*Official Prediction String** New NRA talking points in response to firefighters being killed

My best guess is : "Well, we clearly MUST arm ALL of our firefighters nationally, so they can adequately defend themselves from all those 'bad people' with guns"!!! --> with thought balloon saying "Now let's see. 1.5 million firefighter$ X $850 (price of an AR-15), that's $9.6 TRILLION. Not bad.">

Of course, M$M reporters will probably forget to ask: "Mr. LaPierre, just how do you think all those 'bad people' got their guns in the first place?"

Our heroic firefighters need to outgun the bad guys, so might I suggest rocket propelled grenade launchers on every fire truck? Anyone who disagrees with this idea is obviously a pinko, dirt worshipping commie marxist Kenyan gun grabber.

(just in case it wasn't obvious).

Perhaps all fire trucks should be armored & mount .50 calibers. I too add for those who might be in a hurry reading the post and miss the intent.

I'm waiting for some RW fucktard to advocate putting God back in the firehose (not a typo).

... he was already a felon and couldn't legally have access to a firearm, and we need to improve enforcement so that this kind of thing doesn't happen anymore."

That would be my guess.

And those men's adventure novels. I blame H Rider Haggard and his blood-soaked King Solomon's Mines.

But the NRA would blame literally anything other than guns. If a department store Santa went on a shooting rampage, the NRA would be blaming Christmas.
