I said my father was a hunter & a gun collector. He cleaned them when we were around and very carefully locked them away otherwise. One sister went hunting with him occasionally, the other two of us had no interest in the guns. Why ask if being around guns made me a shitbag? I am certain I made my stance perfectly clear. so what was your purpose in asking me that?

Right now I am watching a program on Domestic Violence in Florida. In Florida one woman is murdered every 36 hours, by intimate or significant others.
one out of every 3 females are/have been molested, murdered, or abused in the whole of the US. The worst is that a huge number of those are adolescents. These experts are distinguishing between domestic violence and dating violence.

Now what to you suppose the US gun culture adds to this scenario?? i.e. "One has the right to be armed because of an outdated amendment of the constitution"? It appears to have translated into a right to use] that weapon against anyone who threatens their personal well being!

That would solve the over-population problem alright.

Perhaps the young in Florida and elsewhere will make the old, and pompous politicians put in laws that will cut down the slaughter.

LOL!!!

Really?

5 million members and a yearly budget of $350 million dollars is "no traction"?

Well, I'll take some of that no traction. :)

And if you are talking about the NRA's reputation and traction in Congress......well, you're wrong.

I bet the NRA's membership rises over the next year.
Here you go. Makes one wonder who is supplying all those funds, could it be the gun manufacturers rather than the gun owners?

How many gun owners belong to the NRA? Not as many ... - Metro US
https://www.metro.us/news/the-big-stories/how-many-gun-owners-belong-to-the-nra
Feb 22, 2018 - Although the National Rifle Association is often referred to as a monolithic force, less than 10 percent of gun owners belong to the NRA, and the organization does not necessarily reflect their views. ... That's between 6 to 7 percent of the total number of gun owners nationwide ...

The NRA membership has always been a question mark. When they were taken over by lawyers in the 1970s most sports shooters left and have never come back.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Seventeen crosses with the names and ages of the victims killed in last month’s Florida school massacre have been hung from a Kentucky billboard advertising a gun show.
The Courier Journal reports it’s unclear who placed the white crosses on the front edge of the billboard advertising the gun show that occurred at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville in late February. The billboard along Interstate 65 shows a man holding two guns.
A spokeswoman for billboard owner Outfront Media said Sunday the crosses would be removed.
The Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 people. A 19-year-old former student has been charged in the shootings.

Northern Ontario,
Not true.
In true Waldo fashion, he makes statements of the top of his pointy head with no data to prove it and expects everyone to believe him because he says so.....
The old Waldo was like that too
He came back under a new name when Mentalfluff invited him, because nobody believed him back then.......

same propensity for putting people who disagree with him on ignore....

Trump has now dropped raised ages for buying guns but is sticking with arming school teachers. This is part of "hardening" schools to make them, I guess, harder to shoot people in.

gun control = more guns

NRA at work in the swamp.

Here you go. Makes one wonder who is supplying all those funds, could it be the gun manufacturers rather than the gun owners?

.

I researched and gave you the figures.

Five million members dues

Private donations.

Advertising revenues.

Program revenues.

Obviously you have cognitive difficulties.

So, do you have reading problems, or memory problems?

LOL well you must let me know how the NRA managed to support the Trump campaign with over 136,1 million with those dues of $125,000, What you are suggesting is that each of all those members must have donated about 6 million dollars apiece. Now the same NRA has claimed 125 million most years since 2005. Now those memberships come with a great many benefits that have to come out of those memberships ...( $40 a year.) Even some sort of health care.

Could it be a great deal of the donations came from gun manufacturers? Now what sort of advertising would the NRA be doing?? They are a large gun club NOT an arms dealer. Program revenues? I assume this brings in a few bucks which would go to paying those putting out those programs.


So please you explain the difference between the outlay and intake reasonably. OR simply admit that the NRA is and has been for years acting as an arm of the gun manufacturers and has bought and controls the US government for monetary benefit.



So you see I do not have cognitive problems. In fact I do not have math problems either. The gun manufacturers are through the NRA, controlling the government!! Why are not the members of the NRA (those paying their annual fees to protect their freedoms) up in arms against the NRA taking away their access to the government they cast their ballots to elect?? The US population has lost it's influence to the gun industry . It appears money outbids the vote.

Obviously, even basic math is beyond you.

$40 a year x 5 million members is 200 million dollars a year. From dues alone. Their budget is $350 million, because of dues, program fees, merchandise sales, advertising revenue, and donations.

Got that?

in 2016, the election year, the NRA donated $1,085,100 total, divided among all candidates that they supported.
