Full title:
Kimmel writer quotes every GOP lawmaker’s post-Florida ‘thoughts and prayers’ tweet — and how much money they took from the NRA
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/ki...eet-much-money-took-nra/#.WoTh1m4LbzI.twitter
As Republicans begin heaping “thoughts and prayers” on the families of the 17-plus people killed in Wednesday’s deadly shooting at a high school outside Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! made sure to note how much each had taken from the National Rifle Association.

Freaking opinions of scared people, who are not so different handling this like Trump. I'm tired of the self-righteous stuff you would chastise Trump for in this situation.
So that would be your opinion then? Because all the things listed in the Raw article are actually facts. I believe people should have opinions but an opinion isn't the same thing as a fact and the fact that the NRA has spent millions of dollars to buy this group of Republican politicians? That isn't my opinion, that's a fact. :wave:
tulc(just thought that fact needed to be pointed out) :sorry:

Here is why I call Raw Story garbage. And the fact that they have any respectability is a testament to hypocrisy about media biases.

As the NRA does a great job protecting our second amendment
rights, I support the same candidates that they support. I know
you're attempting to vilify them, but all your articles show is that
they're doing what their members want them to do.

If you would like to propose some measures that
would affect mass shooters and still protect the
second amendment, I'd like to see them.
Sure, strictly enforce all the words in the Second Amendment and right there that would be a good start. Confiscate all guns that don't conform to what the Second Amendment is there for, and that's your second question answered. :wave:

...not really, they do a good job making sure the gun manufacturers get to sell a lot of guns and making sure politicians know they work for them and not for all those dead kids or their families.

I support the same candidates that they support.

...you donated $30,000,000+ million dollars to get President Trump elected? :eek:

I know you're attempting to vilify them,
I don't have to "vilify them" I just point out what they do and the rest is just a normal reaction to it. :wave:

but all your articles show is that
they're doing what their members want them to do.
(snip)
...there you go, no one has to "vilify" any of that, the NRA does that job for us. :sigh:
tulc(does appreciate pat34lee's helping him demonstrate how it works though!) :oldthumbsup:

The second amendment guaranteed the right of the
people to own the same guns that the standing army
used. Today, that would be this:

the second amendment was about a well regulated militia, not about everyone owning a gun. that's why I said all the words not just the ones the NRA want us to worship.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The NRA wants us to ignore everything before the second "the" and make a religion out of everything after it. :wave:

It would actually be better if everyone knew all
the words and what they meant at the time.

Militia
The body of soldiers in a state enrolled for discipline, but not engaged in actual service except in emergencies; as distinguished from regular troops, whose sole occupation is war or military service.

Militia are the last defense. The closest we still
have left are the reserves and the national guard.
In a militia, every able-bodied male was to have
a gun ready and be able to use it for defense of
the community and the state. They were the army
before there was a standing army.
Militia in the Revolutionary War, Yorktown Victory Center

If there is no real militia left, why does the 2nd
amendment stand? For the same reason they
kept rifles handy in the earliest days of the USA:
Self-protection, hunting and intimidating anyone
thinking of attacking defenseless people. Armies
have failed or turned on the people, and so have
police forces.

It's sad that Americans are so eager to sacrifice the lives of children for money and an ancient document they have somehow attached religious reverence to.

When you act condescendingly offensive like that. You turn people off rather than actually point out something insightful.

I suspect when the NRA thinks about the second amendment it probably looks like this in their head:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's even more sad that some are willing to trade their
own freedom and that of others for an imagined safety.
