And other people regained the liberty to keep their lives. Not that you care about a small thing like that.Look what happen in the UK and Australia. Those people lost their liberty over mindless knee jerk reactions to tragic events.
Clearly being a scumbag is a prerequisite for being an NRA board member.Longtime NRA Board MemberCharles Cotton is concerned gun control laws may actually pass in the wake of the Parkland, Florida high school massacre, and he's blaming the "sympathy factor of kids getting killed."
Marjory Stoneman Douglas student survivors have won the hearts of many across the nation, and have effectively countered the tired arguments of the NRA and gun advocates.
Cotton posted to a pro-gun message board, the Texas CHL Forum, responding to a member upset that bump stocks may actually get banned. Bump stocks are add on devices that effectively turn semi-automatic assault weapons into automatic weapons.
In a thread titled, "Can it be?: We may lose more gun rights under Trump than Obama?" just before midnight Monday Cotton wrote, "the reality is we could well see bump-stocks 'taken away' because the votes are probably there."
"Wake up people and see what's happening!!!! Bloomberg and Hollywood are pouring money into this effort and the media is helping to the fullest extent. We've never had this level of opposition before, not ever. It's a campaign of lies and distortion, but it's very well funded and they are playing on the sympathy factor of kids getting killed."
It's unclear what the "lies and distortion" are that Cotton claims.
He also told members the NRA needs to triple its membership to fight gun safety.
"If you really want to make a difference, then start recruiting NRA members every single day. The NRA better be 15 million strong soon, or this is only going to get worse."
Cotton is no stranger to controversy. In 2015 he said that physically disciplining a school-aged child by "paddling" them might stop him from “having to put a bullet in him later.”
Just months before that Cotton blamed the pastor of the Charleston church for his own murder by a white supremacist terrorist who killed nine bible study members.
Cotton, in addition to serving on the NRA's Board of Directors, also serves on the Board of Trustees of the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund.

The NRA claims it defends the 2nd amendment to 'pertect your purty mouth from the gubmint'.
It's past time to let these people go, start a new country in the old south called Bucktooth Batshitland, and they can pretend to be defending their territory from space aliens, bigfoot, muslims, gays, women, ferners, and the Teletubbies.
Hey idiots, no one needs your protection from anything. You need protection from too many jelly doughnuts.
No, they've lost their liberty to live in peace. Passing laws may well grant that liberty to others.Will passing laws bring them back?
Yet for all your unhinged frothing that hasn't happened. Any chance you may deal in reality one day?Britain banned guns....their crime rates have gone up, more rapes and violent robberies.....and once their criminals cross the line, their gun murder rates are going to go up as well....dittos for Australia....

You're a pussy like the other fakes, Like Lying Donald. I always let old men take the first swing, then it's on like donkey-kong. Maybe you need your gun with you. Of course I'll just take it off you and beat you with it.
Go play snowflake.

If laws should be passed based on reason, logic and statistics, not based on heat of the moment passions and emotions, then there should not have been laws rendering homosexuality illegal, or laws denying same-sex couples the right to marry, or laws compelling a woman to give birth against her will.That is precisely what I am getting at.The numbers may be small but the emotional effect isnt. No one freaks out over someone getting killed by a lawn mower. Its more a a curiosity. Kill a couple of kids and youre messing with a natural instinctive desire to protect.Youre missing the point. There are a lot of things that cause more deaths than shootings. The point is no one wants a school shooting to be the reason their child dies.You are unclear about the lies and distortion, really?
Why Are We Afraid of Being a Victim of a Mass Shooting?
Mass Shootings and the Fear of Being a Victim
"The lifetime risk of dying in a mass shooting is around 1 in 110,154 — about the same chance of dying from a dog attack or legal execution.
There is a three times greater chance of dying from a sharp object than from a mass shooting. The chance of dying from lightning, though, is lower.
In fact, there are many more likely ways to die than in a mass shooting.
Heart disease and cancer are at the top — the risk of dying is 1 in 7. And even dying in a motor vehicle crash is higher — 1 in 113."
<snip>
"The researchers suggest that seeing or hearing news related to an attack several hours a day might prolong the stress reaction triggered by the initial “collective trauma.”
It’s difficult to know the exact link between media coverage of an attack and people’s fears, but the content that people watch may matter.
“We do tend to see that people who have greater exposure to different types of news media, as well as people who view more crime dramas, tend to express higher levels of fear,” said Schafer, “but it’s not clear which is causing the other.”
People may develop anxiety from watching the news, or people who are anxious may watch the news in order to calm their worries.
News media can also skew the perception of how frequent these events are."
Agreed.
It's an issue of balance though. It is an issue of understanding the magnitude of the problem. It really isn't that big of a problem. The media over-hypes it, so it seems like it is a huge problem when really, it isn't. Sure, it is a tragedy when it occures, but it doesn't necessitate the infringement of the rights of millions of people.
This problem is so small, does it justify creating laws that will affect millions and millions of people over something so infinitesimally small?
There are much better ways to stop school shootings than gun control laws.
The governing elites just would prefer that the population be disarmed though.
If these elites pass gun control laws, do you think these laws would ever apply to private security companies that provide them protection? Seriously?
Tightening gun laws wont prevent school shootings. Just make it harder.
"but the emotional effect isnt."
Laws should be passed based on reason, logic and statistics, not based on heat of the moment passions and emotions.
There are many more effective ways to harden schools and make it more difficult for these shootings to occur than to infringe upon the rights of others.
You defend a woman's right to kill her own child, but not a man's right to kill his own child? That is pure bigotry, right there.If laws should be passed based on reason, logic and statistics, not based on heat of the moment passions and emotions, then there should not have been laws rendering homosexuality illegal, or laws denying same-sex couples the right to marry, or laws compelling a woman to give birth against her will.That is precisely what I am getting at.The numbers may be small but the emotional effect isnt.

Indeed, most on the right support the above laws and their enforcement, absent reason and logic, motivated solely by subjective emotion.
Yet conservatives oppose banning AR 15s because to do so is “based on heat of the moment passions and emotions.”
Conservatives need to decide what criteria they want used to enact laws and measures – they can’t have it both ways.
True – no one needs an AR 15.I dont think anyone needs an AR-15.Asslips, are you in favor of young, law-abiding black men not being able to buy an AR-15?
The NRA was founded to arm all Americans, of which a significant portion happen to be black.
