Rationalize much?
1. TSA'ing our schools would be a massive waste of time and money as well as furthering the indoctrination of the police state as a good thing.
2. Mental health is the camel's nose under the tent that will make the 2nd irrelevant. We as a society are moving closer to everyone being diagnosable with something. And since the ATF is in charge of implementing regulations, all it takes is one vague line in a "common sense" NRA supported bill and suddenly you can't own guns anymore.
3. You like them attacking the 1st Amendment because what now? Any thought crime legislation will hit the alternative media that contradicts the official narrative, not Hollywood.
Oh sweet flaming Jesus on a Pogo Stick.
1. I didn't hear the NRA call for metal detectors, "people sniffers", Porn-o-scopes, or even having the little tykes remove their shoes before entering their school. So where did you get "TSA'ing our schools"? I've gone back and re-read what
Wayne La Pierre said. "armed security", "armed police officers", "Armed, trained, qualified school security personnel".
2. Last I checked Mental Health is a disqualifying disability. But you have to be adjudicated. I didn't hear a call to change that process. You probably don't remember when GOA was going on and on about how some bill the NRA endorsed was going to take all Vet's 2A rights from them. But, when actually reading the bill, there was nothing of the sort in there. In fact, it restored the right so thousands of vets that had been put in the NICS database during the Clinton administration, without being adjudicated. There isn't a person that would not agree that Lanza, the Aurora movie guy, Gabby Giffords shooter, VA Tech shooter, or any other of the mass shooters were not
Coo-Coo for Cocoa Puffs. In fact people who were very familiar with them all stated that they thought they "needed help." Yet, they did nothing to get them that help. If someone is that broken, they need family, friends, teachers, etc to step in and get them help and/or treatment and if that means having them adjudicated as "Mentally Defective", then so be it, if it gets them the help they need.
3. I didn't hear them call for a repeal of the 1st Amendment. I heard them shame the MSM for their complicity:
And throughout it all, too many in our national media … their corporate owners … and their stockholders … act as silent enablers, if not complicit co-conspirators. Rather than face their own moral failings, the media demonize lawful gun owners, amplify their cries for more laws and fill the national debate with misinformation and dishonest thinking that only delay meaningful action and all but guarantee that the next atrocity is only a news cycle away.
Finally, I haven't seen a written bill on what they propose. However, I'd be much more willing to bet that an NRA bill does more to protect ALL my rights, then one written by Joe Biden and friends.
