Nationwide A March For Our Lives

[Brian37]

Everyone knows that guns are dangerous, nutters buy them because they're dangerous, to do dangerous things to the dangerous people they think are lurking behind every taco truck and fried chicken hut.  The more you play up the danger of guns or the danger of guns in our society the more that subset feels they need one.

Just roll with it, man, find some solution that plays to their irrationality rather than one which sets up an adversarial relationship.

"Everyone knows that guns are dangerous"

No they don't. Australia and Scotland do know that. Not enough Americans do.

Coming from the right those are hollow words. 

We had a shooting range named "Burgers and Bullets" where a little girl killed her instructor because the ADULTS, both the parents and range thought letting a girl handle an Uzi would be just peachy. 

If you want to claim RIGHTFULLY that "everyone" knows that guns are dangerous, AND I AGREE, then why do we see so much firearm injury and death that our allies don't seem to have like we do?

"Adversarial relationship"

Who the fuck wants that? I'd LOVE America to have LESS firearm death. 

I don't think you know the history of the NRA marketing over the past 40 years. When it started long before even 40 years ago, it would have been an org I would have supported. But, back in the late 70s it got hijacked by the industry and became a mere profit lobby.

I AM NOT the enemy of firearm owners. I am the enemy of greed and any lobby that puts profits over safety.

Just like I am not the enemy of energy, just pollution. 

We've been held hostage by one industry and one corporate lobby. NONE of that is calling for an all out ban. It is just saying we cannot do what we are doing because it isn't working.

If the NRA sold "firearms are dangerous" I'd have no problem with them. They sell it as a right not a right with responsibilities.
