Australia was able to stop mass shootings. We can do it too.

"GUNS ABOVE ALL ELSE" is at an all time high. It is simply unfathomable that even the most common sense changes to gun policy can not be passed.

I can say no more without becoming the focus of ugly attacks by some here who frequent a certain group that I find to be totally incompatible with progressive values.... My resentment builds....

in the pockets of citizens, there would've been less bloodshed.

Yours truly,
NRA

P.S. Buy more guns and rifles because someday Obama will try to take our weapons away and we should be ready just in case. Jade Helm is just an exercise preparing for the day guns and rifles will be confiscated.

P.S.S. Be prepared, the day is coming. Buy more guns.

P.S.S.S. Did we mention, buy more guns.

P.S.S.S.S. Guns are good, so buy more.

P.S.S.S.S.S. Buy Guns By Gum!

We are ready to gut a deal with Iran because of alleged human rights violations BUT
we just ignore the Saudi elephant in the room, which has funded, supported and exported it's brand of Wahabi terrorism across the globe. The Saudi Arabian peninsula is the source of so much of this current situation yet our politicians on both sides continue to kiss their butts and look the other way.

The wall to wall breathless coverage of yet another shooting - and nothing will come of it. The families will bury their dead; the right wing will have another anti-Muslim terror orgasm; the NRA and their ilk will whine that this is not the time to discuss gun control.

With slight variation, lather, rinse, repeat.
