From the National Rifle Association . . .
The NRA is made up of millions of law-abiding men and women. We are parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, whose hearts break every time a crime is committed or tragedy occurs. We grieve with all of America, regardless of party or political affiliation because these are human tragedies, not political opportunities.
The National Rifle Association of America supports substantive policies and real solutions that will make a difference. Policies that will not only address these tragic and evil acts that dominate the headlines, but also the catastrophic loss of life that happens too often as a direct consequence of the current crime epidemic that plagues our nation.
The NRA has long supported securing our schools so that our teachers and children will be safe. We support strict enforcement of all our nation’s laws that target violent criminals. We support prosecution and punishment of criminals who break these laws. Indeed, the NRA supports the arrest, prosecution and punishment of any violent criminal or other dangerous prohibited person who tries to purchase or possess a firearm.
We support fully funding law-enforcement agencies. And, we wholeheartedly support the right of any law-abiding American to defend themselves and their loved ones. Even though it’s rarely reported, more than a million law abiding Americans use firearms in self-defense every year – most without ever firing a shot.
What we don’t support are senseless policies like no-cash bail that create a revolving door justice system that only endangers good citizens. And, we will fight any proposal that will disarm law-abiding Americans.
And, America does have a critical mental health crisis. Many are sick, too few people are able to recognize their illness, and even less get help. The sad reality is there are too few resources for those who need it. Over the last 60 years, the number of beds available at psychiatric hospitals in America has dropped by 96 percent. In 1955, there were an estimated 340 beds per 100,000 people with mental health illnesses. In 2016, that number fell to 11.7 beds per 100,000 people. We must find a way to reach these people before they hurt themselves or others. And, we must fund places for these people to find refuge and treatment.
But, instead of acting on functional measures and real solutions that when implemented will reduce crime and will help those with dangerous behavioral health issues, all that the President repeatedly proposes will only infringe on the rights of those law-abiding who have never, and will never, commit a crime. This isn’t a real solution, it isn’t true leadership, and it isn’t what America needs.
How has the ban on drugs worked out?
FJB
This has nothing to do with American’s safety, like everything else, it’s all about control!
You backwards people who worship your sky daddies and cling to your guns, would not embrace the “change”.
A “Great Reset” was necessary to force you to change. Yet even after a Summer of Love, a bolstered 2020 election, and a “highly managed” global pandemic, you continue to resist the necessary change.
Therefore seeing how you are essentially the main impediment to one world governance, and we could not implement the Australian Model of Covid Camps nor a national Vaccine Passport System here because of potential armed resistance, we need to remove that ability to further resist, by taking your Weapons of War.
Our Billionaires are buying your farmland and your houses. You will own nothing and you will be happy.

I’m not religious. But I’ll engage your assumptions anyways…
You really think that 2020/2021 was for “change”? lol. It’s pretty clear that failed attempt on both sides was not even close to violent enough to force change, and you are making so many assumptions they are not even worth addressing. You go totally off the rails ranting about billionaires, religion, and previous protests over that simple of a sentence? You think the people who stood back and waited in their homes are the problem? Bruh… your hive mind worker bee’s destroyed cities and the government you are criticizing used force to stop them, lol. So, tell me again who is the bad guy? Are you referring to the small percentage of people who support that “thin blue line” bullshit? And leaving out the ones that terrorized local businesses and cities so they could camp for a week? ok then…
Also, “you’re” includes you. Dummy. It’s pretty obvious you are the one he was referring to and you don’t even fight it. Controlled. Did you really just threaten the entire world with a Nazi like take over?
Yes. Yes you did.
Musk, Zuckerberg, Trump, and Dorsey are so proud of you.
Your kind believe in “collective punishments”. Gun owners will become the new kulaks.
Minor MINER49er. Wrong again, Lefty. I can’t raise and eyebrow for your world economic forum. Somehow I doubt that they have a crystal ball. My great reset is loading a new magazine.
MINOR Miner49er You Leftists are in for a rude awakening. Try taking my guns. See what you get?
Yeah, fuck the kids. We need more guns. We need to create an environment where our kids have to have heavily armed guards watching them so they won’t have their brains splattered all over the walls.
Oh wait. We already have that. I wonder why that could be? It must be all the idiots who love guns, because it sure as shit isn’t my fault. Why don’t you gun idiots own up to the fact that YOU created this problem? It is YOUR fault we keep having these shootings.
Stop trying to blame the “bad guys.” It’s not the bad guys who are the ones promoting more guns every time this happens. It’s you all. YOU FUCKING IDIOTS ARE AT FAULT FOR THE COUNTRY WE NOW LIVE IN. If it weren’t for the gun lobby and you morons, we wouldn’t have 200 million firearms floating around out there.
Also, the 2nd Amendment wasn’t written by God, and it was definitely NOT about individuals. Even if it were, it can and should be changed. The Supreme Court is a corrupt, political organization and that is the ONLY reason they suddenly decided to adopt the opinion that the founding fathers meant for everyone to be packing. Prior to that, not a single time did the court even touch the 2nd Amendment.
Doesn’t matter to me anyway. We are talking about guns killing people. I don’t give a fuck about your 2nd Amendment rights. I care about the children being slaughtered.
You all are either delusional, or you know it is wrong, but you just don’t care. Either way, it is your fault we are having this problem. And more guns are only going to make it worse. Period.
There are certain times someone posts a comment, that is so devoid of ANY truth, you just yawn, note the name (so as to avoid reading another unhinged rant) and move on.
Therefore so noted –> Chris Henley = ranting lunatic, on ignore.
This. At this point it’s just laughable.
“Fuck the kids”. Get a life dude. Literally the reason why I stopped being sympathetic to their cries. Nobody is forcing them to send their kids anywhere that is “unsafe”.
Obstructing or forcibly denying ones Civil Rights is a crime in which lethal force is allowable.
I look forward to it, asshat.
I didn’t create the weapon. Not my problem.
And yes, it is your fault. Your idea of safe involves indoctrination and public schools. Public everything, really…
Didn’t bother reading what you actually said beyond that… Really not worth it.
Henley, For your edification the Constitution was written for all people of the US. The problem with the Constitution is that is stymies your Leftist-Socialist desire to control the population.
Where do we have “heavily armed guards watching over our children”? You must live in deam land.
Psst! IT’s the bad guys who was using an inanimate object, a gun, to wreak violence on people When will you Leftist-Socialists be willing to do something about violent people instead of attacking an inanimate object incapable of acting on its own?
Hi stupid person the real number of guns inn this country is over 330 million. The FBI and ATF state. Also about 2 Trillion rounds. So Please do something. Remember “you can’t fix stupid.”
Dummy 811
“not political opportunities”? Please, the left is all over these tragedies as a means to their disturbed ends.
I am not on the idiot left or the idiot right. I haven’t voted ever. I am speaking as an individual who thinks you gun nuts are probably the dumbest sheep out there. You morons actually believe that George and Co. wanted everyone to walk around with a gun just in case they needed to overthrow their own government? Are you fucking stupid?
Yes. Yes, I believe all of you are. What’s the collective IQ of the members of this forum? I am guessing that number hovers around 90 total, give or take.
So, you don’t do anything outside of keyboard warrioring? Whodathunkit?
No worries buddy, we view you anti gunners the same way. Low IQ, all talk, and full of themselves to the point where they have nothing better to do that smear blood on their face and shout “look what you did”.
Henley, then you are one of the reasons we have the terrible situation we have. Speaking of dumb. No, George and co. wanted us to be able to defend ourselves against tyrannical psychopaths.
bye then isn’t a leader and is not what america needs.
ookraeena is a giant maytag for him and a speed queen for his offspring.
Slow Joe & Castreau in Canaduh just sold millions of gunz!
Biden and leadership are not terms I use together.
Yeah Biden is rather limp, but then Trump is a fucking idiot. Not sure who should be in that office, but I can tell you it won’t matter. The president is just a figurehead.
You don’t vote, so you have no say.
Henley, It seems you have a perception problem. Trump did more as president than Obuma the Phony did in his eight year debacle. Seems you have a problem with figuring out what a “fucking idiot” actually is.
Dangerous prohibited person? Bernie Madoff could legally own a firearm once he completed his supervised release assuming he lived long enough to do so and that guy stole 60 billion dollars. Don’t believe me? It’s right there in the gun control act that white-collar Federal felons will not receive a lifetime ban . The people that wrote the gun control act used the prohibited persons list as a backdoor to total weapons ban because their intent was to eventually make everyone a prohibited person and that’s not my opinion, that was their stated goal and it’s also why the NRA became very political a few years after the passage of the gun control Act. People convicted of a non violent felony should have their firearms rights restored once they have completed the terms of their sentence. Leaving a lifetime ban in place gives the government too much power to ban guns for everyone.
Well my heart breaks everytime Wayne LaPierre gets in his private jet.
Wayne doesn’t have a private jet, it belongs to the NRA. Wayne also is alienating the majority of NRA members and he needs to resign immediately
The NRA doesn’t own a jet. Wayne overpaid an unregistered travel agent in California $7k per month to do the bookings, in addition to the actual cost of hiring the jet and pilot. The jets were used for the private travel of Wayne, his family members (like wife’s niece) without him, and others.
As nowita will point out, it’s better that Wayne spent the members’ money on himself than on silly things like training, competition, or supporting 2A. Blaspheming against the sainted WLP is playing into the antis’ hands.
Lol.
Get rid of Lapierre and his board and START FRESH and I will consider re-joining. In the meantime, I will remember him and his private jet every time I pump $5.00 or more gas into my car.
The NRA is a useless organzation.
JOE BIDET.
1985 Joe Biden: “During my 12 and a half years as a member of this body, I have never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime. I am convinced that a criminal who wants a firearm can get one through illegal, nontraceable, unregistered sources, with or without gun control,” he continued.”

WELL TWO SIDES TO THE COIN AS THEY SAY .
AGREE ON ONE THING , TEENS WANT ANYTHING LARGER THAN A 22LR PISTOL OR RIFLE MUST WAIT TILL 21 OR JOIN THE MILITARY … …

The FBI or DNCC maybe..18 to 20 year olds need to say hell no to the military right now..because of the woke sissy military we now have (I am a vet btw)…until we have REAL leadership… but we will all probably be glowing in the dark soon thanks to the moron in charge..
A RESPONSIBLE parent would provide each of their kids an AR/handgun along with other critical items at the proper time. All 4 of mine rcvd their AR (parts set to assemble) at 16. Part of the militia of citizens.

Don’t click any twitter link… ever.
Problem solved.
Chris Henley: I welcome cretins as you and your Liberal cronies to walk up on my porch and attempt to take my guns. You’ll find out in real time what the 2nd Amendment means as they carry you off in body bags for the morgue . Your blathering stupidity reeks of the ironic actions that need to be addressed in America. Enjoy your 1st Amendment right to bitch ,but keep it to yourself !
Banning bidens would be a good place to start!
