The NRA is run by big gun manufactures.  They won't care about what you send them as long as they keep selling guns.  You need to vote out of office people who support everyone having a gun.  And that includes both the democratic and republican party

Who is down for going over there with a thank you card and balloons? I need someone to record.

it make no sense to go there.  Go to washington dc and protest in front of the white house or capital hill.  you need to change the laws. 

what people should do, if they really do care is organize… and in the US that takes money… create a lobby for gun control… support gun control candidates…. target gun "rights" candidates.. the opposite of the NRA basically

10 million people * 100$ is $100 million for starters


what people will do? everyone will talk about how sad they are..their hearts go out blah blah blah… it will make them feel a bit better… they'll do nothing… something about "may god comfort the victims..".. wait, did God let this happen? No, thats too much..dont go there..

repeat after next mass shooting..maybe next one will be in a hospital ward with babies.

mass shootings are just one facet of the problem. how many people get killed by handguns in this country a year?  20,000?

very true..

wait a minute..
correction

10 million people * 100 is    US$  1 billion not $100 million

fuck the second amendment

white house says today is not the day to talk about gun control.  I guess just like the one in the movie theater wasn't the time to talk about gun control.  If today isn't a day to talk about gun control, when is?

it's never a good time.  on a day like today, it's "politicizing a tragedy" and "let's just think of the victims".  on any other day, it's "why are you bringing this up? gun control isn't a problem, don't stir things up!".  rather convenient…

no, it's there and we won't get rid of it any time soon IMO.  instead, let's return to it's original intent.  ya want guns?  fine, prove that you're part of a "well regulated militia": you have a chain of command. train as a group, stay in barracks, can be told to surrender your guns by your superiors, you have a mission, etc.  anyone who can't adhere to this is just a yahoo who want to own a flame-thrower.  fuck District of Columbia v. Heller.

people don't need to be in militias.  People do not need guns to hunt.  Use a bow if you want to kill something.  It isn't like the constitution can't be changed.  We don't have slaves anymore.  We don't need guns. 

it's worth noting that yesterday, a similar attack occurred in China. 22 kids attacked, fatality rate 0% - because he used a knife.

You don't have 2/3 of both Houses either, let alone 3/4 of the states. Tens of thousand of proposals with only 17 constitutional amendments since its initial conception.  That's not the proper route for gun control.

bingo

ever since obama was elected/re-elected people have been buying guns and ammo in record numbers. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and his 10-year-old daughter Liza went hunting over Thanksgiving weekend his daughter killed her first deer.

we should have an organization that studies people, whether in group situations or individual accounts if it gets that far.  they find the ones that are there, that stand out from the rest and find them early.  you know the ones i speak of, for they are so recognizable in school.  early on.  crazy people are not our friend.  crazy people do horrific things like this.  crazy people did oklahoma, colorado and now connecticut.  get rid of crazy people . . . not guns.  guns protect, just like sane people protect.  the end.

Ok hitler.  What next get rid of the jews and gays?

yeah i guess i should have said "get rid of" meaning putting them away in jail like facilities run by corporations making a killing like the prison system we have here in our country.  get them off the streets.  not kill them.  well . . . not right away. that did seem kinda of hitlerish there at first.  good call, whoever you are.   i knew my kind words elsewhere were not in vain.

Walkie, are you a card carrying NRA member? Seriously asking.
That has been their line of propaganda bullshit for as long as I have been alive and most likely much longer.
