I agree with a lot of their stances, but as an organization they can go fuck themselves.

Wise words. As most of the times, for them it's not about the cause, it's about money and power. And bitches, of course (no Lox).

That could be said about any and every organization. But besides being after the "Scarface" trinity of money, power, and women they are also actively involved in firearm issues. Including things like promoting firearm safety. And more so than any other organization in the world. Sometimes in misguided ways maybe, but still.

AND promoting firearms! It's not about guns being the reason for all the violence that's happening but I don't feel firearms itselves are a particularly helpful item to involve into any conflict. What I mean is that an organisation, whose only focus are guns, might have some aspects to it that aren't that bad. But no matter if it's gun safety or whatever, in the end it's about promoting guns (Along with the "Scarface Trinity", but I'd rather see that trinity internalized in an organisation like Doctors Without Borders than in the fucking NRA). See where I'm coming from?

You are free to be opposed to their views. But to state that they aren't about the cause they claim, which is promoting firearms yeah, like you did in the first post is a fallacy.

Didn't say that. I thought I was more precise in my second post which said: "But no matter if it's gun safety or whatever, in the end it's about promoting guns (Along with the "Scarface Trinity", but I'd rather see that trinity internalized in an organisation like Doctors Without Borders than in the fucking NRA)." Cuz no matter what the motivation of the organisation's members might be, the organisation itself is still about promoting guns, which I don't think is a very desirable goal in itself.

OK. Sorry I misunderstood you the first time round. I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death (with firearms) your right to say it.

J. B A N A N A S:
The NRA can go fuck itself but I am very pro gun. If when I move back to CA a registry is required you can bet I'm not declaring anything.

Russell Bell:
The gun debate is crazy right now.

Ive got a question for all you cupcake Euros who think the Queen knows best - How did the Assault Rifles Ban of 1994 effect the Columbine Incident?

I'll wait...

It didn't. But then again I'm not for an assault rifle ban. I am for a licensing process in which before anyone buys a gun, they must prove they can take care of one and they have the proper training to carry one. Many people leave loaded guns around their house and their kids get to them. I had a friend die from a mom who left a loaded shot gun out, and the statistics of children who die in home accidents is just crazy. If a licensing process saves one kid, if it educates gun owners about the true dangers of guns, then it would have worked.

Now in terms of the Assault Rifles ban, England has outlawed assault rifles and hand guns for almost 2 decades, and no one has invaded them yet. So far they have had all the benefits and none of the negatives that we as Americans fear. I personally don't support the US adopting that policy, but it can be argued that we'd be better off if we did.
