Should the NRA be banned?

Oh absolutely.

guns dnt kill ppl... ppl dnt kill ppl... lack of unity kills ppl.

money is made up on numbers... numbers dnt end..... so you will never find solutions in money... ppl. will end because of money... because greed blinds ppl of things that should be done.

You missed Ice T's point, then.

Ice T doesn't hate police. Ice-T hates police who are douchebags and harass people for no reason other than them being black. He hates police who can murder people, practically on-video, and get away with it because they're cops.

It's amazing how many people miss this. Same with some NWA songs.

He looks like he just read some comments on KMC.

(not any of mine of course.)

So, me actually getting no straight answer from the actual artist means nothing? Yeah, i suppose you guys would know better...😉 😆

That logic seems both lazy and foolish and foolishy lazy.

Well, if we stop and examine this for a minute, what is being said
is irresponsibility can exist with anything that gets mis-used. And with young kids, cars are of special note here.

Every now and then, you hear some kid who just got his license and\or graduated gets a brand-new big-ass SUV or some other monster car or truck as a present. He then takes it out with his friends, and because of his inexperience, (or lack of responsibility) he winds up getting himself and his friends killed, or winds up killing someone else.

It's relevant for those reasons alone, as it shows irresponsibility with a right or a privilege. And while not as frequent as gun violence, the fact that someone died from something they shouldn't have had to begin with is the key.

However, that alone should not be a reason to revoke the rights of others who are safe and responsible.

...nice to see people thinking outside the box and not foolishly, lazily dismissing other arguments out of hand. 😉

Eh, I don't think guns should be banned outright.

Just make it harder for people to get them. Make training and checks more detailed. Stuff like that.

i can agree with this.

what do you guys think about people using 3d printers to make guns?

if that becomes commonplace won't that render any possibility of gun control basically obsolete?

yes i've been watching vice

That's still comparing a device specifically designed to move people around to one specifically designed to kill people. That's a silly and lazy argument.

Sure, a car could be used to kill people, just as a gun could be used to not kill people. That doesn't take away the inherent purpose of each device though.

Thanks friend. Sometimes us older folks can keep a cooler head better than those around us. Have a drink on me, bud 🍺

Not really that silly when you consider that in the past, people have deliberately committed vehicular manslaughter with pre-meditative purpose of ending someone's life. When someone is that dedicated, anything can become a weapon, and regardless of the statistics of how many people died from something other than a gun, the fact is is that people were still killed by an alternate method.

Fair enough, however it's the fact that anything can be used to kill someone. As long as the intent exists, there will always be a way.

Guns should be outlawed and people should go back to carry swords and daggers. Those were the days.

I agree. The day man killed the last dragon was the day romance died.

yes i agree with this step. it should be banned as early as possible

When the NRA is inevitably banned the descendants of the current americans look back to it, they'll see it as a primitive idiocy like segregation and slavery.

This is pretty much a fact, feel free to stall it as much as possible ermm

No, but there should be an aggressive lobbying group created for the express purpose of countering the NRA's influence and propaganda.

Banning the NRA would only further radicalize its members and wouldn't solve the problem of the American gun culture--that's something that will either take many generations of gradual demographic change (like what's happening with gay marriage and legalization of marijuana) or a drastic grassroots social revolution caused by something truly horrendous that even the NRA's supporters can't spin.

Should they be banned.. no. Banning a group for simply expressing an opinion is not okay.

That being said I do not think owning a gun is a right. At the very least imo owning a gun should be a privilege only given to those who have gone through the necessary training to have one.

I also think the gun culture of the USA is stupid. Guns have become a toy instead of respecting as the weapon it is.
