The NRA Doesn't Want Public to Know Where Gun Violence Weapons Come From

X-posted from the other group.

The National Rifle Assn. (NRA) has pushed the limits of the Second Amendment to the extent that there is daily gun violence all over America, unabated because a gutless Congress won't enact laws to control guns in this country. The 2nd Amendment is an antique that should either be drastically modified or repealed. There is no hope for reasonable gun control until the NRA, along with its leader, Wayne LaPierre, are backed into a corner and told to shut up.

Just yesterday I posted on my blog about the death of an innocent 19-year-old girl and asked the question I have been asking for a couple of years: Where did he get the gun? There is no answer to that because the NRA has refused to allow a gun registry that would assist law enforcement in tracing back every gun used in violent shootings. One of the reasons the gun lobby doesn't want that registry is that then many of the weapons used in gun violence might be connected to NRA members
.

So now he's saying that NRA members are complicit in the violence?
And, now he wants to restrict a citizen's 1A right?

A bunch of Hooey.

Yet another poster that doesn't understand the second amendment.

Its not the nra pushing "the limits of the Second Amendment", its the gun control crowd that wants to ignore the limits of the second amendment, and treat a constitutionally protected right as if its a privilege bestowed by government.

Just look at any thread where they talk about licensing gun ownership, for an example.

The four branches of government:
1) executive
2) legislative
3) judicial
4) NRA

And I remember that the NRA had veto power over all the others, which is how "the NRA has refused to allow a gun registry".

Oh, how far we have fallen. I remember the glory days of 2009-2010, when we had the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, and that evil ol' NRA vetoed every attempt by Obama and all the Democrats good and true to do anything useful about the unholy scourge of the devil-gun.

It sounds like someone is back from flogging whatever other group wouldn't generate traffic for his site, giving it another go over here. Maybe he'll read this and be able to answer this question:

In the United States this year, about 3/1000 of 1% of the guns in circulation will used to murder someone. The question: "In what alternate world would a maximum of 3/1000 of 1% be considered 'many' when compared to the number of NRA members?"

Truly there is no hope for this country until the voices Nasty Jack does not want to listen to are officially silenced by the government. Only then will our rights be secure. It is my humble opinion that the voices Nasty Jack is having a problem with are, shall we say, an internal problem.
