But have you thought about the guys who do so much money selling war weapons to everyone and all those clients who get a hard on by purchasing stuff that can turn 400 people into steak tartare in 15 minutes? Oh and also ideology nuts who really believe that everyone having enough ammo to wipe out a city is what keeps murican freedom going and prevent evil government from taking over. Maveric far west proto fascist fantasies are well worth a few thousand lives, aren't they? | ||

I re-read my post and I wasn't clear. I was saying that the quote was saying the entire problem was the peek of stupid. | ||

I mean is there a bigger civil rights group than the NRA? | ||

Because it isn't gross incompetence. Anything under an honorable discharge requires a specific set of conditions being met, none of which have been met by any of the admirals mentioned in the article. | ||

Folks not interested in the NRA's bullshit tactics tend to follow orgs like the Independent Firearm Owners' Association instead. | ||

Its the same for big Pharma/Oil/Whatever/even pro Solar.... The NRA is just is active in a field that makes opposed people go "WTF!" way faster because the effects of too many big ass Guns tend to be very obvious once something bad happens. | ||

If only those actions lined up with what the NRA does or who funds the NRA. The reality is that the NRA is just shill for the gun industry that pretends to be about second amendment rights.

They had an ad recently about "Supporting Respect for the National Anthem," which had nothing to do with guns. They are also silent every time a black gun owner has their rights being trampled on by the state. | ||

It seem way more accurate to say that NRA protects the right for companies to sell guns given who funds the NRA and how the NRA seems willing to act more in the interest of unrestricted gun sales than interest of gun owners. | ||

Not that i believe it will happen, but you seem a bit too sure that it would never ever happen. The main issue is, if some goverment (or armed militia/whatever) is trying to take over, you can bet that it will have a big part of the population behind it. So its people with guns vs people with guns on both sides. Tanks can be on no, both or a third side depending on what the Military does. Congratulations you got a civil war. Looking at Syria and other countries that had/have civil wars, I would rather have a regime getting in charge i dislike than the country (and people you know and love in it) going up in flames. I'm not sure I understand you correctly, you're saying that you would have wanted people in Catalonia to have guns? It doesn't matter whether I'm sure or not if some government suddenly goes tyrannical. It's never a solution, it always produces nothing but carnage. | ||

The captain of the US ship that shop down a civilian airliner that had been identified as a civilian airliner, killing hundreds of innocent people, got a medal at the end of his tour. You don't get fired from your job for incompetence in the military. | ||

No, i said it isn't impossible for a democraticly elected goverment to harm/shoot people. You seemed to disregard that possibility a bit non chalantly.. | ||

Similarly, the Innocence Project and National Center for Lesbian Rights don't count as civil rights groups because they don't cover everything on God's green earth, just issues that don't affect me personally. | ||
