While I agree with you, I just want to point out you just proved gun control laws will never work. No one wants to live in a police state, and we shouldn't want to live in a police state. So criminals will get them, and it's just wrong for government to inflict policies on honest citizens that prevent them from protecting themselves and do nothing to keep guns from criminals.
I haven't argued in favor of gun laws, or against the 2nd Amendment. I'll argue that there needs to be a mass shooting at an NRA convention to give them a taste of what they push on society. The "shooter" wouldn't even need a gun. Just toss a string of firecrackers into the crowd, hit the deck, and let the gun monkeys kill each other.
But seriously, I'm arguing against stupid gun owners who champion stalking and murder as "justifiable homicide". It should be frightening to any sane person to read these comments from people who think that the 2nd Amendment is to defend liberty. Not one of these assholes has a shred of concern for Trayvon Martin's liberty? No, that's too much. These assholes just keep saying that Martin got what he deserved. It's disgusting.
Have you ever been to an NRA convention? Do you even know what the NRA is all about?
By the way, the NRA doesn't manufacture or sale any firearms.
The National Rifle Association's mission statement is as follows:
"To protect the Second Amendment right to bear arms, and to promote safe, responsible, and competent use of firearms."
The NRA has been an advocate of firearm ownership since 1871 and recently has been taking on the unjust efforts of anti-gun proponents to prevent individual gun ownership and otherwise prohibit the exchange of lawfully obtained and transferred weapons. Please see their website for membership information or contact me as a referral to their organization as I am a life member.
In 1990 NRA Foundation Inc. was established a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearm-related public interest activities of the National Rifle Association of America and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans. These activities are designed to promote firearms and hunting safety, to enhance marksmanship skills of those participating in the shooting sports, and to educate the general public about firearms in their historic, technological, and artistic context. Funds granted by The NRA Foundation benefit a variety of constituencies throughout the United States, including children, youth, women, individuals with physical disabilities, gun collectors, law enforcement officers, hunters, and competitive shooters.
