"Many in legacy media love mass shootings. You guys love it," (NRA Spokeswoman) Dana Loesch said Thursday. "Now I'm not saying that you love the tragedy. But I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in the legacy media in the back (of the room)."

The NRA loves mass shootings also. Their spokespersons willingly step in front of the same media cameras after every shooting, promoting sales of guns. And it works...look at the spikes in gun sales after each incident...

To be honest we all love a good school shooting.

Sort of a dystopian future thing where a hand full of kids are killed for the drama and excitement of the rest of society.

If we didn't love it we would have fixed it by now

They have to go in front of cameras to defend what they are.

Promoting 2nd amendment rights. Gun safety and training.

It's not like they're Planned Parenthood.

I dunno about that...never see alcohol beverage lobbyists in front of the cameras after a drunk driver kills a buncha people...

might be a better strategy if the NRA stays in the background rather than step in front of a camera and point fingers and throw bombs, especially as more people seem to want some common sense gun safety measures...that spokesperson, Loesch, may have hurt the NRA's cause by blaming the media for hyping mass shootings...

They are defending themselves... Ever see the media blame Budweiser after a drunk driver kills someone..?? Or the auto industry..?? 😕

And you don't see a coordinated effort by a biased media to portray things in one light (with your example).

I'll worry about lowering bluster when Victor does.

Al, we have common sense gun laws. The overwhelming majority of law abiding gun owners never commit a crime with their guns. (like higher than 98.2%)

Every damn time some nut job does something stupid with a gun, the libs want to punish every law abiding citizen who DIDN'T do it with more restrictions... which does nothing to deter criminals.

Media is biased, either left or right, that is a given. I don't see a business decision as being a political decision. I think you have lost your sense of perspective. I am still interested in a logical support of your view. If you don't want to do that then so be it. You don't agree with my logic but I have tried to present my view in a logical way.

MACS, I'm a liberal and I see no value to further gun control. There must be an answer out there somewhere, but I don't see it. It certainly breaks my heart to see the senseless lose of life.

what do I have to do with this? My only two criticisms here are for the georgia governors office trying to go after a private company for treating NRA members like everyone else, and the NRA for their ridiculous rambling speech after the shooting.

What bluster are you talking about?

this lib proudly agrees

ruined it by assuming all libs. see above

we won't assume all gun owners should be punished if you stop assuming that's their goal.

so, can we work on stopping people's loss of the Right to Life...you know, getting killed?

Guns don't kill people but they seem to be the weapon of choice. How can any discussion be off limits? Legal and responsible gun owners simply have to help solve this.

we can worry about the other two pursuits of rights later, but I'd dismiss any argument that the right to own guns is more important than the Right to Life...there is no Liberty or Happiness without it.

this is not an abortion debate.

My "euro centric" remark was directed at the guys who were talking about fascism and communism and agreed that fascism made better sauces. Well, those guys were a peein...and have never enjoyed the culinary delights available in the vast communist corner of the world...China.
