Fair enough

I completely disagree with banning semiautomatic rifles though

Why is the NRA so powerful anyway

I always thought it was some club for gun worshippers

Like the red hat society but instead of sweet old ladies in giant hats it's sweaty hicks with giant guns


Because of bible thumpers who think it's a "God given right". Build a wall around the bible belt.

I don't really think this townhall helps the gun control people


exactly how would this additional exposure harm efforts to control the sale of firearms? it seems like there is now consensus to move forward on barring people with mental illness from obtaining guns, strengthening background checks with the passage of additional legislation & a possible real ban on bump stocks (assuming all the talk from republicans aren't just empty gestures, they are after all in control of the government).

not just from this town hall in particular, but the way the conversation has kind of caught fire recently.


The talks about banning guns is what doesn't help them

Yeah. From morons accidentally shooting themselves with their own guns. Or their toddler or dog shooting them. And don't try to play the Chicago gang card. The gun nuts who throw that out don't give a fuck about the black youths killing each other.

They use that point to make it sound like these gangs are killing white people downtown. It's disingenuous.

To be honest, her arguments were quite valid.

Where are the checks and balances of preventing documented nut cases from owning these weapons? And why should we infringe on others' rights?

It's not even "Blame the NRA for this", because I'm more of the type you blame the shooter for the incident, but blame the NRA for the long culture of guns and the politicization of firearms.

But things she blamed this shooting on:

Shooter
Sheriff
Sheriffs office
School
FBI
CNN

So the NRA lady is saying that she wants all states to have to comply with submitting data to NICS and that people who had a history of violent/unstable behavior should not be allowed to purchase firearms and she's getting booed. Why? Is it because she's not foaming at the mouth and demanding a ban on semi-automatics?

Funny that these certain deaths that are from accidental shootings count and ones from intentional deaths don't.

I don't. I personally hold the view that this is an epidemic resulting from over prescribing of dangerous narcotics, that are being handed out like candy---which are absolutely known to cause suicidal thoughts and adverse reactions in individuals. 90%+ of these individuals are on anti-depressants.

We didn't have this problem 20 years ago. No one can mention pharmaceuticals because they'll pull the Ads and funding. They won't allow it.

But under the contexts of the argument, she made valid points of why it is not the NRAs fault.

...you couldn't be anymore incorrect if you tried. Not only are most homicides (not accidental deaths) from handguns, most mass shootings are done by handguns--with identical results with rifles, mind you.

And why is Chicago off limits? What does caring for the black youth have to do with bringing up a city with crazy amount of annual homicides? That statement alone is suspect. As is thinking people bring it up to paint it like the victims are white even though those that do bring it up typically point out the "black on black" aspect of it.


Alternative facts.

Honestly, I know what you are saying here.

The NRA is just another special interest group and nothing more.
So that get's back to the old notion of campaign financing. And Campaign finance reform.
