Re: NRA Newtown response
do you know what is ridiculous? that the anti gun assholes in the press and politicians blame or insinuate that the NRA has any blame whatsoever in this massacre. The laws in place in CT were ones that the brady thugs approved of-registration of guns, waiting periods etc and gun free zones.
why is the NRA even forced to respond when it should be the assholes who created a gun free killing zone or the fact that when the nut job tried to buy a gun and was denied no one acted upon is attempt to improperly obtain a weapon through legal sources?
The NRA may've not limited to that, but they choose to make that their focus which is the ridiculous part. Even if we accept the premise that Violent Movies or Video Games substantially impacts (substantially enough to warrant being greatly singled out by the NRA) people to help create these kind of incidents, it still isn't worthy of such condemnation because the far greater point would be the PARENTS who allow their children to partake in such things. However, by focusing on such ridiculous things as blaming Video Games and Movies the NRA is highlighting the apparent feeling that society or the government should be taking the steps to "parent" children rather than putting it on the parents. It's amazing that apparently "guns don't kill people" but violent video games do. Did they say that directly? No, but they said it in the same general vain that anti-gun people say it about guns which causes the NRA types to launch the critique of "guns don't kill people", so the label fits.
