So the NRA's answer is more guns, more guns, more guns!

Predictably, the NRA thinks the solution to gun violence is MORE GUNS, and getting rid of "gun-free" zones.

If EVERYONE is armed, then we'd have less gun violence!

How can ANYBODY support this insanity is beyond me.

I didn't expect their organization to find a heart since their purpose is gun's for all.

The NRA stated violent video games are to blame for gun violence. Guess who has a series of violent video games? Time to regulate the profiteers of violent video games!

Guns are the answer to making us safer, guns are the answer to stopping gun violence.

The Gun Nuts can only think in terms of MORE FUCKING GUNS!

They've pitted the 1st and 4th Amendment against the second. They are calling for censorship, privacy invasion and a police state so that they can keep their magic boomsticks. I'm not anti-gun but if this is really the only alternative to having guns? I guess I'd give in. I'd rather lose the 2d to protect the 1st & 4th because once those are gone, the 2d won't matter.
