1. Defending the "Rights" of the Dangerous
This week, Thomas King, a board member for the NRA as well as the president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, said that he didn't want to attend a pro-gun rally in his state because he considered the event "contentious and threatening."
"I just don't want to be a party to anything that may happen," King said ominously. Despite feeling that his safety is in jeopardy for being around these gun owners, he plays a major role in preventing any restrictions from being placed on his comrades' right to bear arms. Does he not see the irony there?
2. Blame Hollywood!
After every tragic mass shooting in this country, NRA spokespeople have insisted that guns are not the problem, the problem is movies that glamorize gun violence.

The blame "violent video game" app is someone at a shooting range shooting paper targets.
I think the so called "stand your ground" insurance is actually a great benefit. If you have the unfortunate necessity of having to use a weapon to defend either yourself or your family from a violent attacker you shouldn't have go bankrupt defending yourself from overzealous prosecution.
