Common sense is not welcomed in the NRA's America

1. Why don't gun owners just move to another rifle Assoc ? Or create a Responsible Gun Owners Assoc ?

4. Because most gun owners don't need or want ...

to be associated.

[OnDoutside]

5. Maybe they should, because they are currently associated with the NRA, whether members or not.

[dchill]

6. Seriously - Aly Velshi said Friday that he gets regular...

membership mail from the NRA - but he never joined. I think most of their membership is fake. They only exist to do the bidding of the gun industry.

7. Yes, at least if there was a sizable Rifle Association in opposition, it might cool the NRA jets a

little. As it stands, there is nothing to stop them.

[dchill]

8. If it can be proved that the NRA laundered Russian campaign funds...

That'd stop them.

9. Good question...

I can't answer

We don't even understand this cult.

Now, you have a very big country with various geographical and social factors.

There is certainly a need in some areas to guns. Not the military type.

As far as I know, it is not this kind of population responsible of the mass shooting.

They happened in towns, generally with a medium or high population density. In other words in areas where there is no need to weapons of any kind.

I don't think you have to fear a bear attack or another wild animal in NY, Atlanta, San Francisco or in any mega city. Unless if escaped from a zoo or circus, but that's another story.

So, from what are NRA supporters protecting themselves ?

12. I guess it's fear of losing what they have, and this is riled up by the NRA. IF gun owners are open

to proper gun control, then they need to stand up and set themselves apart from the NRA. Give people an alternative.

[tymorial]

2. So both common sense and the NRA die

Awesome outcome.

3. Greedy, grumpy, grotesque Gargoyle at the Gate.

Go away education, empathy, common sense and decency!

[syringis]

10. Maybe I'm wrong

But I feel a higher number of educated persons in blue states.

As if, for republicans, education is not important. Or worse, because it is easier to manipulate uneducated people ?

[dchill]

11. You're not wrong on any count.
