1. God Bless Our SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT

2. If they’d put down those phones they could have stopped him. Weakness lost

3. People say there needs to be an age restriction for gun buyers. I disagree, age has nothing to do with it, many of the shooters in massacres are actually over 18 years old. It's a mental health crisis, there needs to be more enforcement of people having to have criminal background checks and psych evaluations before buying weapons. Too many gun sellers don't do the necessary checks before selling weapons because they care more about profit than people losing lives to crazed and violent people with guns. There are already laws in place to mandate it but they are not enforced as they should be.

4. You need a license for a firearm but you don't need one to be a parent THATS THE REAL PROBLEM

5. The NRA is not responsible for a mentally ill individual killing people. Mentally ill people slip through the cracks and are ignored. It is a shame that mentally ill people slip through the cracks and are allowed to commit carnage. Schools allow bullying. Bullied people often commit criminal actions. The PBS should never receive government funds for their biased reporting.

   I survived a home invasion by 2 men. A firearm protects life by enabling women with the ability to protect themselves. It is a woman's right to protect herself and her children with firearms. I am a survivor. Anti-2A progressives would rather that all women become unarmed, unprotected, defenseless targets for criminals. The NRA did not have the 2 men break into my house. The NRA has provided safety training since 1871. The Eddie Eagle children safety program has taught children for over 30 years.

   There are over 237 pages of federal gun control laws and countless pages of state gun control laws. Not one of these laws affect criminals. Criminals do not follow laws because they obtain firearms through the Black Market, Drug Deals, Straw Purchases, theft and other illegal means. Vehicles kill more people than firearms. No progressive politician proposes legislation to go after criminal actions.

6. Evil exists. Making all firearms vanish doesn’t change the number of people who want to kill children. It is not suddenly ok when a person with a simple bolt action hunting rifle walks into a school and starts enjoying unlimited power and kills.

   People want to kill you. Deal with it with defense.

   The deadliest school attack in American history isn’t even with a firearm… it was with a bomb. And that wasn’t even 100 years ago. You can make simply explosives with a cooking device, or chemical attacks with grocery story cleaning products.

   Or, just swing by your local hardware store and make your own gun in an afternoon. In a weekend, you can make one with a magazine. It isn’t hard.

   Stop pretending evil doesn’t exist and you can make a rule to stop them.

7. Why doesn't Frontline do a documentary on how major cities that are a liberal democratic majority have the most strict gun/knife laws and the correlation of high crime rates

8. If Sandy Hook didn't change the laws nothing will.

9. Crazy how 90% of school shootings happen with a democratic president in office to try and take our guns easier

10. Oh! So THIS is not biased? It's NOT BIASED, huh?

11. The NRA is bad ass.

12. I feel the loss for every parent that lost their children to school shootings. However, when they march and use their kids as a push to gun control their attacking our rights and freedom and they lost their common sense. Attacking the second amendment means more bloodshed and making it easy for criminals to attack innocents.

    no they haven't and they are starting to find themselves on the wrong side of history if they don't adapt.

    I don't understand either President Biden. i really do not. and i dont understand how so many people keep voting for trump when if anyone in history of the country deserved to get 0 votes or negative votes it is trump.

18. 36:56

    so you mean to tell me that the NRA finally did something right and then chickened out bc some small no name rinkymadink group ive never even heard of b4 of hardcore wackos waved their pinky finger and said nuh-uh?

    grrr…

19. 32:56

    and the more the NRA switches from being about public safety and helping hunters and helping people learn how not to use guns in murderous ways….and switches too being a political group about money and power and out for themselves and not caring who gets hurt in the process…

    the more they are making an enemy of 2-3 generations of young people.

    eventually they will get old and pass away of natural causes and no longer be able to vote.

    by then they will have poisoned everyone against guns completely and shot their own cause in the foot or perhaps given their own cause a mortal wound.

    i was born in 1984 and grew up in rural central pennsylvania in the 1980s and 1990s.

    as recently as the early 1990s some families still needed to hunt in every single hunting season in pennsylvania learning multiple weapons even archery in order to keep food on the table for their families.

    as recently as the late 1990s you still needed hunters and people with guns who knew how to use them properly to keep bear and bobcat populations down and keep the deer population managed etcetera.

    my uncle owned one of the first DART target ranges in the eastern united states where one side was low tech hay bales for traditional archery practice and the other side was high tech with lasers mounted to rifles and pistols and some other set up for bows and arrows where it was all integrated with videos/scenes/training scenarios. everyone from like 10 years old and up used to practice during our extended family annual easter gatherings when the shop was closed.

    my middle school had a rifle club and a safe protected range was built into the school hidden away where only certain people knew where it was and how to access it and the club members were handpicked and anyone with any mental issues or bullying tendencies or any reason whatsoever to doubt whetehr they should be around guns or not was not allowed to join or kicked out even when their family members were powerful in the community. i wasn't a member but that was because i lacked the time and committment for it and was focused on school and lacked enough interest. i did consider joining, but didnt really have a reason to do so.

    i learned the bare basics of how to shoot a 30.06 and 30-30 rifles and a couple types of shot guns when i was 10-14 years old in middle school at our family's camp out in the woods.

    i've been taught my entire life about guns and militias and how it was normal people with guns and militias that beat the british and granted us a country, how the same reasons are why the us military lost in vietnam to a certain extent, how we need access to guns in case of foreign invasion or in case the government collapse or in case someone like trump and his cult of idiots wins and tries to kill off anyone he doesnt like or agree with…

    my dad was a long time NRA member from long before i was even born until the mid 1990s.

    he quit bc it was getting too expensive and because it had become too political and abandoned its ideals and because he didnt like what was going on and they were basically condoning violence and were borderline a cult and almost becoming an extremist organization and mainly because he wanted to keep me safe or something he said and didnt want me around it or indoctrinated and whatever else he said i didnt really understand at the time and didnt pay enough attention to what he was talking about.

    but yeah the nra started making me an enemy when i was only 12 years old and first saw their sticker on a travel trailer my dad had recently bought from someone else and was using out at the local flea market circuit

    i was 14 when columbine happened in 1998.

    the only reason i wasnt turned completely against the nra is basically becasue either they went dark in the 2010s or because i stopped completely following the news pretty much after 2008 for about 10-15 years or some combination there of.

    only part way through this documentary and so far i'm seething and struggling to remind myself that no one is really worth hating/loathing even this organization. but it is a bit difficult not to despise some of them at least, and to keep reminding myself that without an organization like this the government could potentially run ramshod over gun owners and even ban hunting or something.

    ——————–

    but then nra is shooting itself in the darn foot, because in most parts of the country hunting isnt necessary, we still have national guard and militias, we have police that are allowed to be armed with assault weapons now that never used to be allowed to be, the reasons for owning military grade weapons have never been strong and have basically gone away… there isnt really any reason to have pistols or assault weapons or machine guns. rifles and shot guns are bad enough and usually more then enough protection….most pistol owners get murdered by their own guns or shoot themselves bc they dont go through gun safety or hunter safety or proper gun handling training.

    the nra would be better served to just disband and be replaced with a hunter/gun safety organization like they used to be or revert back to being that like they used to be.

    by continually condoning violence against children they are just losing over and over again, they think they are winning but eventually gen x gen z and millenials and this new gen alpha will come to be the only remaining voters and the nra will have no power once boomers are gone compared to how it used to be powerful, and they wont have the votes to stop gun control and without an opposition force gun control may go to the extent they feared about guns being taken away completely.

    the constitution's 2nd amendment only states people have the right to form militias and that militias have the right to bear arms in defense of their nation and their communities. individuals only have that right by extension tacitly/partially.

    —————
    so yeah be careful how many young people you make an enemy of now nra or it will eventually come back to bite everyone.

20. 23:51 so it was the NRA who stole the election from Al Gore in 2000? good to know. i wondered how George W. Bush came out of absolutely no where and beat both John McCain and Al Gore in the same year in 2000 when i was only 16 and not able to vote yet for either of them. i knew Karl Rove and company "Swift Boat Vet"ing John McCain in the Republican Primary wasn't the whole story.

22. I'm interested in hearing all sides of everything, but when they can't even get the rifle caliber correct as it pertains to the Kennedy assassination, you start to question other things.

23. Jonesboro shooting was the first school shooting, not columbine.

24. Thomas Barbara Lopez Sarah Young David

25. All this mass shooting is coming from people who have never been in trouble with law enforcement so we know what you mean about back ground checks you want to blame black Americans most of all mass shootings are coming from one race how can these people have more power than Congress it's about money not people lives

26. The NRA has become a shell of it's former self

27. We want out fucking guns the nra doesn’t force us to have guns 😂😂😂 don’t thread me protecting out family and peers and strangers is our duty as citizens.

28. Yall love to spin mental health and
    Guns together

30. THOU SHALT NOT KILL

31. Wayne Lapierre was found liable

32. Tisha James being Elected was the best thing to come out of 2018 Elections

33. You are five times more likely to be killed by hands and feet than an AR! If you want to join a pro 2A organization look to GOA or one of several other organizations, not the NRA!

34. Bye Bye Wayne LaPierre

35. The NRA used to be the most powerful gun lobby now it's just a hollow shell of it's former self since the aftermath Parkland & Uvalde

36. Who else is here after Wayne LaPierre resigned?
