Here’s All You Need to Bust the NRA [View all]

Here’s All You Need to Bust the NRA
By: TuffsNotEnuff Sunday April 7, 2013 5:13 pm

To bust them as blood-gargling psychopaths.

In recent years 38% of the 16,000,000 annual civilian gun purchases were reported as being bought for “home defense.” At a conservative estimate of $500 each, that makes for $8-billion in “home defense” purchases.

But what are these guns used for ?

Not home defense.



This FBI summary of nationwide police reports records a grand total of 232 civilian justifiable homicides. The deceased were engaged in felonies such as threatening or beating the shooters. You are not allowed to shoot trepassers or garage band drummers, no matter their size, shape or smell.

In the details, only 80 of these incidents occurred at the residences of the shooters.

NRA has sold Americans on a claim that there are 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 annual gun defenses.

NRA lies.

THE BLOODY REST:
