Suggested New Year's Resolutions For The NRA

[kioa]

23. I'm not a member of the NRA, but allow me to respond to this list.

1) "Civil Rights (pl) (n) -
Personal liberties that belong to an individual, owing to his or her status as a citizen or resident of a particular country or community."
A citizen of the USA has a liberty to keep and bear arms. Thus RKBA is a civil right.

2) You mean that criminals will create a black market when faced with prohibition?
Good point, but I have no idea how you think this bolsters the argument for gun control.

3) "Assault Weapons BAN" It's a difficult sell to try to claim that you don't want to ban guns while supporting a gun ban

4) You don't think the US should improve it's abysmal mental health care?
I disagree.

5) Odd accusation. Any supporting links?

6) None of those countries can choose their own Head of State either.
I prefer the greater personal liberties the USA has.

7) Guns when "used as directed" don't commit murder. Thus the law against murder.
If your problem is with mass casualties: the 3 biggest mass killings in US history is 9/11, OKC bombing & Happy Land Fire; none of which used a firearm.

8) CCL holders are less likely to commit crimes than the general public or police officers.
Zimmerman should been found guilty & put in prison; are you going to support doing away with the right of a fair trial as well?

9) The sniper rifles used by the police & military is the Winchester M70 & Remington M700.
Both rifles are Bolt Action hunting rifles.
Tell me again how you aren't going to 'take people's guns away'.

10) People convicted of Domestic Abuse are felons. Felons lose the RKBA
