BBC reporter’s sobering advice to America: ‘Break’ the NRA or your mass shootings will never stop

Good advice.

And it's not the NRA general membership we're talking about. The NRA is no longer about "freedom" or safety or GUN sportsmanship -- it's about sales and profit.

New smart gun laws and restrictions would put a dent in retail sales.

5% of retail gun stores are responsible for 45% percent of guns on the street. The names of the stores and the owners are easily found on the internet. They conduct business in sickeningly immoral manner and get away with it under laws promoted and written by the NRA.

Imagine if the ATF could go after those Bad Apple dealers. Prices on street guns and ammo would skyrocket as the market dried up.

The NRA leadership serves the gun manufactures. Promotes sales through fear and keeping extended magazines legal.

BBC host Aaron Heslehurst advised Americans this week that they would have to “break” or “dismantle” the National Rifle Association (NRA) if they wanted the mass shootings in the United States to stop.

On Wednesday’s Morning Business Report, BBC presenter Adnan Nawaz pointed out that journalists still did not have all of the details about the shooting in San Bernardino.

“There have been more mass shootings in the United States this year that there have been days this year,” Nawaz noted. “We’re at about 330-odd days with 350+ mass shootings. And it’s becoming far too common as far as almost any sensible person including President Obama is concerned.”

Columnist Maike Currie agreed that the figures were “staggering.”

The small and paranoid minority of gun nutters is good at disrupting the conversation with all kinds of "slippery slope" and straw man logic. Slippery slope is a logical fallacy. Not an argument.

You got an argument as to why assault rifles shouldn't come with a pink slip -- make it. But slippery slop or screaming Nazi registration list doesn't cut it.

Uh, I guess you've missed the news that this was a Muslim terrorist attack?

I know: Your liberal brainwashing kicked in as soon as you saw reports of a mass shooting, and out churned another driveling OP about guns.

These were Muslim terrorists. Arab men were seen leaving their apartment. They clearly planned this attack. Both the hub and the wife became radicalized. The wife used to live in Saudi Arabia. The hub visited Saudi recently.

Just FYI.

Stupid thread, most gun owners don't even belong to the NRA. The NRA is the left's boogeyman, something to blame every shooting there is on and it's getting old.

 

[Rustic]

The NRA is harmless...

I had no idea the NRA was a legislative body that could write and pass laws? ....

The NRA is the one who's radicalized. Gun manufacturers own their ass and most politicians take campaign contributions from them. This carnage has to stop. The shooters fired 75 rounds, killed 14 and wounded 17. What the hell does any civilian need with a weapon which will fire that many rounds that quick?

I wonder how Muslim wives feel about their husband owning six dozen virgins for all of eternity?

As long as they own republicans in congress and prevent reasonable restrictions, they deserve the blame.

How quick did they fire the rounds?

What cyclic rate of fire do you find acceptable? ......

We've tried restricting guns, maybe we should try restricting Islam?

Like I give a rats ass what BBC thinks....

WTF does the NRA have to do with mass murderers? Someone should actually check what NRA stands for and what their creed is.

NRA!!! Is the left dog whistle anytime a shooting takes place. They couldn't stop if they wanted to, it's been drilled in their heads by their masters

 

[Steven_R]

While we're at it, we better break the AOPA to ensure we never have another 9/11.

If it saves just one life, it's totally worth it.

 

[imawhosure]

Take advice from a member of the media. Sure! Although, I am sure that Obama asks Chris Matthews and Al (not so) Sharpton what he should do every day-)

Hey OP, take HAZL out of your moniker, and it fits and describes you perfectly!

Why ... to shoot back, of course. Are you that daft?

How'd that work out for Paris? Aussies banned guns and homicides are up 9.6%.

This is what NRA is about.

A Brief History of the NRA
Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association would be to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis," according to a magazine editorial written by Church.

After being granted a charter by the state of New York on November 17, 1871, the NRA was founded
Rhode Island and a U.S. senator, became the fledgling NRA's first president.

An important facet of the NRA's creation was the development of a practice ground. In 1872, with financial help from New York State, a site on Long Island, the Creed Farm, was purchased for the purpose of building a rifle range. Named Creedmoor, the range opened a year later, and it was there that the first annual matches were held.


Political opposition to the promotion of marksmanship in New York forced the NRA to find a new home for its range. In 1892, Creedmoor was deeded back to the state and NRA's matches moved to Sea Girt, New Jersey.

The NRA's interest in promoting the shooting sports among America's youth began in 1903 when NRA Secretary Albert S. Jones urged the establishment of rifle clubs at all major colleges, universities and military academies. By 1906, NRA's youth program was in full swing with more than 200 boys competing in matches at Sea Girt that summer. Today, youth programs are still a cornerstone of the NRA, with more than one million youth participating in NRA shooting sports events and affiliated programs with groups such as 4-H, the Boy Scouts of America, the American Legion, Royal Rangers, National High School Rodeo Association and others.
