I mean, if we want to make up fairy tales… if they really wanted to get us they could just use drones. Good luck shooting one of those down with your guns when it unexpectedly breaks through a window and explodes!

I’m 100% against the NRA. I’m a member of the Liberal Gun Owners (LGO) and it’s mission is to educate, inform, and protect American citizens. It doesn’t oppose gun safety, it supports legislation that keeps guns out of the hands of criminals and pushes for lawsuits against gun stores who ignore the law.

Essentially only a well trained gun owner should operate a fire arm.

That is opposed to the NRA who want to put guns in the hands of children.

These liberal gun-owner organizations are generally right-wing astroturfing fronts or gun manufacturing lobbyists.

Their goals are twofold: (1) Tap into an unreached market to sell the left more firearms, and (2) to muddy the waters of political discourse, with the worst among them hoping to incite a civil / race war.

Mass proliferation of firearms in America yields a net-negative to society. If they actually improved society, then the correlate of increased firearm availability and crime/homicide-rates should be inversely proportional. In America, they are anything but. We would be much better off overall tackling this as a supply-side problem and inducing scarcity, combined with select licensing (training and specific purpose, such as farming).

We’re they all poisoned or something? Is there something in their drinking water that’s making every member of that family get dumber and dumber every day?
