NRA goes Silent after Gun Massacre

[Calamari]

You can if you want to.

[ivanbalt]

Let's also blame the inventor of guns and ammo.

Calamari can't link the inventor of guns/ammo to the Tea Party or Republicans.

Oh, that's right: the NRA doesn't actually issue press releases on every action involving guns, and people actually have free will to use them for a variety of purposes.

Being the NRA they pick and choose, but if it makes national news or is a national tragedy then more than likely they will say something but you knew that already.

People do have free will to use guns but not to murder and massacre innocence people, but you knew that too.

The NRA finally came out of hiding and put forth an effort of condolences to the families and citizens of Newtown.



"The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again," the group said"

We shall see how meaningful you are which I doubt is much.

So you wanted them to say something, and when they do you of course doubt what they said. Gee .. wonder why they took time issue a statement?

[RavnFreek]

They just made sure he had easy access to 30 round magazines where he lived.

So now its the high capacity magazine's fault?

The NRA issued the press release yesterday and it was self explanatory why they waited to issue. Unlike llubon who would have blasted them one way or the other and is a day late and a dollar short, they have class.

Anybody with an internet connection, anywhere in the world, can get those magazines.

Beyond that, to imply that this wouldn't have happened if we had just a few more laws is absurd.

I really like how we have some pols in Baltimore city piggybacking on this event to press for assault weapons bans or high capacity mag bans, as if the violence Baltimore faces has anything to do with that stuff..

In Baltimore, it's 250 a year minimum, 2500 killings every ten years, but I guess since those thugs don't use the scary looking guns it's ignored?

I guess your side needs lots more little white kids getting killed, since the young black man carnage (which dwarfs situations like Sandy Hook) doesn't seem to get any traction.

IMO, thats because city leaders and liberals have long since realized they can't do anything about the constant daily gun violence in their own back yards. Pointing a finger directly at those responsible is an idea long ago rejected.

I just ordered 4 more 30 round magazines, and two 73 round drums for my M70....I should make a pretty penny selling half of them if a ban is announced...if not, I will rarely have to reload at the range

Win-Win

The standard libbie knee-jerk overly-emotional response will make me a nice profit.....

Sucker.

But why, in God's name, would anyone leave firearms about with somebody they suspected of mental illness?

No kidding.

Denial is a powerful force, especially when one's kids are involved.

BTW WESB, your other posts on this thread are spot on.

[Dryfire]

Sucker.

Nah, I'd call Diego a PreemptiveAttackPlanR

[cantabene]

When the NRA does speak it will be a master class in the spinner's art--and fascinating to watch the NRA's attempts to rationalize the murders of children in the promotion of "gun rights."

[Calamari]

It was nice of them to show a little shame for a while though, a nice change from their old habit of holding a convention there afterwards.

[Mom49of4]

There is nothing that the NRA needs to feel shameful about - they did not pull the trigger on the 26 victims.

They did not pull the trigger but they sure have blood on their hands enabling it to happen.

Exactly!

How did the NRA allow a deranged psycho to break innumerous (someone said over 40, if I'm not mistaken) gun laws?

That is my question as well. I guess society is looking for someone to blame instead of the person who did the actual deed.
