All the words I have are curse words. While people are reaching out, making masks and gowns for medical personnel, give free concerts and classes, buy gift cards from stores so they wont go under, take groceries to people...they commit this obscenity. I cannot fathom what it takes to be this way.

Anyone who thinks a damn gun is going to stop an entire police force or a damn army is not thinking.
I guess that is what the NRA wants. People not thinking.

(41,915 posts)They didnt go house to house taking guns. Mostly they took them from people boarding the buses to evacuate with the hope of returning them, and yes, sometimes they took them from people who they were rescuing and/or who were scared and they were afraid would shoot somebody. The NRA list its shit and stopped that without a care for who got hurt in the process, and the police and military were really afraid.
Mind you there was a LOT of crazy coming from them too but it was hardly a simple grab the guns.
Bastards!

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

(50,451 posts)Donald Trump is currently working his ass off trying to parlay the CV into permission to become a dictator. The NRA is trying shit like this. It is more than clear that the GOP sees this virus as some sort of dream come true - a chance to take over the country and turn it into a theocratic, fascist third-world shithole.

Do you really think the police will show up when you call?
Ask the people of LA CA how that worked for them during the Rodney King roits. A whole lot of people rethought their stance on gun control.
To be clear there is no place in society for allowing military grade weapons in the hands of the civilian population.
