Better be part of a successful solution or else the solution will be decided for you!

I actually hope Dana Loesch keeps blabbing without a filter on her pie-hole. She will effectively weaken the NRA through lost sponsorship, political support, membership, etc...

The NRA is too powerful, when it dictates to our leaders about laws. That's what I can't stand. Why should an American corporation be allowed to tell the president and members of congress how to run our country.

The NRA should go back to safety and advising, not buying the majority of leaders so they can support gun manufacturers. I try to vote for the best leaders, to make our country safe and sound. The NRA has never been on a ballot. (It's there, just hidden.) The NRA is too powerful and cocky. IMO

We just need to make it harder for nuts to get guns, is that so hard to comprehend?

We need safe schools, concert venues, churches, shopping malls, public places, where innocent people try to go about their lives.

Why is it most of the school killings are usually by a student of that school or a former student?

As you wish.

Dana Loesch will anger enough citizens to get the 2nd curtailed.

Enforce existing laws
Harden schools, and get rid of Gun Free Zones
The NRA has been truing to tie mental health problems to the Instant Background Check System for years
Institute a VOLUNTARY program for firearm carry by teachers like the Airline Pilots have

There's the successful solution, not more ineffective, illegal gun bans.

Ok, post up when you've accomplished that. In the mean time 2018 will probably have record gun sales.

The NRA is registered as a non-profit. Can't engage in businesses which require large capital investment. They can, however, pay LaPierre a sinful amount of money in salary and bonuses.

They will just have to seek another partner for their kickbacks.

Haven't heard a single thing suggested coming from the politicians. A couple of things that aren't a bad idea but nothing that will make a significant change.

Get going then. If these mass solutions stop as a result of implementation of the above, good. If not, we will find a better solution.



However, you might be surprised to learn that the NRA lobbied against background checks of the mentally ill.
NRA: The mentally ill have gun rights, too

Also, airline pilots do not carry guns.
