Gunman opens fire

2. Shootings = Fundraising.

The NRA welcomes shocking gunplay. Their printing presses are timed with them.

[aikoaiko]

4. Especially your friends at the Brady Bunch Campaign, onehandle

http://www.bradycampaign.org/
Go ahead and click on it to see the Martin shooting stories and links to donate.

Here ya go in case you don't really want to look:

That little "help us fight" link takes you to a donation page.

Yup. shootings = fundraising

8. Just pointing out onehandle's lack of inclusiveness in his outrage...

...regarding shootings and fundraising.

But yes, the Brady Bunch is tacky.

[Chorophyll]

7. Yes. You're right. It's exactly the same. Except

the Brady Campaign doesn't have anywhere near the financial/political "firepower" of the NRA in this paranoid, gun-obsessed country.

But nice try.

[aikoaiko]

9. True, the Brady Bunch have little to offer.

[JDPriestly]

10. Fundraising to save human lives and alleviate suffering.

Isn't that shocking? How dare they?

[aikoaiko]

11. Hey, its your anti-gun friend who brought up the fundraising-shooting angle.

I'm just pointing out that his favorite organization does the same.

[JDPriestly]

16. I think it would be a good idea for the NRA

to start a campaign to discourage killings of all kinds with guns.

I think they promote gun safety, but what do they do to confront the problems that their support for right-to-carry laws cause, problems like the Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case?

I would like to know. A gun is a huge responsibility. What is the NRA doing to warn its members about the dangers of guns to themselves, their families, their neighbors and strangers like Trayvon Martin?

17. NRA provides training that covers these issues

I'll have to spend some time looking stuff up on their site.

I've taken one NRA handgun safety courses and the instructor did stress responsibly and that mistakes mean unnecessary death and jail time.

[JDPriestly]

18. Good. Might be a good idea to require the courses for those who have permits to carry their guns.

But still, if someone drinks too much . . . . ?

That's where a lot of domestic violence gets its push.

Hard to say which is worth, driving while drunk or carrying a gun while drunk.

13. I have nothing to do with them, but thanks for the photo.

'Zimmerman, I am the NRA.'

Perfect.

NRA apologists are trapped in one little sad room at DU. DU3 rocks!

[aikoaiko]

14. Obviously, you've not been paying attention.

Not surprising.

[Skittles]

15. naw

onehandle pays PLENTY of attention

12. cartoon is missing something.

I could see an office building full of 'stand yer grounders' furiously working their keyboards shilling the nra/goa message to all the blogs, forums and etc.

19. I object! The NRA guy looks like a pissed off Hal Holbrook, and ...

I happen to like Hal Holbrook!
