re: #88 HappyWarrior

No offense to the gun owners here but this is exactly why some of us don’t like guns. When the spokesperson for the country’s largest gun owners organization cries that characterizing mass shootings as well mass shootings because of some made up bullshit about stabbings. Dana has a problem. I’m sorry to sound so harsh but she’s mentally disturbed and the poster child for why we need changes in gun laws.

The spokesperson for the largest gun owners’ association represents a tiny minority of gun owners.

Even non-gun owning conservatives make the same arguments. I have heard them here in real-life: Why don’t liberals demand truck control (are you kidding?), knife control (tell me when you hear of a mass-murder from a hotel five hundred feet away from a concert), &c.

Dana is not mentally unstable. Dana is paid to deflect attention away from the NRA. Anger is focused on her and she is paid very well for that job.

What the students in Parkland did was rip the mask off the spokesliars the NRA employs (other than to call out a direct lie) to go after the organisation itself.

That’s why the NRA started flailing on social media: Their usual tactic of being quiet while they set out a lightning rod didn’t work, and suddenly they were at a disadvantage directly attacking survivors of a mass-murder.
