A majority have a favorable opinion of the NRA
That means they are right.
Why do you oppose common sense NRA support?


i don't, i feel everyone should be free to support the NRA.
you know what an even bigger majority DON'T support though? the NRA (or anyone else for that matter) making campaign donations to politicians to influence their policy.

should have thought that through, buddy.

Didn't answer the question.

You should support the NRA. You aren't a fringe radical being paid off to not like the NRA are you?

57% opposed assault weapons bans too.

Why are you going against the will of the majority?

Legitimately held beliefs aren't an option in the face of opinion polling.

in reality politician's implementation of NRA policy choices is 2 fold, 1 part donation hackery, 1 part actually doing what the population that supports the NRA's policy implemented to stay in office.

people equate the NRA to big Pharma, when in fact public support for Big pharma is comparably small. like minute in comparison to the NRA.

nice dodge on the lobbying point, and a complete hack job rephrasing what i actually said there. complete trash...



oh of course, when all else fails play the native card. we've been over this, and i explained to you that societies change with time. guess what, i 'grew up where they slaughtered minorities, including women and children' as well. i still don't think that everyone having guns would make our society today safer because it simply doesn't make any fucking sense if you look at the statistics.

apart from the abysmal training that american cops have, do you know what's also a reason they shoot so many people? because the likelihood of them having a firearm on them is obviously incredibly high, making everyone a potentially lethal threat. you can't always look at a problem exclusively from the one side that suits your narrative...


The poor have 2 sources of power. Their right to vote and their right to arm themselves. When either are infringed upon they suffer at the hands of power

You want those with a history of being abused to hand over their arms to their abusers so people determined to kill easily switch weapons or just still get guns anyway?

Right left middle doesn't matter to me their right to a vote and a firearm shouldn't be touched a very large majority of the time

he is being paid off, but by the German government which pays him not to work. booted out society and made to eat government rotten sauerkraut because he kept demanding a fourth reich to 'avenge his ancestors'
sadly we're stuck with him crying about America here, but at least the good people of Germany don't have to suffer his delusions in real life

so tell me how the poor 'suffer' from their lack of 'power' through firearms in the rest of the civilised world? pretty sure most poor people in america's peer countries are actually doing better...

agreed on the right to vote and have your vote count equally as anyone else's though, another point where republicans blatantly go against the will of the american people.

idiot, you asked me why is OPPOSE nra support and i said i don't.
i merely oppose money in politics - like the vast majority of americans.

and yes, i know you don't support stricter gun control. a majority of americans does though, and since you live in a democracy, it should be implemented. republicans that constantly block it on behalf of the nra and a minority are therefore undemocratic.
thanks for playing indeed.
