12. So, even you cannot find any statements by the NRA "feasting over the dead" in Oregon.

As I said, nothing but strawman arguments and allegations, attempts at mind reading, and claims of clairvoyance.

Let me also disabuse you of the myth that carry is not permitted at NRA meetings or in their headquarters. Although I'm neither a NRA member nor supporter of the organization, this claim has been repeatedly debunked. The only time that legal carry is sometimes not permitted at NRA functions is when a particular venue doesn't permit carrying of firearms, which at times occurs at their conventions or special events because they require such large and varied spaces, and the NRA always complies with local laws and regulations concerning firearms, even when they oppose them.

Is there any difference between a maggot infestation and the NRA after a mass shooting? [View all] whereisjustice Oct 2015 OP

Well, maggots can serve useful purposes. The NRA, umm... nothing comes to mind. Thor_MN Oct 2015 #1

Unintentional humor? Major Nikon Oct 2015 #43

Stop insulting maggots. Vinca Oct 2015 #2

Maggots are not insulted, they just just looking for the next meal nolabels Oct 2015 #58

As many people pointed out to me, maggots are more honest creatures than the NRA whereisjustice Oct 2015 #104

All things considered though, it would seem to me that maggots would be on the side of the NRA nolabels Oct 2015 #120

A maggot might find it hard to pull a trigger, but perhaps NRA would build a gun so dangerous whereisjustice Oct 2015 #122

Somehow it all kind of makes sense to me that a maggot would want to pull the trigger nolabels Oct 2015 #124

Would you care to actually cite the NRA's comments about the Oregon shooting? branford Oct 2015 #3

I'll take that as a no. whereisjustice Oct 2015 #4

I'll take that as you're advancing nothing but strawman arguments, branford Oct 2015 #6

Yep, that's a no. whereisjustice Oct 2015 #7

the purpose of the NRA is to sell guns for its corporate gun making owners nt msongs Oct 2015 #9

You're wrong about the mission of the NRA Gormy Cuss Oct 2015 #16

I'm not really trying to defend NRA policies, branford Oct 2015 #19

NRA-ILA is the NRA. Gormy Cuss Oct 2015 #21

The divide is legal and quite meaningful. branford Oct 2015 #30

That the divide is legal doesn't mean much. Gormy Cuss Oct 2015 #31

Both the NRA and NRA-ILA have the absolute right to promote virtually whatever they want branford Oct 2015 #33

I'll take that as you have been pushing a lie for the past couple of days, GGJohn Oct 2015 #24

When they get around to figuring out what to say -- as NRA did after Sandy Hook -- it will be fear, Hoyt Oct 2015 #8

So, even you cannot find any statements by the NRA "feasting over the dead" in Oregon. branford Oct 2015 #12

Oh, there are plenty of vidoes of NRA's press conference after Sandy Hook. Then NRA Prez Keene, Hoyt Oct 2015 #14

I'll try this yet again. branford Oct 2015 #15

Well, like I said, I could be wrong because I don't live in your country, GGJohn Oct 2015 #100

Also, you're govt's approach on the issue of illicit drugs is much more sane GGJohn Oct 2015 #98

I wasn't comparing drugs. I was comparing logic. beevul Oct 2015 #87

And I was saying it doesn't logically follow. nt laundry_queen Oct 2015 #88
