The NRA Rule: The NRA says there there will be no disscussion for at least 5 days about guns

and assult rifles after an .."event" Why? Because discussion at this time of grief is not giving respect to those that died and were injured..... Is this possible?

The NRA never breaks the rule out of respect for the dead and injured.., and no one else should break the "rule" Too early to discuss this...
. It doesn't matter what happened, the rule states , no discussion for at least 5 days after an event. You will not hear from them or those that support them for at least 5 days. It is what the NRA did in the past, will do now, and will always do...
(after 5 days..things calm down the NRA, and the U.S.A can go back to "business as usual" .. selling guns and killing more people..)
PLEASE READ BELOW...VERY IMPORTANT....

Now, I want say right here, I made this up...I don't know of any such rule..I have never heard of any such rule..I haven't got a clue...

But I must say, after many years of watching the NRA respond to such "events", it seems that this is their unwritten rule. And in general, they seem to always follow it. Will the NRA and its followers abide by this made up rule?....
.........We will soon see.......................

Fuck the NRA. This needs to be an ongoing discussion, regardless of when the most recent mass shooting has been.

Oh, how I wish that only those who think guns shouldn't be restricted would be the only ones to lose loved ones like this.

Barring that, I believe that we should see exactly what damage guns do to human bodies.
