EPA chief Pruitt joined by family in condo tied to lobbyist 'power couple'

I have a question:

If the Left feels it is okay to blame the NRA organization in deaths perpetrated by local (domestic) terrorists why do the same Lefties think it isn't it okay to blame the organized sources of inspiration for other types of terrorists?

Kind of a strange hypocrisy eh?

I am not sure what you mean by "organized sources" but Oswald did buy the rifle he used to kill Kennedy with a coupon from the NRA.

So what about the organized sources of inspiration for other (non-domestic) terrorists?

New Yorkers Against Gun Violence

Actually a coupon from an ad in an NRA magazine by mail order. So the laws were different then. Relevance? And so your contention is now that all killings are the fault of the NRA?

You might want to read up a bit more about what the NRA wanted to do about that.

Suggesting that people are hypocrites before they can respond suggests you're not interested in what they think because your mind is already made up.

I already stated, "I am not sure what you mean by "organized sources"' so if you want me to comment on them, you will need to be a little more specific than that. You can name Islam and somebody else will point to a Christian terrorist if you want, but what organizations are you referring to as "organized sources"?

I was just pointing out something historically true. What you do with it or infer from somebody pointing out a fact is up to you.

Well, I think the answers sort of bear that out. But then again, dodging the organized religion that is the platform of inspiration for a majority of international terrorism while easily assigning blame to the NRA is pretty glaring in disparity.

Of course you were. You just dug that up to point it out, for no reason whatsoever. Obtuse much?

Organized religion? All I saw was you 'poisoning the well' and providing absolutely no proof of your claim.
 
Re: EPA chief Pruitt joined by family in condo tied to lobbyist 'power couple'

The OP's question was a bit poorly stated, but the point should have been fairly obvious.

If the NRA is somehow responsible for school shootings...

Why are all black people not responsible for the crimes of individual black people?
Why are all white people not responsible for the crimes of an individual white person?
Why is an auto manufacturer not responsible when a person gets drunk, crashes their car, and kills somebody in the process?

When the media highlights the leftist opinion that the NRA is responsible for school shootings, but then turns around and changes their tune for the above 3, and many other, examples, that is hypocrisy. It also violates every form of logic.

The NRA has falsely linked the 2nd Amendment to a right to bear assault weapons. And they have espoused this over and over. So they are partially responsible for the crimes perptrated with these weapons. It's unconstitutional, and it's nice to see America stand up to their disgusting rhetoric.
