24. Because the NRA and their love of the second amendment has trumped human rights?

Thu Jul 7, 2016, 11:16 AM

Jul 2016

The NRA believes that all people should have access to firearms. Any time there's any kind of shooting or mass shooting their message is literally always the same - "there should have been a good guy with a gun present". But what happens when there is a scenario like this where that can't be done? Not to mention the NRA has made it easier to get guns in the hands of people who flat out should not have firearms, like the police who have declared themselves judge, jury and executioner. And thanks to the NRA we've become so numb to violence that police think anytime anyone is reaching for something - whether it's their wallet or their phone, that they're immediately thinking the other person is going to draw a gun. This is what our society is becoming and it's getting scary.
