Fact check about killing Americans
- American War Deaths since 1776 = 1,396,733.
- Gun Deaths since 1968 = 1,516,863 (63% by suicide)
Is the Divided State of America a greater threat to herself than her enemies are to the USA?
Facts will never change the fundamentalist mindsets of NRA extremists. The reptilian tail wags the NRA.
Restore the Old-style NRA
It's high time to restore the old style NRA of the 1960s-70s with moderate Republicans and Democrats draining the swamp of radicalized extremists: the jihadists of the 2nd Amendment.
Only moral leadership, courage and advocacy will empower the moderate wings of the NRA (republicans and democrats) to ban military-style, offensive semi-automatic guns designed for mass killings.

How did the NRA become radicalized extremists?
In 1995, President George Bush resigned from the NRA. Since then, NRA has become even more extremist and militant. The NRA advocates for the unlimited right to own any gun under the 2nd Amendment.
In 2015, Frontline did an amazing exposé about the extreme radicalization of the NRA and its incredible power to influence presidential and state elections. How did the NRA help George Bush win the presidential election over Al Gore? Guns and dark money counted more than the popular vote.
Watch this documentary to equip yourself with the truth about the NRA.
Truth is more important than guns
Fake patriots believe that guns are more important than the truth. The NRA thrives on the fear about mass killings. Fear generated by mass killings is also good news for the stock market of the gun industry.
How will the NRA exploit this mass killing for their propaganda machine?
The Las Vegas mass murder has set the bar even higher for the next lunatic to run amok on a mass killing spree. Even if all of the people at this concert were carrying guns, it would not have prevented this massacre.
Watch the NRA's propaganda videos to understand their fundamentalist interpretation of the 2nd Amendment as the sole proprietor of the supreme truth.
Has the NRA become a neo-terrorist organization?
The NRA is a brilliant propaganda machine of mass mind control for their fundamentalist brand of patriotism. These racialized extremists have created a narrow-minded monopoly of fear-based, maniacal patriotism based on paranoid conspiracies that the US government is either becoming a fascist tyranny or a commie take-over by the progressive liberal elites.
Always be prepared to take up arms and fight against our government in becoming the enemy of freedom and liberty.
How will NRA use their version of absolute liberty to justify personal possessions of military-grade, semi-automatic machines for killing people. This liberty defies any common sense use of guns for recreational hunting.
Guns are the NRA's symbols of freedom, not the statute of liberty. We need the light of the torch, not the smoke of the guns to liberate the closed-mindedness of radicalized extremists.
Neo-terrorists put political ideology, identity and blind loyalty above the truth about guns and the mass killings by semi-automatic weapons.
If every American had a semi-automatic killing machine, would this prevent, stop or escalate mass killings.
Guns are rarely used to kill criminals or stop crimes
Fear-based discussions about the need to own guns for self-protection have focused on using guns for self-defense. It is often claimed that 2.5 million Americans use guns in self-defense against criminal attackers each year. This is fake news.
In 2013, there were only 211 justifiable homicides, defined as the killing of a felon during the commission of a felony.
Who will crack open the NRA's wall of blind unconditional loyalty?
- How much longer will the reptilian tail of the NRA use fear to rule the silent majority who support the ban of semi-automatic guns?
- Isn't it time for true patriots to form an old-style NRA based on the mindsets of the 1960-1970's?
- Who will be the true patriots moved by the light of truth, and not the smoke of guns?
The fragmented silent majority must unite to divide and conquer the NRA: separate the moderate wings of NRA from the reptilian tail of the radicalized extremism.
Let the eagle of truth rise above the neo-terrorists of the NRA.
Tell Congress #Enough
Sign petition to tell Members of Congress to:
- Vote no on H.R. 3668, the SHARE Act that would gut long-standing regulations on silencers and loosen restrictions on armor piercing bullets.
- Block H.R. this 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act that would force states to honor the concealed carry weapons permits of every other state, regardless of how lax the other state's law.
- Ban weapons of war: assault weapons and large capacity magazines, which have no place in the hands of private citizens.
It is time to #MakeAmericaTruthfulAgain.

7 年My guess is that the NRA is using the "bump stock" issue as a way to give Congress a cheap victory on guns so they won't have to do any real hard work.

7 年First off, let me state that we are pro-gun in our family, for protection and hunting. We are NOT pro-massive assault weaponry in the hands of ordinary citizens! While there is a ban on the sale of automatic assault rifles in place, it's very easy to find kits to modify semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic. The availability of these kits seems to skirt around the ban on assault rifles as they are only "kits" and not the full weapon! Outrageous that such a concept is even acceptable! The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This Amendment, in the opinion of many, gives us the rights of keeping our guns, for our protection not only from criminals but our own government, should we ever face another revolution in this country. The Amendment was never seen to allow for weapons of such caliber as to fire off rounds at a rate of 100's per minute. These assault weapons should only be available in wartime to our military, for the defense of our own Country. However, with that being said, who is to say that there will never be another time in our future where the rights of the people are being thwarted by our own Government, like it was back in the 1700s? Do we have the right to be able to protect ourselves from such tyranny that may arise? Absolutely! However, with the military weaponry that is available today, not including the guns, could we even stand up against our military? Doubtful, and thus we exercise our rights through the democratic process and through our leaders. We MUST become a more civilized, educated nation. Again, we're pro - gun, for protection and hunting ONLY! So I really don't care to argue with anyone about the pros and cons of gun ownership. What I do believe MUST happen immediately is to ban the sale of kits that can make semi-automatics into massive killing machine guns! There is no need for that in our society. And, as if it isn't bad enough to think of killing one person even in self-defense, the massacres are becoming more routine, with each raising the bar for the next psychopath to achieve a higher kill rate! I heard this morning that this man had 47 guns, 33 of which he has acquired LEGALLY in the past year! HELLO??? 33 guns bought LEGALLY, and no red flag was thrown up at this? While he went through the proper channels to amass these weapons, WHY didn't something trigger in the background check system that this may be a HUGE problem? After all, we require the background checks to attempt to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not be in possession of deadly weapons, yet there is no "fail-safe" in place for mass purchases?? This does not make sense to me whatsoever. I believe this may be the FIRST place to start, to put into place restrictions on legal purchases, yet I'm also reminded that criminals don't follow the laws! If they want guns, they get guns! If they want automatic weapons, they certainly have ways to get them. Which brings me back to the 2nd Amendment! If we take away the rights of the citizens, how do we protect ourselves from criminals, government being overthrown by criminals as in other countries, and the like? There are no easy answers here. No "one size fits all" solution. Our mental health system is ineffective as it is now, with significant deficiencies to meet the demands. Access to care is limited, and the stigmatism of seeking mental health care hinders many from even trying. Our criminal justice system is flawed, as many people are penalized more severely for lesser crimes while those that commit heinous acts get a slap on the wrist. We don't value each other's lives any longer, as we let our differences define whose lives matter more than others, rather than seeing that each life matters!! We need to be talking to our communities, and reconnecting as human beings. Our fast paced, technologically advanced lives have reduced communications to texts and emails, without any emotion or connection. We must start interacting with each other, and come together to find solutions. This isn't a political problem, it's a human problem!

7 年Diana, I understand your feelings but calling the NRA evil feeds the dysfunctional polarization process of patriot fundamentalism. Watch Frontline -- if you have not seen it. NRA is about the megalomania of absolute freedom without regard to community interests and public health. We need to appeal to common sense of moderate NRA members to break away from the radicalized extremists and form an NRA of the 1960-1970.
