NRA to party in Houston

[Smokin' OP]

There were lots of school shootings in 2018.. and Trump waffled all over the place.

Trump's Mixed Record on Gun Control - FactCheck.org

When asked what he was going to do about the "gun problem," President Donald Trump responded that “we have done much more than most administrations.” Trump has taken some action to strengthen federal gun control, but his administration also has eased gun restrictions.

I bet Trump never even fired a rifle or pistol in his entire life.
I would love to see pictures..................not the ones with his head photoshopped on a RAMBO body either.
Regardless, I agree,

 

[Smokin' OP]

The attacker knows when it's coming.........Defender doesn't............Depends on how it goes down.........

Security is down the hall hears shots and pulls gun to investigate............he has a better chance against the shooter.

Shooter sneaks in and kills security before he knows what is going on advantage bad guy.

Bottom line .........better to have a chance than none at all.

True.
But would those people have an AR or AK lying around to confront someone who possesses one?

No one carries one of those ON THEIR PERSON or ANY type of weapon of that sort, to stop a crime, not even police, it may be in their vehicle OR not.

So, who should be out gunned?
The "good guys" and police or the bad guy?

 

[Who_Me?]

It was such a lack compassion not to have an armed person on this school campus so we could have reduced or eliminated this tragedy.

The 19 armed cops sitting in the hallway for an hour didn’t do much good either.

Better than nothing even out gunned. More time on the range can help out there, but you are twisting back to your banning guns pisition

Sure, banning morons who need 2000 "rounds' of ammunition to become "proficient" too.

You are nothing but a troll.

We arent gonna give up our guns. Especially iver the crimes of a left wing lunatic.

 

[JusticeHammer]

No, shit.
You don't see many attacking FBI offices or police stations either, for the same reason.

So, we need armed security at schools.

I'm sure RWNJ's wont.
It wont be pretty.

Yes, that always helps, maybe to deter a crackpot or take one out.
Even to call for backup.

Every school in my county has a sheriff's deputy, they live in trailers on campus.

 

[ninja007]

America agrees with me. They are sick of seeing thir kids slaughtered in school.

too bad libs arent tired of a MILLION kids a year slaughtered by 99 percent libs.

 

[ninja007]

Do you have any serious ideas for reducing the gun carnage in America, or are you resigned to the horrific slaughter and determined to deny most Americans their support for sensible preventive measures?

im sure lib you care about the million per year babies murdered by libs?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Fuck the NRA. Buncha soulless monsters.

The NRA is among the top rightwing purveyors of the lie that guns are going to be ‘banned’ and ‘confiscated.’

So they can get morons to buy something they are convinced will be banned.
More $$$ for the gun and ammunition manufacturers.

Over the past 15 years, gun sales have followed the nation’s election cycle, spiking when Democratic elections aggravate fears of gun control, and dipping when Republicans come into power. Gun sales ballooned in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, when President Barack Obama pledged to enact stricter gun reforms.

Though few of his promises were realized, the industry enjoyed unprecedented prosperity for the remainder of his presidency. In 2016, in anticipation of a Hillary Clinton victory, sales lurched again, setting new all-time records for background checks in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s system.

The pandemic sales surge has dwarfed these previous spikes. At Sturm, Ruger, & Co., gross profits nearly doubled between 2019 and 2021 to almost $280 million — its highest total ever.
The chemical and ammunition manufacturing company Olin Corp likewise experienced unprecedented highs, recording more than two billion dollars in ammunition profits over the same period. Smith & Wesson, the most prolific American gun manufacturer, raked in more than half a billion dollars since the pandemic began.

In the fall of 2020, after notching $100 million in sales in October, the company gave employees commemorative silver and blue coins etched with the reminder, “FIRST 100 MILLION DOLLAR MONTH.”

But strangely not in abortion clinics in vastly higher numbers. Wonder why?

Is it because both sides on the American political spectrum want to kill people?

 

[schmidlap]

Crackpot.

Just as most Americans support Roe v Wade as established law, rather than surrendering personal freedom to statist authoritarians, most support sensible firearm regulation.

88 percent in new poll support background checks on all gun sales​

No it will not

 

[tshrimp]

If bad taste prevails and the shooty boys hold their jamboree as scheduled, Squinty LaP may need to hide again, since he can't rely on a firearm to defend himself. (He fled to a crony's luxury yacht after the Sandy Hook massacre.)

In any event, firearm fanciers will just continue to insist their pleasure comes before public safety, and that requires keeping and further liberalizing permissive firearm laws that enable homicidal crackpots to easily acquire their preferred accessories for mayhem.

If you were concerned about public safety you would be supporting gun ownership. Guns are used much more often to save an innocent life then to take one.

Strange since there are already background checks.

Because many leftists admit they want to. Beto stated he would be taking our guns, and if you read posts here you can see that same desire and support. That is not a lie, but a fact.

Abortion bingo. When you have lost the argument.
