not a thing. Other than claiming everybody ought to own one because everyone else owns one? Not a thing. Other than lobbying Congress to keep the loopholes open so that anyone can buy one in a Texas gun show without any sort of filtering for the mentally ill, criminal or extreme? Not a thing.

They don't have to hand a specific weapon to a specific bad actor be morally responsible. They are extremist and they encourage extremism. The lack of controls they lobby for in opposition of the will of the majority of this nation facilitates terrorism foreign and domestic.

And it boomerangs here in the US. Every time some domestic terrorist shoots up an abortion clinic or school, gun sales goes up and we have NRA paid whackos in Congress proposing more extreme gun "freedoms" like arming teachers, allowing students to pack n campus and more guns get sold to both the fearful and the extreme.

Don't you think "American" gunman shadowing Muslim US citizens in this country is terrorism? Don't you think the gun laws in this country lobbied for by the NRA facilitated that Serbian made AK47 bought in Miami make its way into the terrorist hands that used it in France?

The only two reasons a Serbian AK47 purchased in Paris won't be used for terrorism here in the US is that French law won't allow for the purchase in France and NRA lobbied laws make it very easy to buy it here regardless of the availability of AKs in France.

Yes, the NRA supports and abets terrorism. Here and elsewhere: specifically Paris.
