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

[Flash]

The NRA is the largest firearms safety organization in the world. They are also a grassroots Constitutional protection organization.

Both good things.

However, the Brits lost the opportunity to take our firearms away so their opinion don't mean shit. Maybe they should have fought harder.

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.

Fuck you BBC.

[...] What the hell does any civilian need with a weapon which will fire that many rounds that quick?

[...]

Within the existing social atmosphere there is no such need. But based on the direction the social atmosphere seems to be headed I would like to have an AK-47 in a closet just in case I might need to defend myself, or others, like you, from radical jihadist Muslims who seem to be more common day by day. Simply stated, if you can assure me that I will never be confronted by someone with an AK, then I will agree with you. But until then you go your way and I'll go mine.

Where guns are concerned, it is better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it.

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

What the anti-gun fanatics need to understand is gun laws affect only the law-abiding. Strengthening the gun laws will disarm those who comply with the laws, making them vulnerable to armed outlaws and terrorists.

Gun law advocates conveniently ignore the ultimate effect of the drug laws, which have been a total failure. The existing drug laws could not be more repressive without transforming our civilian police into the equivalent of the British Regulars during the pre-Revolutionary colonies. Yet the anti-gun fanatics continue to press for stricter laws.

The simple fact is if not for guns there would not be an America. The armed citizen is an integral part of this Nation -- regardless of the negative aspect of that reality.

The NRA's current position is as follows:

If you are convicted felon in America, if you are certifiably mentally incompetent, even if you have a history of gun violence,

you should STILL be able to legally purchase guns somewhere in America, and,

your ability to do so should never be taken away from you.

FIRSTLY, THE NRA IS NOT THE BEST DEFENDER OF OUR ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.

BUT THE POLICE HAS NOT IDENTIFIED ANY NRA MEMBER AS A POSSIBLE PERP.

DO YOU HAVE A LINK?

oh, so now we need to receive a lecture and advice from the BBC. Yep they sure know all about gun control, bombs, and terrorist activity. Only the fool on the hill and his minions would give the BBC the time of day.

I didnt give a fuck when Piers Morgan ranted about gun control.
I dont give a fuck that some other Limey is ranting about gun control.
Here's what a disarmed Britain looks like

The NRA's current position is as follows:

If you are convicted felon in America, if you are certifiably mentally incompetent, even if you have a history of gun violence,

you should STILL be able to legally purchase guns somewhere in America, and,

your ability to do so should never be taken away from you.

Do you understand the difference between violent and non violent felonies?

Why should being convicted of a non violent felony result in taking away your Constitutional right to keep and bear arms?

Most of you Libtards promote the idea of having convicted felons have their right restored, especially when it comes to voting so don't be hypocritical. It just makes you look like a fool.

The NRA doesn't. The NRA wants to preserve gun purchase loopholes that allow violent felons and crazy people to legally purchase guns.

You are confused once again. That is a common aliment for you Libtards.

The NRA position is that firearms are to be used in a lawful manner and only sold to those people that meet the state or local requirements to own firearms.

The NRA also supports the position that individuals not engaged in the business of selling firearms should be able to occasionally privately transfer firearms without the government having a veto over our Constitutional rights. That is a good position.

It is up to you as an individual to make sure that you transfer your firearm in a legal manner.

Making it illegal to do a private transfer will never stop a criminal from getting a firearm to be used in a crime but it will stop one law abiding person from being able to sell a firearm to his law abiding friend with the filthy ass government being able to veto the transaction.

Why would you ever want the filthy ass corrupt government to have a veto on your Constitutional rights? Are you an idiot?

What good is a Bill of Rights when the government can take away those rights?

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.

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

No the PC agenda liberals has started, you all have blood on your hands.

The proof is that there are currently ways to legally purchase guns in the US without going through a background check and the NRA does not want the law to change that.

Why should a law abiding citizen ever give up their right to protect their own life or the lives of those around them? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. When you liberals find the right combination of laws to control all criminals, I will leave my weapon at home. Until then, shut the hell up you pathetic piece of liberal dogshit. My right to my gun beats your bullshit rhetoric that endangers people's lives and only empowers the criminals. You don't want to protect yourself, that is your choice. Let's not pretend that disarming a law abiding person will make you any safer from a criminal. It just makes your fellow citizen an easier target.

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

I seem to remember the British tying to "break" American gun owners a couple of times before.
It didn't end well for them.
