What happened yesterday is the NRA's wet dream.

Or at least it should be.

The need for all to have many and all kinds of guns to revolt against a gov't that is taking your life and liberty.. Maybe that only works for white people though huh, or in made up fantasies about having to take on your gov't with your guns...

Most people know this is a bunch of bullshit and plays out like we saw yesterday... So what's up next NRA? What is the next cool talking point?

and I am positive there were plenty of law-abiding citizens with guns. Why didn't they stop the rampage?

The NRA and gun rights absolutists keep telling me that all we need is guns, so my question is, where were they?

I am saying the NRA breeds this shit, and then when it actually happens, it isn't such a lovely thought is it.

You know.. you need your guns to protect yourself from the govt.

Some persons did just that yesterday. It wasn't a pretty sight and it wasn't the right thing to do. So what they got to say about that type of crap now. Silence is my guess.

I said that because he has literally called every mass shooting since Sandy Hook a false flag including Sandy Hook. Orlando? False flag. Vegas? False flag. I'm sure he will do the same thing here. Or he'll call for a race war.
