The NRA is run by big gun manufactures.  They won't care about what you send them as long as they keep selling guns.  You need to vote out of office people who support everyone having a gun.  And that includes both the democratic and republican party

Who is down for going over there with a thank you card and balloons? I need someone to record.

it make no sense to go there.  Go to washington dc and protest in front of the white house or capital hill.   you need to change the laws.

what people should do, if they really do care is organize... and in the US that takes money... create a lobby for gun control... support gun control candidates.... target gun "rights" candidates.. the opposite of the NRA basically

10 million people * 100$ is $100 million for starters


what people will do? everyone will talk about how sad they are..their hearts go out blah blah blah... it will make them feel a bit better... they'll do nothing... something about "may god comfort the victims..".. wait, did God let this happen? No, thats too much..dont go there..

repeat after next mass shooting..maybe next one will be in a hospital ward with babies.

mass shootings are just one facet of the problem. how many people get killed by handguns in this country a year?  20,000?

correction

10 million people * 100 is    US$  1 billion not $100 million

fuck the second amendment

[atomicfront]

white house says today is not the day to talk about gun control.  I guess just like the one in the movie theater wasn't the time to talk about gun control.  If today isn't a day to talk about gun control, when is?

[sweetcell]

If today isn't a day to talk about gun control, when is?

it's never a good time.  on a day like today, it's "politicizing a tragedy" and "let's just think of the victims".  on any other day, it's "why are you bringing this up? gun control isn't a problem, don't stir things up!".  rather convenient...

fuck the second amendment

no, it's there and we won't get rid of it any time soon IMO.  instead, let's return to it's original intent.  ya want guns?  fine, prove that you're part of a "well regulated militia": you have a chain of command. train as a group, stay in barracks, can be told to surrender your guns by your superiors, you have a mission, etc.  anyone who can't adhere to this is just a yahoo who want to own a flame-thrower.  fuck District of Columbia v. Heller.

people don't need to be in militias.  People do not need guns to hunt.  Use a bow if you want to kill something.  It isn't like the constitution can't be changed.  We don't have slaves anymore.  We don't need guns.

it's worth noting that yesterday, a similar attack occurred in China. 22 kids attacked, fatality rate 0% - because he used a knife.

You don't have 2/3 of both Houses either, let alone 3/4 of the states. Tens of thousand of proposals with only 17 constitutional amendments since its initial conception.  That's not the proper route for gun control.
