Not likely. That assumes that they don't actually support ISIS widely. Which is BS. The populations of Iraq and Syria outnumber ISIS by more than 1000:1. If Muslims didn't widely support ISIS there would be no ISIS.

Being a member of the NRA doesn't guarantee that member is any less psychotic or apt to damage with a gun than the next person. For all we know many members joined the NRA as a cover and could be another way for a terrorist to infiltrate into society. Sure that's just a conspiracy theory, but I grow tired of the holier than thou gun toter who thinks the NRA is the God Group of gun ownership.

I've said it many times before, that I feel the NRA epically fails at trying to help with the problem. I grow weary of the majority of the time listening to the NRA tout freedom to own a gun, and how a few wreck it for the rest. All truths, but it doesn't get to the issue. The most powerful gun lobby in the world lays back with all of these incidents around and mostly plays the silent card. Or, it's the victim's fault because they themselves didn't have a conceal permit and were not able to help themselves. Please.

The NRA could easily be speaking alongside the president vowing to help, but that's not going to happen.

BTW....there are nearly twice as many NRA members in the US as there are Muslims. If NRA members committed mass shootings at anywhere near the rate of Muslims, I think it's a pretty safe bet you'd hear about it.
NRA members is not the problem with the NRA. It's the NRA leadership and political buying of politicians to insure the NRA real purpose .... facilitate the selling of more guns and ammo.

I have to wonder, now that Clinton is proving herself to be a suitable heir for Oblubber, and is continuing the ISIS apology tour that has been in place for years...is she killing her campaign? The American people aren't complete morons (Obama's election and Sanders support not withstanding). Most people see through her demonizing the 6 million members of the NRA who had absolutely nothing to do with this horrific act. As do most that recognize that the group she defends and actively promotes with special treatment with regard to our immigration laws is directly responsible and is simply doing as their pedophile prophet commanded. Most people are disgusted by the lies and deceit.

Is ignorance a requirement to join the anti-gun crusade? Or do anti-gun groups just turn their members into desperate losers? Kind of like Islam-does it attract violent, ignorant loons, or does it warm otherwise normal people with it's constant promotion of hate and slaughter?

OH, btw, now that we're on page 4...where is that list of mass shootings by NRA members?

Could you provide a link to your statement?

Can't even keep the terrorists on the watch list gun free. Terrorists have rights, you know. If they want to buy a few semi automatics and shoot up a bar, well, what could WE have done to stop them? Shall not be infringed, you know.
The FBI was watching this guy, why would NRA be involved? How many of us are interviewed by the FBI?


This is insane people are stupid enough to think the government isn't the one dropping the ball. The guy had co-workers complain about the guy and guess what they mentioned his faith in Islam, was an issue.


I haven't heard his NRA membership was conflicting with his Islamic faith. Gay and Islamic......you take the guess!

I to wondered about this......unless this gay connection is the real reason these men are not taking up arms and fighting to the death. Beginning to see why women are hated over there and it has nothing to do with keeping them in line for their own good.

Who knows, but I'm always amused by the morons who babble incessantly about how bad guns are, yet they, themselves either own guns or have body guards. They don't seem to have a clue how foolish they are.

Funny, I don't see Mr. LaPierre posting to this discussion thread. Is he poking and prodding you in an attempt to disable your posting abilities?
