Yonadav: The Catholic church thanks you for mentioning the Catholic church.
You are such a fucking idiot. The NRA is basically a sales representative for guns. They profit on publicity. Gun manufacturers give them kickbacks for all of the publicity the NRA gets. The NRA would have almost no power at all, if it were not for the constant attention that the media gives to it. Most people would have never heard of the NRA, were it not for the attention that the media gives to the NRA. The NRA's power really is rooted in the amount of publicity it gets. Like Donald Trump, the NRA thrives on media attention. The NRA would be a tiny little pathetic organization, if it were not for the constant blathering about them that the media does. Gun manufacturers would pay for ad space in their magazines, but they wouldn't give them kickbacks on gun sales.
The Catholic Church doesn't thrive on all of the media attention that it gets for pedo priests. So your conflation is idiotic.
NO, you are an idiot. I agree that the NRA is nothing but a protection racket, but that is like saying if we just ignore the Mafia they will go away. Not all Mafia bosses sought attention like Gotti. But no matter the individual's style the mafia still exists.
What would you have media do? Say nothing after a Newtown or Parkland? We should never point out that we have far more firearm violence than any other western first world ally? The NRA and industry are going to always do what they think works, that is not an excuse to do nothing or never try to counter their narrative.
This is like telling a rape victim they shouldn't have worn that short skirt. I think anyone who has lost a loved one to firearm violence, be it suicide, or domestic or workplace grudge, or racist, or robbery, or terrorism, or mass shooting, has every right in the world to say something to our politicians and to tell the NRA to fuck off.
