So, now we’ve got police going to the wrong address and shooting innocent civilians, and white civilians shooting innocent black kids who ring the wrong doorbell. The persistence of hate narratives and shoot-first-ask-questions-later knee jerk reactions show how absolutely dangerous an fueled gun society is. Their answer: More Guns! Because “guns aren’t the problem. People are the problem.” My question: So why in God’s name would you give guns to the problem?

Real shame. #WompWomp

#NRA's most recent tax return reveals dramatic declines along almost every conceivable metric: revenue, assets, member dues, lobbying, and political spending — with conversely sharp increases in legal costs and deficits.

2022 was the fourth year in a row that revenue fell, marking its weakest fundraising year since at least 2008.

Membership dues are at all-time lows. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-nra-is-at-rock-bottomand-15-years-of-tax-filings-tell-the-story

He does not care about the plebs.

He discovered he could make a little more money peddling his book. That's it. Controversy sells books - so he's spinning up controversy.

Don't buy his book unless you'd like to contribute to his retirement fund - which is already nicely padded by and gun lobby money.

Supreme Court Thursday cleared the way for a National Rifle Association lawsuit against a former New York state official over claims she violated its free-speech rights.

The unanimous opinion reverses a lower court decision tossing out the gun rights group’s lawsuit against ex-New York State Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo.

"Canada is so much nicer!"

Said by ignorant and/or privileged folks.

We just have less deaths by clownshow guns because #Canada has federal #GunControl & not the freaking state to state absolute crap happening in USA where they kill their own citizens on a daily basis.

#USA politicians are too scared to do better by their own citizens & allowing longtime #NRA nutjobs to run USA further into global embarrassing grounds.

No one except #ignorant ppl think that USA is the best country.

Why does #America continue to resist #GunControl?

On the face of it, it looks like the toxic influence of the #NRA but in the end from afar it does seem that surely the lack of politic will has deeper roots?

Whatever it is, the death toll from rampant #gunviolence continues to rise; elsewhere countries manage to stop this (indeed even some states - Massachusetts for instance - have reduced fatalities through some further regualtion)...

My American friends, elsewhere this is not normal!

Ladies and Gents, I give you the totally clueless and tone deaf ACLU:

Now they've gone to Court in support of the NRA as well as Trump.

How dare a Federal Court impose a gag order on Trump. How dare the NY Dept. of Financial Svcs advise banks should consider the reputational risks of doing business with the NRA.

The ACLU can't see the forest for the trees. I'm glad I'm no longer a member or giving them any of my money.

MIND NUMBING STAT

Last night, the US endured its 395th mass shooting (4 or more shot) of the year.

To date, the United States of America is having 2.16 mass shootings PER DAY!

Gun shots are the leading cause of death among children under 18 years of age.

Until we vote out the Republicans, we will never have true gun control in the US!

MAGA Americans harken to the #2A as a bulwark against dictatorship.

MAGA Americans cheer on Donald Trump when he lays out his plans to become the first Emperor of the American Empire if he is elected in November.

You cannot accuse them of #CognitiveDissonance because that assumes Magats are thinking...

Trump has pledged to continue to defend the Second Amendment and has called himself “the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House” as the United States faces record numbers of deaths due to mass shootings. Last year ended with 42 mass killings and 217 deaths, making it one of the deadliest years on record.

#TheOrangeMenace told the crowd at an #NRA event Friday that when it comes to #MassShootings, people need to "Get over it" and that Mass Shootings are "not a gun problem".

(Oh, and he also called for The Death Penalty for #Biden before a crowd of heavily armed gun nuts.) 🤔
