Hypocrites gotta hypocrite, I suppose. They can organize and speak but nobody else can, it seems.

With a dose of blatant propaganda --

subtle lie with the hope of it not being called out. That is why organizations like this will never get much respect. Like to see where the funding comes from.

but then controllers like you would promptly throw her under the bus.

I have some stock in Smith and Wesson, and its up about 80% this year.

Its actually pretty high right now, so I could sell it, and use the profits to buy a. . . . .smith and wesson revolver.

Thanks for the advise Secular Motion!

Poor Jennifer....probably buys into the "all people are good, but guns send them to the dark side." She should have stuck with AOL.

If these peeps really wanted to make a difference they'd recommend people divest from drugs and gangs. They'd also focus on proper mental health care in the US.

But they're not interested in changing society because that means depriving some folks of their freedom of expression. This is nothing but repackaged "guns kill people" thinking.

I wonder if that counts as "supporting the corporate gun lobby"?

I bought it from a local gun store on the used rack, but according to the serial number the Marlin people made it in 1938. It shoots .22 S, L and LR and holds up to 26 shorts.

Does that also make it an "Assault Weapon" in some states?

No more "mass murder," but instead "mass shooting," better to pump up the volume. And re-definitions and "new studies" which reveal much higher "gun violence®" rates than what the FBI (and other agencies) have reported. Lots of "epidemics," (to pump up the old public health model), "spikes," "sudden increases," and the like.

This dynamic was and is still used in WOD debates.

Another controller who wants to attack gun violence by targeting the people not committing any, put forward by another controller who supports going after the people who aren't the problem.

I'm shocked.

So much power is in the hands of elites and corporations, some measure of revolt and action must be available to the public. It's a slop-shot method, often failing and over-used. One thing is clear from this effort: It relies on established "organizations representing over 20 million Americans..." Cantilevered potentialities, but not a grassroots movement. Again, this is an elitist effort whose change model is prohibitionism: Throw Any anti-gun idea/action against the wall and see what sticks. I doubt this effort will go very far if for no other reason than it signals raw culture war which, save for an ever-compliant MSM, has not resonated with the public, armed or un-armed.
