I know its been a joke since like, the West Wing, but NRA members elect the NRA board directly and if 5 million +1 anti gun people joined the NRA then boom its an organization for common sense gun control in America. It costs money to join but once you won you'd control all the money plus all the money the 5 million gun nuts gave them. Who could afford to back such an endeavor? Michael Bloomberg could it would cost him like 1.5 billion dollars, ( 5 million 300 dollar life memberships) but in the end when they made him head of the NRA i guess he could give it all back to himself or something. He has 50 billion dollars so it wouldn't really be that big of a deal for him one way or the other. Come to think of it with all that money he could do some real damage to the gun industry by buying gun and ammunition manufacturers. hakimashou fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Mar 8, 2018 |

I wholly expect the existing NRA board would unilaterally implement totalitarianism in their organization if that were even under threat of happening.

Now I'm writing a screenplay where the Spanish Inquisition is reimagined as an attempted Jewish takeover of the Catholic Church. The hero is a young Tomás de Torquemada as portrayed by John Leguizamo.

They'd face a class action suit from 5 million people who got scammed out of 1.5 billion dollars, bankrolled by a dude with 48.5 billion dollars probably which would wreck them pretty bad.

If it was good enough for Alfred the Great, father of English literature, it's good enough for me. That rule you're quoting was just made-up by some sixteenth-century pedant with a stick up his rear end, it's not an English rule and has never borne any resemblance to how English-speaking people write or speak.

Rent-A-Cop posted:The NYPD is the police force that had to special order new, harder to shoot, guns because they accidentally shot themselves so much. Also if you're in favor of increasing police arsenals you're not really that in favor of gun control since disarming the police is an important step two

BENGHAZI 2 posted:Also if you're in favor of increasing police arsenals you're not really that in favor of gun control since disarming the police is an important step two Because seriously, they run a special 12lb trigger on their guns in an attempt to avoid cop self-blastings. Which helps explain why they never hit anything they shoot at and constantly shoot random passerby. Edit: IIRC they also took away flashlights and issued weapon lights instead until one of them killed some random dude by accident while using his Glock as a flashlight.

The NYPD gets disarmed, everyone else in the city is armed, but you're only allowed to shoot police and it's presumed to be self defense

Mandatory is stupid but I am sure most minorities that were a victim of a hate-crime assault in the street or a targeted break in would have loved to have a gun to defend themselves with. Hell, one of the testimonies they chose for District of Columbia v. Heller was a gay man who was going to get stomped by a group of 10 guys that only was able to deter them when he took out his concealed carry handgun.

In case anyone actually wants to comment on it and missed it... https://www.bdsnet.de/downloads/study-firearms.pdf https://ssaa.org.au/assets/news-res...by_firearms.pdf Their conclusions were that poverty/income inequality were the common factors to having high homicide rates. Gun availability/ownership and tight gun regulations did not correlate with having a low homicide rate.
