mean like our right to safety? Our right to life?
Because in America, that's all sold up river because people like you who don't want to be inconvenienced by a bit of fucking paperwork.
Yes, you read that right, 'gun control' doesn't mean 'gun ban'. Even in the UK, you can legally get firearms. You just need a license, and for that you need firearms training and a valid reason, such as pest control on a farm.
You see, I don't live in the US.
Lol that’s all you had to say homie. Eat shit and die in whatever commie hell hole you call home. Your opinion means nothing to me.
Lol touch grass bro. Why don't you get yourself a passport and travel some? You might learn a lot.
