    That may be true given all the bad publicity the lib media is pitching

    Which is why the Founders wrote the Bill of Rights

    Your having your "libs" up your ying-yang all the time must be very painful for you.

    Extremist Second Amendment absolutists often get themselves in a snit over the First Amendment that allows firearm massacres to be reported.

    Meanwhile, reality unfolds:
    With Fancy Pants LaP exposed and disgraced, the American public may be increasingly empowered to express its will and protect itself against the tragic consequences of firearm permissiveness.

    The thousands of dastards cheering for terrorism in New Jersey, the millions of bogus voters all casting ballots against Trump, and the billions who cavorted on the Washington Mall at his cotillion were seen by no one, neither your "libs" nor anyone else but your messiah who wanted to see them, apparently.

    File them all with his

    Yore fake claim fizzles.

    Exposure of your fraud may allow Americans to see their wishes carried out by their elected representatives.

    That does not support your irrational fear that Americans want to "disarm average Americans."

    St. Louis - Violent crime rate: 1,857 per 100,000 residents
    Memphis - Violent crime rate: 1,583 per 100,000 residents
    Birmingham, Ala. - Violent crime rate: 1,483 per 100,000 residents
    Atlanta - Violent crime rate: 1,433 per 100,000 residents

    Those are all blue cities inside red States.

    Source: (Forbes) The Ten Most Dangerous US Cities

    The overwhelming majority of violent crime (including gun crime) in the US happens inside cities controlled by Democrats.

    Clearly, Democrats cause crime. Maybe we should just ban Democrats?

    Even when you control for their larger populations, big cities still have disproportionately high levels of gun crime when compared to the rest of the country.

    Democrats = crime

    As I said, most gun crime in red States happens in cities controlled by Democrats.

    The US is not a democracy. It's a federation with a constitution and a second amendment.

    You must not be aware of our Constitution. Sure, the authoritarians want more laws that only affect the law abiding and does nothing to stop gun violence but hey, that's the way idiots roll.

    So, they are cities with a high rate of firearm fatalities within red states with a high rate of firearm fatalities.

    In your hyper-partisan attempt to indict Democratic municipal governance, you ignore Democratically-run cities like Boston in very blue states with a comparatively low rate of firearm fatalities.

    Massachusetts Boasts Lowest Gun Death Rate in the Nation
    https://www.bostonmagazine.com/health/2017/01/11/massachusetts-gun-death-rate/

    Boston, at 7.9 homicides per 100,000 in 2018 is safer than Dallas, a Republican-run city in a red state, at 12.0 homicides per 100,000
    - and, in red Oklahoma, Republican-run Tulsa's is even higher.

    The reality is that rate of poverty, educational attainment, the proliferation of firearms, and a multiplicity of factors determine relative safety, not whether your mayor or governor happens to be a Democrat or Republican.

    No amendment is absolute. The rights enumerated in all of them are circumscribed by the rights of others.

    If the disgraced NRA's scandal is infusing courage into politicians to allow them to represent the American public, the democratic will shall prevail.

    That's a good thing.

    You must also not be aware of natural rights, the basis of our rights. You know, the rights given up by the serfs of authoritarian governments.

    Meanwhile, most Americans are disgusted with Fancy Pants & his elite Washington scaremongers frustrating common sense, the public will, and making the US the firearm fatality romper room of the planet.

    The word is spurious. We can of course refer to criminology that predicts both higher crime and particular voting habits. Berkshire has low poverty and low crime. They'd also vote Tory, even if the candidate was a tub of lard.

    'Nuff said. You've outed yourself. Your racist claim fizzles.

    There is a higher percentage of Black residents in Boston than in Dallas.

    Dallas has the higher homicide rate.

    Sometimes people surprise you. You think you have seen their worst, that absolute bottom of their depravity, and then they top themselves.

    Having been a life member of the NRA over 50 years, I've known the organization and those who have directed it over more of it's history than most people who read this have been alive. Totally honorable objectives, support for gun safety, training for gun owners, and most importantly have always worked for and supported GOOD firearms legislation. Things means legislation that actually produce beneficial results, not those designed to accommodate the fears of people with holophobia who seem to think guns are living, malicious things that make normal people into evil people. More than anything else- It's a fight against ignorance and fear. If you embrace ignorance and fear as desirable qualities in our society, I guess you would have to see the NRA as your enemy.

    I see those who embrace ignorance and fear as their own worst enemy.

    You are entitled to swallow whatever the NRA says and does on behalf of gun manufacturers and retailers.

    Your fantasy that those who seek to reduce the unprecedented level of slaughter in the US imagine that "guns are living, malicious things that make normal people into evil people," is noted. Whether that is something you tell yourself or the lobby's propaganda tells you is irrelevant,

    The reality is that most Americans wish their public servants to act in the public interest, and the NRA's current scandals may empower the People in that regard.

    The NRA is the best defender of the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms

    I wish them a speedy recovery

    That is precisely what they want you to believe. Selling that one to enough marks finances LaP's fancy duds and other extravagances.

    The political lobby can't rely exclusively upon the rubles continuing to flow in.
