Remember the SCOTUS ruled that money is freedom of speech. I guess that is where the term, "put your money where your mouth is," comes from.
I would say .. good!! If that was actually what you're doing. Since your "we" is pointedly ignoring the cnn talking head, who had said far worse than ingraham, then, it appears you really don't care about the "hateful rhetoric" that is aimed at the survivors.

How many school shooters were NRA members?

Uhm, none?

If any were members you'd better believe the msm would ferret that info out and it would be a major talking point when talking about those shootings.

And when the Government comes and forces you into a labor camp--there will be no one left to fight..
Yep. Deniers need to study history. I'm sure the people who had lived under the rule of stalin, hitler, mao, etc. had never dreamed that things like that could happen to them either.

My problem with the NRA is their self-defeating lobbying against reasonable gun regulations that help keep guns out the hands of criminals, teenagers and mental patients. If you want guns for protection, you *should* be concerned about who else gets to own them. Making them readily available to anyone with no restrictions is counterproductive to your safety. This coming from a gun enthusiast but non-NRA fan.

There already is restrictions. If people had not bent over backwards to do things to keep kids from having a record then it is not the NRA's fault. The cops were called to the home 39 times, that is at least 36 times too many for the shooter to not have it on his record. Many things such as that had happened and were ignored, simply because of that dimwitted program of making sure kids are not responsible for their actions.

If the age to own a gun was 21, he would have been arrested and his guns taken away on the first encounter.

Guns taken away maybe, maybe not, but not arrested. They were trying to keep kids from having records, arresting him would have given him a record, for that matter, taking his guns would have ended up on his record...so no guns would have been taken and there would have been no arrest.

If they had bothered to put things on his record then he may not have been able to buy the guns to begin with, if he already had guns then they might have been taken away from him. Rules and laws need to be followed, they are put in place for a reason. The obama policy was made to undermine those rules and laws.

People need to stop wildly pointing fingers. The shooter is ultimately responsible, followed by everyone who allowed him and his actions to fall through the cracks, followed by the idiots who sat outside on their thumbs while the shooting was happening.


You can get all of the rules and laws put in place that you want, but if no one follows them then it makes no difference.

That's how conservatives support the "Free Speech" they claim to love.

I feel like that's everyone's problem with the NRA. That's all we are saying.

Which "CNN talking head" said 'far worse than Ingrahm' and what did he/she say? Prove your statement - otherwise, it's just another fallacy.
