Is the NRA a socailly irresponsible organization? Honest opinions wanted.?

Question

Anyone else think it's socially irresponsible for the NRA to fight against every form of gun control proposed? Be it tougher laws on illegal firearms, or more money to fund government agencies in charge of regulating firearms like the ATF?? Are they not partially responsible for the massacre that occured in Virgnia?

I know the NRA is supposed to be about responsible gun owners, but some of their policies are making it easier for deadly weapons to get into the hands of dangerous people.

Answer 1

As I watched the news this morning I pondered the same thing.

We have been debating over gun laws and gun safety for decades now. When is enough enough?

Cho didn't have that gun coming into this country. He had to have gotten it here.

I heard all sorts of statements on the news including asking applicants for any prior arrests they might have incurred. Who is that going to hurt? No shooter at any of the schools that have had these kind of incidents ever had an arrest record. The only thing that could ever be said was that they were "loners." Are they going to ask for a list of your friends too?

Answer 2

Deadly weapon? Base ball bat? Knife?
I don't belong to the NRA but I doubt that they endorse crimminal use of guns or guns that should be available to crimminals.
Anti gun people are always insinuating that a lawfull gun owner is the culprit in all these situations. We want all illegal guns taken off the street. We want the police to confiscate them all. Problem is, the crimminals won't give them up , won't let the cops know they got them, and in order to keep you anti gunners happy , will hassle law full gun owners and confiscate for reasonshaving nothing to do with any crime.
You and you and you are responsible for this and most of the other tradgedies through indifference, exclusion, plain unfriendliness, and also hatred.
You people in here from The USA are a representative of the population and you should listen to yourselves. No wonder you can't get any respect. You have to give it first.

Answer 3

I don't think that the NRA is responsible for this, per se, but they are an irresponsible organization because they are radically extreme, intolerant and inflexible.

They refuse to acknowledge that there is such a thing as an irresponsible gun owner, and their blind, reflexive reactions to any and all proposals, and unwillingness to even look for a middle ground adds nothing towards finding solutions.

Answer 4

it incredibly is a complicated subject. on condition that Karen and Scott are cousins i does no longer see something incorrect with them wrestling. i'm not sure with regard to the pool stick between the legs, this is a touch unusual. Rose had the right to precise how she felt. Scott ought to have been greater expertise. there replaced into no clarification for him to leave her. i ask your self why Karen and Scott have been so disenchanted if no longer something is going on, they provide the impact of being kinda protective. If it incredibly is how Scott reacts to Rose's concerns, then perhaps they might desire to reevaluate their relationship. i might tell Rose to aim and talk to Scott approximately this lower back.

Answer 5

So is the ACLU

No matter what, the criminals will still manage to find guns, just as they will still be able make bombs or attack with knives. All a ban on guns would do is take the guns out of good peoples hands.

Answer 6

I'll bet you know nothing about what the NRA stands for.

Name ONE irresponsible thing that they preach.
That's what I thought...

How can they be socially irresponsible when they have developed the most successful awareness program available. (Eddie Eagle)

Answer 7

I am an NRA member -they have lost their focus-more concerned with policians-that the average American-the Humter- the business owner who needs to protect his business etc. they are becoming extreme.
