NRA Switches Gears, Lobbies for Identity Politics and Fear

[Saucexorzski]

So basically, folks who already did not like the NRA are telling us how the NRA is bad...well that's amazing.

[Blamblam41]

I mean it worked for the left, so.

I didn't realize effortlessly and flawless dismantling your arguments one by one until you had a tantrum and decided to play "feelings&emotions" politics was the same as smashing a hammer onto a TV displaying factual information.

Guess we are living in a world where the State Department can simultaneously say there is nothing we can do about Russia hacking our election and that we don't need to impose new sanctions on Russia because previous sanctions and the threat of new sanctions are acting as a deterrent.

And those are facts you could pick up off Fox News interviews, because Sexy Rexy doesn't talk to the left.

Nevermind the fact that he conviniently ignored all the sensible proposals on gun control. Such as limiting guns from mentally unstable people.

You gotta admit though, smashing TVs and grimacing angrily at CRYING SOCIALISTS is way cooler than boring lame shit like peer-reviewed research bro.

Peer reviewed research brought you the TV and the socialism he's whining about. Peer review research is pretty much how the world works, so I'd guess you'd have to be a pretty ignorant fuck to consider it uninteresting.

sarcasm is your friend.

There's like a thousand studies out there 'proving' exactly what you're insisting we 'prove'. It's not my fault you and the NRA would prefer to ignore them and smash TVs and try to intimidate everyone into thinking you're right, Goebbels.

Funny, a quick "Proof gun control works" google search and the 2nd article is from Washington Post titled "I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise."

The first is an article claiming that gun control works IN OTHER COUNTRIES but then casually slides this in

"Of course, there are limitations to the studies being analysed here. For starters, all of them were observational, which meant that researchers couldn't control for variables. That's a problem, because there are a whole lot of other factors in society that influence gun deaths outside of gun law, and by simply looking at the data after the fact, those patterns aren't always obvious." and "The authors of each of the 130 studies could have also had affiliations and personal interests that might have biased their results the team admit"

so clearly a study worth citing as proof.

Among others ;

"Strict Gun Control will never work in America"
"Chicago is proof gun control doesn't work"


Still looking for the "thousands of studies that prove" gun control works in America. Maybe they are on page 2 or 3 of google search. Maybe the right wing propaganda machine of Google is suppressing the information? I'd gladly read a peer reviewed study that definitively claims that banning guns in America leads to less gun crime. Please link the thousands of studies.

It really is like these people think only the ones that think like them have guns.
I love the looks on the faces of the people at my range when i stroll in with my assortment of fun toys and a "berniebro" shirt
You can literally see their heads exploding with confusion.

It gets even worse when i win competitions and they have to call my name, which is so obviously not from this country they just pass out from not knowing what to do ;P

A splendid example of "I only see what I want to believe is true." right here.

Kapadons, just for s.. and giggles, do you think that when someone is doing ressearch for a paper, they hit Google ?

That's funny; when I google that phrase on a computer in private browsing mode, I immediately get about 20 results that say the exact opposite. It's almost like google tailors its search results to your personal information, cookies and search history - which, considering what you're posting, is probably right-wing horseshit.

Also, the article you're referring to is an opinion piece published without peer review by a statistician with a clear agenda that draws very broad conclusions with limited data to back those conclusions up. They're also at odds with the majority of research on gun control, which suggest that, even in the gun-happy United States, rates of firearm discharge, violent crime, and suicide are lower in states with stricter gun control than those without. In fact, it took me a second of googling to find an article that directly rebuts this piece's very thinly-drawn conclusions, at Vox. Citing actual empirical research.

Clear your browsing history and try again is my best guess, bro.

If you want gun control in America, prove it works.

So, how about we ban gun sales for a few years and see how it goes? If it works, that's your proof, if it doesn't, fair enough.

Funny thing is that the election of Trump is actually the worst thing that could have happened to the NRA. Since gun owners don't really have much to be afraid of anymore, they don't feel the need to buy as many guns, which is of course terrible news for the NRA's sponsors. Ironically, the NRA really has done so much winning that they're getting sick of it, they need to start losing some battles so that their members feel frightened enough to start opening up their wallets again.

So if someone says something you don't agree with take a hammer to the T.V. that is broadcasting it? Am I understanding this right?

I should be laughing that they themselves prove the "violent redneck with a weapon is dangerous" stereotype, but I'm not......

[Doctor Amadeus]

I think you (and probably the rest here) will get a kick out of this video. ^_^

Lmfao love it! Exactly the only difference between the NRA and the KKK is one is at least honest about who they are taking arms against.

Reminds me of an episode from Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams (2017– ) - Kill All Others.

Are you an other @Slacker76? You're looking like an other.

Ohhh I havent gotten that far. I stopped at The Father Thing before shipping out.

Though I tend to use my threads as a Voigt-Kampff machine. Instead of replicants, it gets fascist assholes to out themselves.

So that makes me a Blade Runner?

PS I also do origami!

[mondoduece]

Yep which will continue to happen until the left arm themselves legally and learn to shoot. Until that happens I can’t act surprised. This kind of violent untimidation has them feeling it works.

this guy<left leaning-legally armed-at the range often.

this guy <honors the second amendment-realizes it gets interpreted poorly at the behest of the firearms industry. Listening to someone trying to justify why they need a semi automatic rifle is pure comedy gold.

"Chicago is proof gun control doesn't work"

Love it when NRA boot-lickers bring this one up, educate yourself with the basic facts of why this statement is pure propaganda.

[Shibito]

Love how easily triggered people are on this forum. Its a ad it sucked noone is dumb enough to buy into it

[Mormolyce]

So "truth" consists of smashing TVs showing comedians while wearing a tshirt that you're about 20 years too old for?

Now that is never a winning proposition on the internet.

I'm willing to bet money I've got friends, who've blocked me and I've blocked, that will enthusiastically post this ad on Facebook.

[Casterbridge]

As a gun owner I've never been a fan of the NRA, that video in the OP certainly isn't changing my opinion.
