It’s irresponsible to blame the NRA. There are plenty of Americans that feel the same way without the NRA affiliation.

@darthfaja I am a gun owner, and an expert marksman. But, I would NEVER carry a gun in public. The NRA IS promoting a society of armed people in public, which is inevitably promoting gun violence. I am sorry, but you statement is more stupid than you can imagine. .

@wordywalt just because we disagree does not make my statement stupid. Just like your horrendous grammar does not necessarily make you stupid. Lazy perhaps, but not stupid. As well, how does prefacing your ‘markmenship’ make you an authority on my opinion?

@wordywalt now if you’d like to have a civil conversation instead of jumping to conclusions I believe you misunderstood what I meant.

The NRA is only part of the problem. Just pointing the finger at them doesn’t do any good. This is a nationwide belief held by many. You can just blame the NRA.

@darthfaja I apologize. But, if we did not have the NRA, we would not have the problem of widespread and increasing gun violence. We do have to stand up to the NTA and to the people who support them. If we banned hand guns and assault weapons (weapons intended primarily to kill people), as Australia did, we would not have such a severe problem.

@darthfaja Please point out any errors in my grammar
And, I resent your statement that I am intellectually lazy. That is both false and uncalled for. I criticized your statement validly, as it did not convey the intent you assert. I was criticizing the statement, not you. In turn, your move was not exactly above reproach.

@jorj Typographical errors have nothing to do with grammar. I corrected one typographical error.

@jorj It is my perception that you are totally off base in suggesting that those factors are more significant in causing gun violence than are the greed driven actions of the NTA. Japanese culture is more into violent videogames than is that of the USA, but they have only a miniscule fraction of gun violence that we do.

@jorj And Japan does not have an NRA pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into propaganda and political influence campaigns to encourage people with a streak of violence in their make-up.

@jorj Then you have never listened to some of their vicious demagoguery.

@jorj Stop playing silly games to try to defend the NRA. When I pointed out that Japan has no equivalent of the NRA and has a miniscule rate of gun violence, you did not respond to my point, but threw up a lame issues of differences in family life. In effect, you ceded my point, and tried to throw a smokescreen.

Similarly, when I pointed out how the NRA is using huge sums of money to put out false propaganda and to buy corrupt political influence, you did not respond to these issues. Again, by failing to respond to my main point, you ceded the points and tried to throw up a lame smokescreen. Who do you think you are fooling? Maybe yourself?

@wordywalt you didn’t criticize my post ‘validly’
You can hardly blame the NRA for all the gun problems. Do they contribute? Heck yeah, but you can not blame them for all the problems with guns. That would be like only blaming McDonalds for obesity.

By the way saying something has validity means it is factually sound.

@darthfaja Your reason could not more logically fallacious or factually incorrect. Of course, the NRA bears much responsibility for gun violence in our country.

@jorj You still have not made a valid point.

@jorj You would do well to stop exercising defensive and fallacious illogic and to actually seek information.

@wordywalt explain. Let’s see this masterful logic at work. I’m so ready.

I’m not even certain you have read anything I wrote. You are repeating the same things I’ve said.
You seem to just want to argue about nothing, yet offer up no data or proof of anything.
Except that somehow your ‘markmanship’makes you an authority.
How very of you.

Oh and by the way
Fallacious illogic?
That creates a double negative
Fake fake news
Hahaha

@jorj
Walt is something special

@darthfaja I will be placing two new posts on this site tomorrow on the historical and current facts about the NRA and its behavior. Follow them if you have the guts.

@wordywalt if I have the guts? That’s just a weird statement. How much bravery does it take to read or be informed. You have a screw loose Walter.

@wordywalt Walter, ya know, it's Smokey, so his toe slipped over the line a little, big deal. It's just a game, man.

@darthfaja Not to me. To me, it is a matter of truth, morality, and defense of our democracy..

@darthfaja What is weird is anyone defending the modern behavior of the NRA.

@wordywalt again you missed the point. It’s a movie quote and a joke.

@wordywalt not once have I defended the NRA. As I have xplained multiple times to you, you have missed the point, and have not truly understood what I wrote.
You just want to argue.

What I’ve repeatedly said is that you can’t only blame the NRA. This is a multi teir problem.

But you have your undies in a bunch like most people these days.
NRA is an obvious trigger for you and you stop thinking and just start writing.

I’m glad you’re not an educator anymore.

@wordywalt I really think you need to re evaluate your understanding of the world. Defending democracy? What the fuck man? You don’t want the NRA yo exist but say you want to defend democracy? That’s hypocrisy at its finest. I am adamantly opposed to the NRA and all of its stances. I don’t own hand guns and don’t find them to have any use except to kill humans. I would prefer them band.
Yet I say you can’t just blame the NRA for all the problems, which you did, and suddenly I support the NRA and you tell me I’m stupid?
Seriously you at fucked up.

@darthfaja I will not attempt to even answer such aggressively derogatory stupidity!

@darthfaja Why are you still harassing me?

@wordywalt ?
Hardly harassment

You have a special take on English.

@zesty Yet more bizarre inanity.

@wordywalt Inanity is disarming decent people, so only the criminals and crazies will have the guns! Such as Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Kim!
