It is completely material to the discussion because the NRA DOES advocate that being armed is the only way to live a happy, long life in the US. More guns. Protect yourself. Over and over. Please don't try to lie your way out of that one.

No they dont.. the NRA advocates you having the RIGHT to arm yourself, IF YOU CHOOSE TO.. Show me ONE example of them advocating a law requiring everyone carry a gun..

Making false claims like you just said is utter bull crap and you know it.

The obvious answer is that he can't conceal carry unless he is 21.

Strawman, nobody said the NRA supports mandatory carrying.

Is the NRA ok with a ban on conceal and carry for 18 year olds, 17 year olds, 20 year olds???

If the NRA comes out and states that Martin should have been armed, then that would be them mandating carrying..

Really, is it that difficult for you?

Maybe you can provide us a link so we can stop laughing at this post.

There are to many mentals and nut jobs out there to want everyone carrying.

I certainly would not want Don Draper carrying a weapon if he did not want.

Nonsense and you know it. Everyone should respect their mothers, doesn't mean I support making it mandatory.

Then why would you expect the NRA to come out and suggest such a thing?

Yes, blacks generally vote Democratic so they are happy he is dead.
