As you'd know, if you gave it a moment's thought, it's not organized crime that's the problem.
- It's the hordes of jackasses who keep them in their pickup trucks in case someone beeps there horn at them.
- It's the gangs (organized crime seedlings that need guns to grow big and strong)
- It's people with mental illness, whose acquisition of guns was actively protected by the NRA
- Etcetera Etcetera. Etcetera
I really really really hope the next big wild shoot-em-up is at an NRA convention. I just got to hear how they spin that story whilst their fellow members bleed out.

Ah, thank you for showing your true face. Following that "logic", shooting ranges should be the first theaters of homicides, all those psychos with guns and ammo. Instead the best mass killings happen in gun free zones. Dallas and Zurich should be real cemeteries filled with dead bodies while London and New York should be the safest places, guess what...

NRA members aren't the problem, these shooters are generally left-wing and democrat. So you want NRA members to be shot because they are supporting the rights of democrats rather than wanting to stop the left-wing democrats from becoming shooters in the first place? The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

Your true face is that of a person who calls for another massacre, of your political antagonists, to prove a point. That's revolting.

Only you would fail to see that I'm assuming that, since nothing's changed, more massacres will occur. Accepting that as inevitable, my hope is simply that the consequences be laid upon the cause. Those who oppose any attempt at halting the slaughter. Let them know what it's like first-hand. Or - in a word - JUSTICE

Look at the YouTube shooter. She was just a regular legal gun-owner. What's telling is that rather than criticise the person who pulled the trigger you criticise an organisation that simply supports the rights of regular citizens. That kinda comes off like you have an agenda. You know, like the people who blame Trump for these shootings when they didn't blame Obama for the shootings that happened under his watch. You know the types.

There's no rational evidence that NRA supports are responsible for these shootings, neither physical, moral nor philosophical. So what you're basically saying is that people deserve to be murdered if they act in a way that you personally object to. This is why these shooters are usually left-wing democrats.

Racism is the base of right-wing extremism. Look at those white supremacists groups, often inspired by the extreme right nazism.
And do you - like so many others - lump everyone to the right of you in with those right wing extremists? Racist extremists are given far more credit for power and numbers than they really deserve - primarily because the left wing media likes to use them to try to paint the entire right side of the spectrum in a similar mold.

So typical. I'm surprised you didn't add "Obama Inspired" to that. He's the permanent boggy-man in the Republiscum closet. NRA, through it's financial control of many senators/congressman, is hard at work maintaining the status quo. To them, the status quo is quite acceptable. I'd like to change that by making them take a real first-hand interest in being shot at by a stranger

How about you look at all the other shooters - able to purchase massive cache's of guns and ammo - without so much as a second look. Certainly not in gun-monger states. I find it quite amazing: if you have been to prison you cannot own a gun. If you are mentally unstable, you can (they insist !) . . . obvious conclusion . . . NRA would lose half its membership if the insane couldn't own guns. And as alluded to noted in another post - when will you Republiscum going to stop invoking "Obama" every time you find yourself in an indefensible position?

Why would I add that? I'm a rational person, a realist, no president is responsible for these things, neither Trump now nor Obama then. Maybe you just struggle to deal with rational arguments and instead seek to frame them with your own view of the world. Similarly the NRA isn't responsible either. I know you're looking for an easy quick-fix but alas it doesn't exist as the cause of these things isn't a single thing, that's far too a simplistic and naive way to look at the world. Being naive and posting garbage on the internet is one thing, but that naivety resulting you in wanting people to be shot? Crazy.

This is only a name. The actual name of North Korea is Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Do you consider NK a democracy? And what about the Civil Rights Movement? Is it a right-wing movement? A name is what it is, just a name. It is the actions that defines what you actually are.

Given a fraction of a percent of people killed by guns are from mass-shootings from people will legally owned guns I guess I'll leave you to your crusading. After all if your lobbying stops 0.00001% of murder victims being killed then I guess it's all worth it. The ends justify the means, right?

Wanting people to be shot? Not hardly. Expecting it. Certainly. And I know just the group of people who need their perspective altered. You are the one that brought up Obama, not me, so stop playing innocent. I'm sure you think the idea of making our schools armed fortresses is perfectly natural and the way people should be living in a free nation - free to live in fear if that's necessary - by definition. NRA, and by their financial and political support, it's members, are responsible as accessories. Accessories before the fact - by enabling the easy acquisition of firearms. Accessories after the fact - by attacking the victims. As for your 'quick fix' comment - and an excuse to through out "naive" - well the real nativity is in the NRA membership - thinking anything that stops their absolute and uninhibited access to firearms is an attack on them and their rights. Naivety may be wrong term for NRA members - brainwashed is more like it. So - I simply approach this logically and pragmatically: if it has to happen, and that's extremely likely, I'd like that bump-stock enabled shooter to empty a few clips into those who supported his inalienable right to a 50-round clip, bumpstock, and half a dozen backup weapons so reloading isn't necessary. I simply want you to taste the bitterness of the legacy you've forced onto so many others.

Yeah, but, that's not going to happen, is it? If a shooter was to pull a gun at an NRA convention they'd be dead before their finger even reaches the trigger because that's what happens when law-abiding citizens are armed.

At this point, you're sounding delusional. They'll all turn and gun the shooter down - faster than he can possible fire into a crowd. They shoot him down even before the first shot. What a fucked up point of view! Until he starts firing, there's nothing that distinguishes him from the rest of the gun fanatics. So - preemptively, they'll just start shooting anyone with a gun! Actually, an intriguing idea. Or he starts firing and, when they finally realize what's going on in even those few seconds, scores of rounds have been empties into the crowd. Then, most likely they'll duck. Meanwhile, the Rambo group will start firing - they themselves hitting bystanders as it "ain't no target range when real bullets are flying". Your fantasy will be mitigated by the rather large heap of bodies, many by collateral damage by the might warriors who defended themselves and . . . uh . . . missed. Or - will the NRA ban guns at its meetings?

Indeed. For a two month period, this is the case. Of course, taking a longer view (say 6 months), London is a long way behind
