The Communist Origin of the Modern Conservative Movement VI

Guns are much like cars some cars are designed to reach 300 mph others have trouble reaching 100 mph. Some guns are designed to fire 900 rounds a minute, others would have trouble firing six.

Assault weapons are designed to kill large numbers of enemy soldiers on a battlefield which is why they are so popular with mass murderers they want to kill as many people as possible in as short a time period as possible. Not all cars can reach 300mph and not all guns can fire 900 rounds a minute.

The number of people listed as injured in the Las Vegas shooting was indeed 837. If you’re injured when a building collapses, it is reasonable to believe the collapse of the building caused your injuries. If you are injured at the sight of a mass murder it is reasonable to believe that the guns caused the injuries.

Anyway, you look at it the shooter was the proximate cause of all the injuries.

Usually the stories on mass murders only list two categories those killed and those injured.

That is a lie.

This is a weak argument...

Criminals do not take those classes.

If you think that the only method of accessing firearms is through licensed gun dealers you're just hiding your head in the sand.

The more guns that are manufactured and sold means the more opportunities for firearms to be stolen, fenced, and otherwise illegally distributed.

Hell, you're the people always telling us that gun laws won't keep criminals from getting hold of firearms and now you quickly try to change the narrative when it's inconvenient..

Who changed the narrative?

The NRA has one reason to exist and that is to sell more guns for the gun manufacturers

The NRA also teaches people how to handle guns safely. Criminals do not take those classes.

You did. Where did I mention "banning" guns?

Crooks and people with criminal records do not take those sorts of classes because they can't legally own guns.

If you are against the NRA, what other purpose do you have for guns?

So what? People don't care if criminals use their guns safely.

And the absence of a criminal record doesn't mean that people won't obtain and use guns for criminal purposes.

Do you really think that without the NRA, guns would have no purpose?

I'm against the NRA because it's become a refuge for MAGA "flaggots" who think of themselves as patriots.

Do we ban booze because of drunk drivers...

I think without the NRA, the anti-gun crowd would be well on their way to having the 2nd Amendment repealed, which would indeed lead us one step closer to Tyranny.

You could at least be honest and admit that you haven't liked the NRA for longer than 2016...

Oh for christ's sake, don't you recall that the country tried alcohol prohibition before and it didn't work?

Why would we try it again?

I've never supported banning firearms but I would support more controls over the types of weapons and accessories that are sold, more thorough background tests, and registration.

But if it came down to banning alcohol or banning guns I'd definitely go with the latter.

There's nothing "dishonest" about my statement. You didn't ask me how long I haven't liked the NRA. I actually began to dislike the NRA in the '80s and that's when I terminated my membership.

If we can save just one life from a drunk driver wouldn't it be worth it?

Of course you would, socialism is easier to implement when people can't fight back.

Yet the first word out of your mouth about dislike for the NRA has to do with Trump supporters.

No.

Who's implementing socialism? I'm talking about living under capitalism.

That's because the organization gets worse every year — I'm commenting on the current situation not writing a historical account.

The NRA is simply a puppet organization for the Gun Manufacturers Association and that has been very carefully documented by following the money.

The NRA has one reason to exist and that is to sell more guns for the gun manufacturers

they do promote marksmanship and gun safety; that was their sole mission before they got hijacked by the survivalist paranoids, white nationalist "flaggots", and libertarian Rambos.

You realize that people will take the path of least resistance when given a chance. Guns are the path of least resistance to kill people. You can shoot somebody from across the room without getting your hands dirty. But killing someone with a knife you have to be up close and personal and you are going to be covered with blood and there is the possibility that the person you are attacking is stronger than you and he will take the knife away or bust you upside the head with an ash tray.

There are very few people killed with knives and they are in every household.

When somebody decides to kill someone, they don’t go buy a knife for a good reason.

Guns are only in a third of American homes imagine the death toll if they were in 100% like knives. There would be 120,000 killed instead of just 40,000.

Assault weapons are designed to kill large numbers of enemy soldiers on a battlefield

Think about it, a shooter in your children’s school shooting 48 kids a minute is that really what you want just so you can go bang, bang? Life always comes down to choices.
