(6,635 posts)We need to make the right-wing gun lobby and their mouthpiece the NRA obsolete by firing all of their lap dog politicians -- from both parties.

(15,260 posts)Of course if we lived in a society run by the NRA and violence and greed, the only effective rebellion against their creed is not through the voting box.

(2,067 posts)The statements come from two completely separate documents with completely separate purposes.
I wish it were otherwise, but unfortunately we will always lose that argument. When it comes to our nations laws, the Constitution and its interpretations will always trump the Declaration of Independence. To suggest otherwise kind of makes us look ignorant.

(6,635 posts)the will of the people when represented by honest (not paid for by the NRA) politicians can achieve an equitable balance between the two doctrines. We do not need to lose arguments when the truth is evident.

(19,201 posts)has their 'Keyboard Kommandos' out on the chat and message boards in full force tonight. That and the Russian bots, because they'd like us all to kill each other and save them the trouble. This shit has to stop, and the NRA is either going to bend, or they're going to break soon.

(9,760 posts)Infuriating too that, like so many things these days, the will of the great majority of Americans is subverted for the sake of pleasing an inferior number of RW radicals.

(6,635 posts)are the ones who are afraid of their own shadows, and they're just looking to become vigilante "heroes" by standing their ground against someone who scares them.

(58,349 posts)And I like guns - have a number of various sizes of hunting rifles - but fuck me, it's out of control.
As others have been saying for a while, if this many Americans were dying of a disease, a parasite, a toxin, a whatever, the government would be pouring shit-tons of money into solving it.
But this is just guns, so fuck it, nothing can be done apparently, except for moments of silence. Assramming jackbats.

(2,957 posts)They would say that there is no right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness specifically enumerated in the constitution. But, the "right" to own guns is specifically called for in the second amendment. They get very legalistic and specific when they're cornered.

(47,953 posts)Of course, The principles listed in the founding document of this country don't matter to them. Just some tacked on and poorly worded ambiguous statement in the constitution. That's all that matters to them.
Brilliant.
