Yep. Can't express an opinion about guns if one is not a rabid white wing gun-nut, trained to kill. Hoyt Mar 2018 #1

Ignorance in support of a good cause is still ignorance. hack89 Mar 2018 #3

Addiction to guns and intimidation is worse. It might be a "game" to me, but it's protecting Hoyt Mar 2018 #10

And once again you prove my point. hack89 Mar 2018 #22

What's your point? That flooding the country with guns is good for someone besides gun CEOs? sharedvalues Mar 2018 #52

I buy a lot of beer and bourbon hack89 Mar 2018 #56

You're wrong, I'm sorry to say. Gun/ammo profits fund child killings. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #80

That's nice. hack89 Mar 2018 #82

It's a serious discussion. Gun buys fund the NRA, and fund killings. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #86

Bye. Nt hack89 Mar 2018 #97

How much goes to the NRA? sl8 Mar 2018 #85

It's standard corp finance: gun co's have a marketing budget. But here's some details. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #87

Thanks for the response, but it doesn't really answer my question. sl8 Mar 2018 #88

Profits go to fund gun violence. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #89

Answer #1: "hundreds of millions, here's a citation" sharedvalues Mar 2018 #91

Really? When did the NRA support terrorist activities in the US? SlimJimmy Mar 2018 #115

Answer #1: hundreds of millions. Heres a citation sharedvalues Mar 2018 #119

Your post is a big rightwing talking point sharedvalues Mar 2018 #135

Do sales between individuals fund the NRA? If I buy a box of ammo from my neighbor, am I funding... Marengo Mar 2018 #136

Most guns in this country are not purchased for self-defense, unless you think Hoyt Mar 2018 #49

Bless your heart. AzureCrest Mar 2018 #50

Would you categorize those in the photos posted by Alea as gunners? Marengo Mar 2018 #59

I would categorize that as a blatant attempt to obscure the fact that white wing racist gunners Hoyt Mar 2018 #60

Looking at murders statistics, can't one say that gunners of all races put guns over society? hack89 Mar 2018 #62

White gunners are the only ones arming up against government and changing demographics they are Hoyt Mar 2018 #63

So the people actually killing people aren't the real danger? hack89 Mar 2018 #65

Clearly not. AzureCrest Mar 2018 #72

There would be a lot less poor on poor gun crime if you guys would quit buying more guns. Hoyt Mar 2018 #73

That makes no sense at all. hack89 Mar 2018 #74

Of course it doesn't. You are for protecting guns, no matter what. Hoyt Mar 2018 #75

Except for all the gun control laws I support, you mean? hack89 Mar 2018 #77

Your failure to answer is noted. Im going to ask you again, do you categorize them as gunners... Marengo Mar 2018 #70

Would you categorize the folks in those photos as gunners? Marengo Mar 2018 #48

We've had this argument before Hoyt.... Adrahil Mar 2018 #17

Sure. Pass real bans, that actually work. As Rubio said (to cheers): need to ban semi-autos sharedvalues Mar 2018 #53

I have no objection to being shown where I am plainly in error mac56 Mar 2018 #6

Oh of course. But the other side has their version too. Lee-Lee Mar 2018 #8

"Gunsplaining" is routinely used by your side to terminate meaningful dialogue. Paladin Mar 2018 #7

Of course it is Lee-Lee Mar 2018 #9

Got some examples of these "falsehoods?" Hoyt Mar 2018 #13

Here are some I have seen here or in sources people linked to from here : Lee-Lee Mar 2018 #20

"Well, those guys out in LA years ago, sure managed to take out the police" Not really... EX500rider Mar 2018 #104

I don't think you read your citation -- "twelve police officers and eight civilians were injured. ." Hoyt Mar 2018 #105

I know all about the events of that day and the only ones taken out as in killed were the robbers EX500rider Mar 2018 #107

Any centerfire rifle round will penetrate the typical police vest hack89 Mar 2018 #40

Guess to protect our police we'll just need to ban all ammo. Hoyt Mar 2018 #41

Good luck with that. AzureCrest Mar 2018 #51

I love DU performance art. hack89 Mar 2018 #68

Handgun bullets are cop-killers. That's why Canada, the UK, Japan and Australia all-but-ban them. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #54

We need a post recommend button. Hoyt Mar 2018 #57

I was born prior to 1957, and spent my entire life handling firearms of all types. SlimJimmy Mar 2018 #35

Exactly how much "technical depth" does it require mac56 Mar 2018 #21

Enough to formulate meaningful laws that actually do something hack89 Mar 2018 #25

Well, if you want to actually regulate them... Adrahil Mar 2018 #26

NO. Absolutely NOT. Every American can and should be pro-gun-control. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #55

How do you avoid getting rolled by the NRA again like what happened in 1994 with the AWB? hack89 Mar 2018 #69

Fight. Stand up for waht you believe in. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #78

But no place about knowledge of the things you want to regulate? hack89 Mar 2018 #81

I must have missed where all the AIDS activists in the 80s were medical researcher PhDs sharedvalues Mar 2018 #83

Then you will fail like in 1994 hack89 Mar 2018 #84

No. Grassroots advocacy is needed. Not everyone needs to be an expert. sharedvalues Mar 2018 #92

Ok. Nt hack89 Mar 2018 #98

Exactly. All else is just stalling and BS. Hoyt Mar 2018 #45

It's A) a rifle, and.... Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2018 #101

Then I guess the advertising that I posted is a hoax and not the real thing? SlimJimmy Mar 2018 #114

The advertising you posted was just that. A marketing scheme. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2018 #126

Not an assault rifle and NEVER marketed as one. SlimJimmy Mar 2018 #131

I doubt the association escaped the gun Marketeers. Hoyt Mar 2018 #46

Considering the rifle was "marketed" in 1960, I doubt it. SlimJimmy Mar 2018 #99

In what way did that poster make an excuse for shooting an innocent kid? Marengo Mar 2018 #129

Nice try, but it was "marketeered" as a hunting rifle. See my other response this thread. SlimJimmy Mar 2018 #113

For hunting people, thats why sales have taken off. White wingers love the idea. Hoyt Mar 2018 #116

No, AzureCrest Mar 2018 #118
