    It's amazing to me that they convinced so many intelligent people to fear their guns being taken away from them so much. If we could just get the normal hunter to stop believing in their bullshit, we'd all be so much better off.

    And they wouldn't even hang around to answer questions. Their anti-rape campaign should be to arm everyone with a penis.

    To be fair, I don't think they're the entire problem. The issues at hand wouldn't magically disappear if the NRA no longer existed, would they?

    That said, their blaming violent video games strikes me as ridiculous.

    no, we have to strip them of their power.

    how do you defeat a powerful lobby?

    stop taking their money and stop voting in their interests.

    it is that simple.

    look at norquist. he is struggling now. that is how you run a lobby out of DC. stop taking their money and stop doing their bidding...

    Why stop at an armed police officer in every school? Why not one on every corner? On every rooftop?

    I don't know, I don't think regular-joe criminals give a shit about the NRA. The huge gang problems we have here (and elsewhere) are affected by issues far-removed from the NRA.

    I'm not looking to change anyone's minds as it seems they're firmly made up; just offering another perspective.

    The fire department just issued a statement saying that they are now going to pour gas on to fires instead of water, because you have to fight fire with fire.

    As the NRA gets ready to dig their heels in inthe end not much if anything will get done. It's amazing the power they have in our elections on both sides.

    I hear you and I don't disagree -- the average gangbanger probably doesn't know the first thing about the NRA. But I do think the gun culture the NRA promotes enables some who aren't necessarily aware of the NRA to thrive in that culture.

    Where will the funding come from to have an armed guard in every school? Will schools need to cut other programs to offset the costs of an armed guard?
