(6,635 posts)NRA talking points spoken by an expert Guneoneer. The NYT quote was from the shooting of two firemen just a few days ago, so please take up your "arguments" with the editors of the NYT.
The point is, the NRA has advocated for the "restoration" of gun rights for felons at the state level. The funding you refer to is Federal funding, and does not apply to the various states which also have the power and authority to reinstate a felon's gun rights. You are picking at nits, and yes the NRA started this bullshit, and they still need to be held accountable for their support of the attacks on the rights and lives of innocent people like the children of Sandy Hook. Your unfounded attacks on the VPC, the Brady organization, and MAIG are typical of the hate group that you respresent.
And we all know why the NRA/Gungeon flies are swarming to this thread: you have really run out of arguments, and now you're grasping at straws with your same old NRA talking points. You and your kind are finally on the losing side of this issue, and from your standpoint it's just going to get worse. For the majority of the American people, however, sanity is replacing the easy access to guns, and the NRA's influence in lobbying for asinine gun laws is coming to an end. Deal with it.
And actually, unlike the NRA and its proponents, I'm arguing for the sake of sanity and public safety.
