(25,518 posts)If so, you are only embarrassing yourself. I don't believe for a second that those weapons are safe and know for certain that they are NOT entitled to protection under the 1st Amendment. I believe I am in very good company of those advocating that these dangerous weapons should be banned.
There is little wonder why the AR-15 is one of the preferred weapons of terrorists, like so many of the school shooters and other madmen terrorizing the country these days. These are terrorist acts, designed to instill fear, and the NRA's protection of these heinous weapons makes it an accomplice to these crimes and, yes, a terrorist organization in its own right. You can coddle the NRA if you like - I refuse.
And, btw, I didn't say ALL firearms are unsafe and should be banned under the 1st Amendment, so your putting words in my mouth only highlights your lack of a valid argument. And your comparison of inherently dangerous firearms to Facebook and Twitter, LOL, talk about hyperbole! I'm embarrassed for you with such juvenile arguments.
You might want to.think things through next time before you spew such ridiculous nonsense.
