N.R.A. Stymies Firearms Research, Scientists Say

Note the use of the term "firearms research" to hide their true agenda.

Do you fear the research won't bear out proof guns make us all safer? If not, why not fund the research and open a can of whoop #### on the mamby pamby folks who so wrongly claim guns can cause harm?

Research is always done by libruls so their conclusions are always biased towards a librul agenda hence why the NRA don't want no namby pamby research done on guns.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

Leftists griping about us not spending enough of other people's money for ####### research. Yup, definitely a familiar theme indeed.

You want the research done? PAY FOR IT YOURSELF.

It doesn't matter in the slightest whether or not guns make us safer - that's not

why we have the right to bear arms.

Lets fund research on how to restrict the first amendment rights for certain religions.

Lets fund research on how to stop abortions and circumvent Roe v. Wade.

How about it? we will confiscate money you earn and use it to legislate against your rights?

So let me get this straight, you guys are advocating the federal government spend money on things like "do certain household items increase the risk of death in the house?"

Do we really need our tax dollars to decide those things for us?

Once upon a time we were smart enough to decide what should be in our house and what shouldn't.

Individualism is something that the modern left/communists/socialist absolutely hate. Along with individualism comes personal responsibility as well. You can't have one without the other and both are things that the modern left hates with a passion. To them "responsibility" is just giving the government as much money as possible so it can protect you from yourself and everyone else. It's also there to take more away from you if you dare to try and work harder than someone else.

A man once found his own way to work to feed his family. A man once took care of his own business and didn't expect everyone to help him. Now he relies on government to build his roads, feed his family, get him a job, pay him when he doesn't have a job, etc. His responsibility is nil if he doesn't want it to be. Of course, let me change that a bit. If you're "non-white male" then you get all of the assistance in the world. Otherwise you are looked at as 'privileged' for being a white-male and you had it 'so easy' even in 2011

The enemy of the United States of America as she was founded IS the modern left. There are plenty of republicans who claim to be 'libertarian or conservative' who fit this bill as well. They are treasonous at times, they are destructive, and the last damn thing they care about is liberty. Unless of course that liberty is being able to protest a business that they don't like or an individual they don't like who asks for liberty. Then it's all open season.

What do you mean I have to take care of myself?

Like the lead paint I used to snack on when I wasn't sleeping on my stomach or running with scissors. I used to ride standing up on the front seat of the car, and in the back of pickup trucks, we could smoke in the grocery store, and we played with the mercury when a thermometer broke.

And I never heard of a mamby-pamby peanut alergy!

Exactly what's wrong with society today. No more natural selection.

And you of course, are now offering to have gun owners pay the cost for all medically related expenses caused by guns?

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

#### no! GTFO! You think car owners should have to pay for all medical expenses due to cars? What kind of whacked out thinking is this?

Why should I pay for medical expenses caused by someone else? What a dufus idea!

Firearms ownership is an individual RIGHT. Deal with it. You don't have to like it. The government is forbidden from infringing on that right. The government should not be funding "research" on how to restrict that right.

We have plenty of laws covering liability and negligence and responsibility for that, whether it is with guns, cars, table saws, or lawn mowers. If you are injured by a gun and it is YOUR fault...too f*uckin' bad for you, dumb@ss. If you are injured by a gun and it is someone else's fault...sue them. Leave me out of it.

The NRA was also instrumental in implmenting the Act which prohibited the suing of firearms manufacturers for the actions of others and limits their liability to that of manufacturing a product without defects...the same as any other product.

The NRA WILL be there, as they have been since 1871, to fight any backdoor attempts to infringe on our rights by anti-civil rights activists. They will also be bringing more and more litigation to the Supreme court and build on the victories already. More and more states will adopt "constitutional carry"...no concealed permit required.

They will also effectively fight attempts to fund the destruction of civil rights with taxpayer money. You want these studies? Write a check!

Well yeah! That's why we have things like Bodily Injury Liability

and Personal Injury Liability included in our car insurance policies.

And I am not paying for gun related medical issues? Of course I am, we all are. This is one right which comes with exceptionally high costs both financially and in terms of human suffering.
