14. you are out of your element

is the nra paying you to post BS and waste people's time?

this horseshit is from their website- i'm not posting the link so you can practice looking things up. you type 'nra statements rights amendment' into google. count down to #6. you have 5 fingers if that helps.

try reading that maniac's speech from yesterday while you're there. there's also a video of an nra member cutting up his card. he looks like a nice man.

this BS below is so frigging insulting. if you are an nra member, you should tell them to remove it because it makes them look stupid



do you see how this question implies that gun control doesn't work? it's called a loaded question, and it sucks

9. Shouldn`t we at least try some gun control to see if it works?

We have. Over the past century, all types of gun control laws have been implemented in different parts of the United States. Everything from purchase restrictions to complete gun bans has been tried. These laws have not worked, and in some cases have had the opposite effect from what was intended.

Some big cities have strict gun laws. New York City has very strict gun laws, more strict than the rest of the state of New York. In spite of this, New York has always had significantly higher violent crime rates. Washington, D.C. and Chicago, Ill. have banned the ownership of handguns, and both these cities have much higher violent crime rates than the surrounding areas.

States such as Illinois and New York have gun owner licensing. Other states, such as Hawaii, have gun registration. However, none of these laws led to reductions in violent crime rates. And that is the real test of gun control laws. Do crime rates fall after gun laws are passed? The clear answer is no. Gun control has been tested, and it has failed the test.
