    Look at what he/she is railing about-Christian "fascists". this entire diatribe about the NRA and lawful gun owners is based on the feeling that gun owners and the NRA are hostile to that poster's alphabet agenda. National Review noted in an article years ago, that every group that sees conservative white Christian middle class males as the enemy, invariably supports gun control. Abortion fans, the alphabet agenda, feminists, animal rights extremists, climate control hysterics, etc. The people who think dudes ought to be able to compete against girls in girls' sports are usually anti gun for example.

    I have no desire to change the constitution. I think you read too much in to what I said.

    I’m not familiar with National Review and those findings, but I’m not surprised at all.

    I accept that the left hates me, as I am white, middle class, a gun owner and have traditional Christian beliefs and values But, I sleep well enough knowing I’m in good company.

    National Review is a leading conservative publication-started by the late great William Buckley Jr. It's pretty much the flagship magazine of mainstream conservative thought in the USA over the last 68 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Review

    So you want an AUTHORITARIAN state to CONTROL We the People? Seriously?

    Since you "know statistics" please provide the data on all of the mass shootings where the gun was obtained ILLEGALLY versus LEGALLY.

    And no, I won't be "fooled" with any attempt to DEFLECT from your OBLIGATION to SUBSTANTIATE your own claims above.

    Yet another example of "thoughts and prayers" DENIALISM of the harsh REALITY that the GUN OBSESSED have IMPOSED on We the People.

    Sad!

    You make a valid point and we agree that whatever policies are to be implemented MUST be both RATIONAL and BIPARTISAN. This is a nationwide problem, no one is EXEMPT from the impact it is having on us so WE must AGREE and JOINTLY support the REGULATIONS that will ENSURE that criminals and crazies CANNOT obtain firearms.

    One of the REASON why we LACK the DATA necessary is because the NRA and the GOP deliberately STOPPED that data collection. The CDC was BANNED from collating and analyzing firearm deaths. There is no MANDATORY reporting of gun deaths by law enforcement agencies nationwide. This SKEWS the data and feeds into the DISINFORMATION being used by the GOP and NRA that the "problem" is "inner cities" because there is insufficient DATA reporting the RURAL gun deaths.

    We need to be HONEST about what is actually happening EVERYWHERE. The crime rates have more to do with POVERTY than RACE. The FIREARM deaths have more to do with UNREGULATED access to guns than it does with WHO is using them. When a woman in a household with a gun is in many times greater danger than she is in a household WITHOUT a gun that means that the PRESENCE of unregulated guns is the PROBLEM.

    Scientifically sound policies are the way to go and the MINORITY that OPPOSE them CANNOT be allowed to continue to TERRORIZE We the People.

    That BUNKUM has no factual basis in REALITY.

    The NRA is just a SALES organization for the GUN manufacturers.

    Ummmm, can I recommend you do a reality-check?

    True they (the NRA) strongly support gun safety, as they should. But, their primary purpose is to support the 2nd as outlined by the framers of The Constitution.

    Gun cultures are terrorizing our nation is the belief the news organizations you quoted want us to believe. The so-called gun culture is not to blame. It’s more like a failure of society.
    You are essentially saying the 2nd is to blame.

    Why didn't YOU explain exactly what this MEANS to YOU?

    Just ALLEGING that it was "out of context" does NOT make it out of context until you can PROVE that it was out of context.

    So go ahead and tell us what YOU believe "PEOPLE are under control" means.

    /jeopardy music starts...

    Just did in post #88 above.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...m-so-f-g-scared.613190/page-4#post-1074408776

    The REALITY is that the NRA is nothing more than the SALES organization for the Firearms Industrial Complex.

    If the NRA was actually doing as you allege then WHERE are the NRA "gun safety" measures that PREVENT criminals and crazies from obtaining guns? How much has the NRA spent on PROMOTING the Universal Background Checks that 88% of We the People support?

    The ACTIONS of the NRA tell us the TRUTH that the NRA is part of the PROBLEM.

    So you are BLAMING the VICTIMS now?

    How is "society" supposed to STOP the NRA's gun culture that is FUNDED by the Firearms Industrial Complex that also FUNDS the GOP?

    As a society 88% of We the People OPPOSE the NRA's gun culture.

    But ALL that the GOP does in Congress is "thoughts and prayers".

    Domestic Terrorism armed by the NRA's gun culture is the PROBLEM that MUST be resolved.

    Blaming the victims is NOT acceptable.

    Those students are going be VOTING in 2024 and I don't need to be a fortune teller to KNOW that they will be voting BLUE!

    Thanks for CONFIRMING that you CANNOT provide any JUSTIFICATION for that "people under control" BS thereby NEGATING your own "out of context" allegation.

    BTW you should also remind yourself to actually OBEY the TOS.

    While you obsess on the gun, we focus on the truth. So it doesn't make us obsessed to address your obsession. But it is somewhat comical to watch you pretend to actually be the reasonable party. Everything in freedom is about that which one chooses to do with it. So we make laws to guide us. And establish a system of justice to deal with law breakers. From them, liberties are removed. We do not remove liberties from the law abiding because it would go to say that liberty itself is a crime, and make us traitors to our own nation and to the God of our nations origin, and make a mockery of the American revolution for independence. To use a gun to murder, and then to blame the gun, is the hand and voice of the same devil. So don't pretend to be anyone's savior. Our nation is flush with regulations of our firearms. What we need are more good Americans.

    To provide statistics one would have to know your definition of “mass shooting”.

    Using the definition of mass shooting used to determine most guns used are obtained legally, we find that annually more people die of peanuts, yes, peanuts, than mass shootings fitting the definition used in determining source of mass shooter weapons.

    The Democrats are responsible for failing to police crime.

    Ultra-woke Oakland DA wants to lower prison time and abolish sentencing enhancements even for MURDERERS - employees say directive is 'catastrophic to the safety of the community'
