    Is that what you call burning buildings, protests?  Sounds like she is just calling to fight fire with fire.  These "protesters" may want to read up on the Castle Doctrine a bit.

    Your own link shows that the castle doctrine applied to places like an individual's home or car, which has absolutely nothing to do with either these protests or the hatred being pushed by that NRA statement.

    More than your home or car, but any or your property.  It seems relevant in that it is often the case where "protesters" set fire to businesses or try to open people's car doors.  Not to mention, this Antifa crowd that tries to fuck up everything in their path.  I gather that this message is more directed at them than the snowflakes wearing pussy hats.

    That video was a call to escalate violence, plain and simple.

    To defend that video puts you in an extremest category. I don't think you are, so please don't defend the indefensible.

    So counter protesting is the same as escalating violence?  It seems more like a "hold your ground" message, but you can try and twist it any way you see fit.  I would counter that defending these violent protesters puts you in an equally extremist category.  Seems like you guys are butt hurt that other Americans with apposing views are ready to resist and stand up against the violent protesters.

    It's nuts. The NRA is clearly escalating fear to push policy, sell more guns and the easily duped eat it up.

    They are hurting your country.

    You're right.  Those Antifa fucksticks are pathetic and should mostly be written off as dumbasses with too much time on their hands.  Nothing to see here.

    Before Waco and  before Ruby Ridge there was the state sanctioned bombing of the MOVE headquarters in Philadelphia in which 11 people died. I wonder why you paranoid extreme gun rights advocates and libertarians never cite it when deploring government malfeasance and oppression?

    The alt-right is itching for reasons to escalate to violence. Some groups are pretty open about it on social media; I guess with the NRA they are going mainstream about it.

    I, personally, had never really heard of this incident.  I was pretty young when it happened though...From what I just read, it seems like another big cluster fuck on the level of Waco and Ruby Ridge though.

    Any question that the NRA had transformed from a civil rights organization into a full on far right white nationalist group evaporated in the deafening silence of their nonresponse to the Philando Castile verdict.

    The Right/GOP/Conservatives are so inept, so profoundly ignorant, close minded and foolish they don't even know how to win right. Even from a position of holding a super majority in government they cant function without operating from a baseline of being scared and terrified of the liberal menace.  They're scared, insecure and intimidated by a rapidly changing world.  These aren't Americans with opposing views, they're cowards.

    There have been a lot of members that have spoken with their $ about this and verbally condemned the lack of response.  Castile did not deserve to get shot and no justice was serviced by the legal system in that incident.  The NRA truly need to get some new PR people in there. They are truly only good at lobbying these days.  There are plenty of lesser known gun rights organizations out there that handle their shit better than the NRA.  Regardless, I still think it's funny how many people were "triggered" by the mostly non-substantial video above.

    I doubt you would find it so lacking in substance if it was made by, and targeted toward, the more radical faction of liberals that you so enjoy opposing.

    read up on the MOVE story instead of just putting a misleading headline out there.  There was way more to the story than just a state sanction bombing. they were as culpable in the incident as the police.

    Yeah, just like them, but backed by a huge and powerful mainstream group.

    The rest of the post, and many of yours on the topic, places you on the same level of maturity as the crybabies.
    There's the crybabies, and then there's the babies that laugh at the crying babies.

    Then there's the adults.

    It's nuts. The NRA is clearly escalating fear to push policy, sell more guns and the easily duped eat it up.

    The are hurting you're country.
    Any question that the NRA had transformed from a civil rights organization into a full on far right white nationalist group evaporated in the deafening silence of their nonresponse to the Philando Castile verdict.
    It has been pretty clear from the start, but yeah, their silence on that case has been deafening.
    There have been a lot of members that have spoken with their $ about this and verbally condemned the lack of response.  Castile did not deserve to get shot and no justice was serviced by the legal system in that incident.  The NRA truly need to get some new PR people in there. They are truly only good at lobbying these days.  There are plenty of lesser known gun rights organizations out there that handle their shit better than the NRA.  Regardless, I still think it's funny how many people were "triggered" by the mostly non-substantial video above.  
    triggered, what a stupid phrase.  

    It is actually a pretty legitimate psychological term.  Sorry that the term "triggered" triggers your anger.

    It may be a legitimate term, but that doesn't mean you're using it correctly.

    I don't think I use it out of context when describing "triggered" emotional responses from non-substantial videos.  Similarly, my eye rolls are triggered by the triggered emotional responses.
