The NRA is an evil organization that loves killing and murder.

The deaths are the price they are willing to pay to keep their toys.

Why didnt they use an Ar-15 to defend the innocent people then

Millions of law-abiding citizens own and use AR-15s to defend themselves and their families.

That's bullshit

Millions of people have used an AR-15 to save someone's life?

I guess those 50,000 dead per year don't have the fortune of living near a good guy with a gun.

Twitter, not X. Devin hasn't made X embed here.

I think it's just a matter that theirs says twitter.com while yours says x.com. I'm pretty sure gamefaqs is set up to automatically show posts from twitter.com.

They do this every time a mass shooting happens, by the way. They aren't slick with it at all and they aren't trying to hide it either. It's very obviously done in an effort to keep gun support strong as a counter to whenever mass shootings happen as there will be activism against guns in response. It's also why they always use AR-15s in the post. It's sick.

Nothing ever happens to them either.

"We're just politicizing these tragedies so the left can't politicize them! It's different!"

Its really a joke that we just live with non stop shooting events.

The NRA doesn't give a fuck. They take advantage of the response after mass shootings to ramp up fearmongering against gun control because they know it increases gun sales every time.

Yeahhh, I very much doubt that millions of people have defended themselves and their families with AR-15s. Theyre clearly including people who own them but have never actually had to use them for self defense in that number.

NRA freaks laugh and celebrate whenever a large number of people are murdered with guns, especially when the victims are kids.

"Millions of law-abiding citizens" voted Trump even after he ripped babies out of their mothers' arms, even after he went to bat for nazis, even after he tweeted a supporter shouting "white power!" "Millions of law-abiding citizens" support Jim Crow, IOW, "millions of law-abiding citizens" are proud racists who should take a long walk off a short pier. And all of that was even before the Jan 6 terrorism, which a huge chunk of those "Millions of law-abiding citizens" also supported.

That's just not true. I would be interested to know how many people ever have actually successfully protected their home with an AR-15. I'd like to see that number vs the number of people murdered by one.

I know it isn't millions.

Killing someone they perceive to be a threat but actually wasn't doesn't count.

The NRA needs to be shut down

"hours after a mass shooting" is all of them.

Fuck the NRA

Agreed

I'm sure they could have done the exact same amount of defending with something smaller.

They're basically trying to imply that simply having a gun in your home is actively defending yourself and your family with it.

I dont like the NRA
However, we are on the verge of WW3 and Russia with China just had ships off the coast of Alaska

The NRA jerks it every time there's a mass shooting.

The NRA is pro mass shooting

You're not even trying to put together coherent "centrist" deflections at this point.

"Millions of law-abiding citizens own and use AR-15s to defend themselves and their families."
"Defend them against what, NRA?"
"The millions of other citizens with AR-15s, duh."

WTF does that even mean

Im just pointing out the simple fact that we do not live in peaceful times and other nations may mean us harm

Asking bad guys to be nice isnt going to deter them

They are just completely insulated from facts. Reminds me of when Matt Walsh said that millions of children were transitioning genders on Joe Rogan.

Right, and even in this made up fantasy world where we somehow get invaded by Russia or whoever and there are troops on American soil, do you see yourself as some Rambo character?

He will collaborate with them and sell out other Americans before he will fight them.

Just happened but I know I shouldnt actually respond to this because youll summarily ignore anything that doesnt fit your narrative. Im just making a tangential point as to why some people think a certain way. Feel free to carry on. I dislike politics.

It's weird how TC's link has "x" as the platforms title, however when you go there it still stays twitter.com in the url and the following poster was able to post it with it popping up.

Anyways, fuck the NRA and yes they are both tone deaf and intentionally callous.

You expecting some sort of Red Dawn scenario?

I'm so happy to see the replies to the tweet lol

It makes sense once you learn the NRA is largely funded and controlled by Russia.

Has an AR-15 ever saved the lives of anyone?

Ahh yes the it's to soon argument. We have bigger concerns.

And what is your AR-15 going to do in WW3? Or against a group of soldiers from any of those other countries that are going to magically invade any day now?

OK, but ships off a coast =/= ground invasion and citizens going full Rambo

Do you really think you'd actually stand a chance against an actual army even having an AR 15?

THIS is how powerful an AR-15 is.

Now, tell me why a civilian would need something with that kind of destructive ability?

America has a gun fetish and it's disgusting

YouTube should ban videos about assault rifles and handguns. All they do is make guns seem "cool" to people.

as opposed to having a double barrel, lever action or nothing at all? yes.

the reaction that no civilian needs it or its too dangerous or its a "military weapon" or a "weapon of mass destruction" stands to be a good reason to own one under a conflict. "you dont stand a chance against a military" while trying to ban or regulate the thing ("military weapon") that would give others atleast something of a fighting chance in that scenario.

Agreed, it's one of the things that sickens me most about this country.

Have a collection and you like to shoot them at a range as a hobby? Fine, cool.

What I don't like is how millions have turned their fetishism into a major part of their identity, sometimes the defining aspect of their identity. And no, I'm not going for small penis jokes, I'm talking about how you can't ever address responsible gun control legislation or criticize the damage firearms do to this country without them flying off the handle and accusing you of wanting to ban all guns and/or imprison all gun owners.

Except it's not going to do shit. We live in an era where unmanned drones, fighter jets and tanks exist.

It provides a false sense of security against a threat that may never come and the cost is countless American lives being killed on damn near a daily basis.

I meant more that people aren't really gonna be standing their ground regardless of weapon. Bullets start flying and pretty much every normal citizen is running

Nor is it going to do anything against those scary Chinese battleships.
