Waiting on The NRA

So why hasn't the NRA come out and declared that all Muslims and Imans should be armed? The declared for teachers and everyone else, but it seems Muslims don't count? Is that it? Moreover, I've noticed that the gun crowd around here has been pretty quite on declaring such a thing as well? Is the second amendment only for nonMuslims?

What's up the silence?

The Russians probably told the NRA to STFU

Probably more, I don't know. A mass murder is technically more than 2 victims, correct?

Mass murder - Wikipedia
The FBI defines mass murder as murdering four or more persons during an event with no "cooling-off period" between the murders. A mass murder typically occurs in a single location where one or more people kill several others.


Mass shooting - Wikipedia
A mass shooting is an incident involving multiple victims of firearms-related violence. The United States' Congressional Research Service acknowledges that there is not a broadly accepted definition, and defines a "public mass shooting"[1] as an event where someone selects four or more people indiscriminately, and kills them, echoing the FBI definition[2][3] of the term "mass murder". However, according to the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012, signed into law in January 2013, a mass killing is defined as a killing with at least three deaths, excluding the perpetrator

There are Muslims inside America too.

Which means squat regarding an attack literally on the other side of the world.

Yeah, all Muslims have packed themselves into New Zealand...

The obtuse train will be here in a minute; I'm sure you have a ticket.

No...that's not the answer, I don't think. The "N" stands for something in the N.R.A. for sure, but I can't recall what it is.

Not Muslims dude. Where's the Muslim declaration?

What exactly is your point other than the fact you don't like the NRA helping people own firearms that your democratic party masters don't trust you to own?

WTF jet? Don't you have anything better to do then try and stir something. But to satisfy you is anyone saying they shouldn't be? And being part of "the gun crowd" I never really gave it any thought,but apparently you have so you could try and stir something up.

But why - oh - why hasn't the NRA come out and declared that all Muslims in the US should be armed?

Well since you put it like that I guess we should arm all prohibited people to. No jet you don't get to have a gotcha moment. A Muslim without a criminal or mental disturbed history can be just as armed as anyone else under the same circumstances.

Right here....

The mission statement of the National Rifle Association includes the imperative to defend the U.S. Constitution, especially the right of American citizens to keep and bear arms. It stipulates that the NRA promotes the effective training in firearms of law enforcement officers, the armed forces and participants in shooting sports.
 
jamesrage said:
So you are saying Muslims don't teach in public schools? Or that when the NRA said teachers should be armed they meant only public schools, not private and or religious schools?

Open another's mouth- insert words.

How about just answering the questions.

It doesn't say Muslims does it. It doesn't say "teachers" either, but the NRA made a declaration for them didn't they.

Progressives: "The NRA should stop making political statements, they are a terrorist group."

One day later

Progressives: "Why has the NRA not mentioned anything about a terrorist attack in a foreign country?????"

Along those lines...if the NRA HAD encouraged Muslims to further arm themselves, the OP would have called them out for being vile pieces of **** for using a tragedy to further a political argument....sort of like him starting this thread in the first place.

It says "American Citizens"...….it does not say muslim, Christian, Hebrew, Sikh, firefighter, lefthanded gay underwater basket weavers, or any of the tens of thousands of labels that some seem to think matter so much.

Unless of course you are under the impression that there are no Muslim American Citizens?

Does the NRA have to advocate for 2nd Amendment rights for everyone American Citizen by specific identity group?

Or did you just need something to make noise over?

I'm thinking this was more devastating in your head than what it actually turned out to be. So, you're not only using a bunch of dead Muslims to hit the pro-gun crowd over the head, but you're doing it badly. You might wanna either up your game, or abandon this. It's not a super classy look at the moment, my brother.

He seems to under the impression they don't teach in public schools either judging by his other posts. So he probably doesn't think there are any Muslims that are American citizens.

You are the one trying to falsely claim the NRA doesn't want American Muslims to exercise their 2nd amendment rights. The NRA is supportive of all Law abiding American citizens owning and carrying guns. That pretty much encompasses Americans of different religions, ethnicity, races and sexes.
