Attorney General James Files Lawsuit to Dissolve NRA

[Aunt Marg]

My husband said he'll supply all the acid needed to ensure the NRA is completely and 100% dissolved, right down to the root system.

It's not the NRA that's the problem. It's the people using the guns that's the problem. If everyone would use them responsibly it wouldn't be an issue.

Letitia is a fine woman, IMO.

Everyone can't because everyone ISN'T. Responsible.

 

[MarciKS]

That's the problem in a nutshell. If people wouldn't act like idiots we wouldn't have half the problems we have in this world.

 

[MarciKS]

But how do you tell grown people to behave themselves when playing with guns & being a part of a society?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Letitia is a fine woman, IMO.

I'm hoping once she lowers the end of the barrel of her 600 Nitro Express, she pulls both triggers at once.

Take-out the elephant in the room once and for all!

I was a member of the NRA, years ago, before and during the time when Charlton Heston was it's leader. Back then, the emphasis was on gun safety and responsible ownership. After LaPierre took over, the "integrity" of that organization seemed to be declining, IMO. I let my membership lapse 15+ years ago, and forgot about that group.

Put a sting into the perp. Brandishing a gun 10 years no parole, shooting someone life no parole and killing someone the chair. No other options period.

 

[fmdog44]

I don't agree with some of the killer weapons available today but the NRA is not going away.

 

[MarciKS]

Perhaps if they could crack down on the gun safety & who their selling to that would help. I don't really understand why every Tom, Dick & Harry needs a gun? I've lived 54 yrs without one. Never needed one. Never wanted one.

 

[Pecos]

I remember a time when the NRA was a sane and honorable organization. It is disheartening to see what is has become.

Not sure why the NRA gets blamed for what a criminal chooses to do with a gun. That is like blaming auto makers for every auto accident that occurs.

But, it's SO easy, for some. to blame others, or society, for their individual shortcomings.

You are asking a lot from the unwashed and uneducated.

Automakers do try to make their vehicles safer. I can't say the same for gun makers. The more deadly the gun, the more popular and the greater amount of sales.

Neither have I. However, if I was to move to the U.S., the first thing I would buy is a gun.

 

[Pepper]

if I was to move to the U.S.

You can't. We built a wall and Trudeau paid.

Wait. I want my money back. I thought Mexico was supposed to pay.

Why would coming to the US suddenly prompt a gun purchase? I live in the US & I don't need one.

 

[Manatee]

NYC and state has had draconian gun laws forever, and they have failed miserably. The city and state leaders solution has been to release felons onto the street and wonder why crime has skyrocketed.

The NRA should move to a friendlier state and reincorporate. NRA management should address any illicit activity after investigation by other than politically motivated left wingers.

A gun is Only deadly to the individual on the receiving end of the barrel/bullet. The way our societies are crumbling under the stress of the virus, investing in the gun makers stocks is going to prove to be a wise investment for the foreseeable future.

So, some folks want to divest people of their guns. Which sounds great, except that criminals won't go along with this and get rid of theirs ... so now what?

There are probably millions of stolen or unregistered guns in the U.S. Any attempt to confiscate firearms would be fruitless, since only the honest people would make any attempt to comply. All any such measures would do is embolden the criminals.

Remember...."When danger is only seconds away, the police are only minutes away". And....with the increasing campaigns Against the police, those "minutes" may become "hours"....especially in the crime infested areas of our cities.

Why, Camper? You seem to have a pretty sane, sensible perspective on this, until you get to that last sentence. If you think you really "need" a gun to live in this country, you are probably getting your ideas about life in the U.S. from old-time western movies.

I've lived here all my life, have never owned a gun, neither did my parents or my husband, neither do my children or grandchildren, and we all manage to get along here just fine. I think by following the media, you get a somewhat distorted picture of the danger of not having a gun in your hand at all times. The NRA would like to have you think that's true; it isn't.
