Well, keep in mind that this is an organization whose income is dependent (at least in part) on selling guns. Thus if they can convince people that Obama is going to grab their guns REAL SOON NOW (or whatever the current scare is) they can bilk a lot of money from the gullible. MEH The NRA does not have to do that Obama needs no help in that dept"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

yoink 321 #184 August 12, 2015 Out of all the freedoms the government takes away every year, this seems like such a non-event that it's ridiculous. We've been criticized with not putting forward any viable solutions to the gun problem - (if you think there is one.) Pro gun advocates are always talking about 'Responsible gun ownership'. When we try and suggest that the recommendations by the biggest gun lobby in the world be backed by some sort of sanction (I'd suggest confiscation and inability to own a firearm for a period of time) then it suddenly becomes a civil rights issue. If you have a demolitions license to buy explosives you are REQUIRED to store and handle them in a certain secure way. If you have a license for cylinders of compressed gasses (like hospitals have) you are REQUIRED to store them in a certain secure way. I'm sure there are other examples. How if this any different? The pro-gun advocates preach responsible ownership but refuse to follow advice given by their lobbying body. How can any of their stances be taken seriously with that level of hippocrasy?

DanG 1 #185 August 12, 2015 Cylinders and explosives are dangerous to the whole neighborhood. They are particularly dangerous to fire fighters. They are dangerous even when they haven't been stolen by a criminal. Basically, you are advocating criminalizing being robbed. It is completely different from the requirement to safely store explosives. - Dan G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
