Why is it that every time some mentally defective person goes into a school or movie theatre or any other public place (which is 9/10 times a gun free zone) and shoots up the joint, the NRA gets blamed? Are people actually so ignorant to think that the person who committed the atrocity was a card carrying member of the NRA? Or is this just a cop-out by the low information voter crowd who likes to blame a tool and not their own failed gun free zone policies? So, what say you RP?

SFC (Join to see) - Staff; The NRA is no more to blame for mass shootings than the AAA would be for car accidents if it were lobbying (successfully) for every American's right to drive cars with no proof of ability and no insurance or the ALPA would be for plane crashes if it were lobbying (successfully) for every American's right to fly aircraft regardless of their size.

No, the individuals that committed the acts are responsible, not the NRA, not the 2nd Amendment, not the gun manufacturers and not the guns, the criminals that committed them, PERIOD.

I agree totally. I think everyone agrees.
When an airplane crashes, the Air Force looks at all contributing factors: weather, radios, the pilot's personal life...everything. Then the USAF makes adjustments as needed in all areas to improve future flying safety.
That's all we're asking. The 30-round magazine didn't commit the crime, but it was a contributing factor--one of many--and changes need to be considered. Of course, the NRA pays our Congress critters, and the manufacturers pay the NRA, so no progress is possible, no matter what the people want.

If you think the NRA is at fault for mass shootings your just simply an idiot. The NRA doesn't brainwash people into killing sprees. If we are going to go down that route I'll go ahead and say that any of you that have PTSD are a threat to society and should be banned from owning firearms. Cuz that's about as dumb of a statement as says the NRA is responsible for mass shootings.

Some say that we are known by the company we keep. The NRA is also known by its enemies and their enemies make the NRA look pretty good to me.

Blaming the NRA for gun deaths is like blaming Ford for the estimated 460 deaths that will happen on our highways this 4th of July.
