What is the NRA's solution to "fix" our current problems with Mass Shootings?

[Dragonfly]

Is there an official NRA outline on how to fix the problems we're seeing more and more around mass shootings?
Has a "solution" been offered by the NRA as to what to do?

We're seeing more and more mass shootings, and school shootings.
More often than not with semi-auto, tactical rifles.

What's the actual NRA stance on the best path forward to reduce not only the number of mass shootings, but also the number of casualties in each shooting?

How does the NRA propose we "fix" the thing that's currently broken in the USofA?

Instead of writing your question on an anonymous forum why don't you just write, or call, the NRA and ask them directly? Pretty sure that no one here runs the NRA.

Lady, a guy with a big bore slide action shotgun could do at least as much damage as that kid do yesterday, so spare us the "semi-auto tactical" meme.

Want my solution? When the kind of people who do these things were in places where they could receive mental health treatment and not harm themselves or others there was less of this, at least in my lifetime. If you don't want to do that, take their guns away and they'll start running people over with trucks, like they do overseas.

Their solution is to arm everyone, of course.

I thought it was the medical profession that was responsible for people going off the rocker.
Aren't they the ones that treat those lunatics?!?

 

[GDViking]

Idk about the nra however my solution would be to do the best to keep any shooters alive and sentencing them to a hell on earth by making sure they are in general population and offering prisoners special treatment for treating him "special" and make sure he lives a long painful life.

Also make sure his lifestyle is leaked to the press often, after all these guys always want their names in the media.

Why is it the NRA's job to "fix" anything? What is the legal basis for the NRA having responsibility for the shootings?

Here is the NRAs mission statement:

The heart of The NRA Foundation’s mission is preserving the core of our American values and traditions in our steadfast effort to Teach Freedom.

Established in 1990, The NRA Foundation, Inc. (“NRA Foundation”) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearm-related public interest activities of the National Rifle Association of America and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans. These activities are designed to promote firearms and hunting safety, to enhance marksmanship skills of those participating in the shooting sports, and to educate the general public about firearms in their historic, technological and artistic context. Funds granted by The NRA Foundation benefit a variety of constituencies throughout the United States including children, youth, women, individuals with physical disabilities, gun collectors, law enforcement officers, hunters and competitive shooters.

The bolded is exactly what they are doing. Look, the shootings are a tragedy I agree and maybe there is something the government can do about it I don't know. However, it is not the NRAs responsibility to "fix" anything.

Unless the NRA suddenly became a part of the Legislative branch, I don't think they be offering any solutions.

And I would point out that rifles, semi automatic or otherwise, are not the primary instrument used in firearms murders

And "Tactical" is an adjective, not a noun.

tac•ti•cal
(ˈtæk tɪ kəl)

adj.
1. of or pertaining to tactics, esp. military or naval tactics.

2. characterized by skillful tactics or adroit maneuvering or procedure.

I can use a hammer "tactically".

How does the NRA propose we "fix" the thing that's currently broken in the USofA?

For starters, by not doing something emotional, rash and foolish. By not giving up an essential liberty that people died for, in order to pass measures proven not to save lives.

We don't need to offer an alternative to a bad idea, not doing it is enough. That said, if you really want to address shootings in this country, you must address the underlying causes.

Addressing suicide would go a long way to reducing gun violence, since it accounts for more than half of it. Then there is gang related violence caused by the prohibition known as the War on Drugs. Then mental health issues, people on SSRI's, enforcing the laws on the books so people who shouldn't have guns can't get them. Perhaps not releasing repeat offenders and violent felons to make room for non-violent victimless criminals.

But banning a type of firearm that is responsible for < 1% of shootings makes no sense. Most mass shootings are done with handguns; banning those would be unconstitutional, attempting to do so would be very unwise and would disarm the law abiding from the most easily carried and concealed means of self defense. Something specifically protected by the Heller decision.

Dead children are an acceptable operating cost for the weapon manufacturing lobby that is the NRA.

They would trade every one of our children's lives to perpetuate their greed.

The NRA does not care about Americans. They do not care about children. They care about their money.

Why would the NRA have to fix anything, it is not gun ownership that is the issue. Blaming violence on the tool used is utter nonsense and would change nothing. Deal with identifying those with behavioral problems, deal with the mental health issue that is obviously behind all mass shootings, and go after the criminals that commit violent crime, do that and the majority of violence will be resolved.

Yes, because we shouldn't let our emotions about 17 dead, innocent children bar anyone from feeling like they have some sort of power, even though they know it's just a panacea, and their little pea shooter amounts to nothing more than a tool for slaughtering innocent people.

If Trump decided to declare martial law, and start rounding up this group and that group, your pea-shooter isn't going to stop sophisticated military hardware.

Your need to feel less weak continues to cost innocent lives.

That must the reason Hitler made it illegal for Jews to own guns; because they were useless.

All mass murders and genocides have one thing in common: the victims were defenseless.

Seems like a more realistic option than asking would be murderers to disarm themselves.

The NRA cannot cure leftist insanity. It's not their responsibility or their role. It's like asking what the carpenter's union fix is for making sure hammers are not used to crush skulls.

More warning labels?

The more legitimate question is why have our government schools become havens for the socially unfit and when will leftists begin to learn how dangerous, unsuitable, and ill-equipped the government is in educating the young.

We have a Second Amendment. There should be no security problems in our free States. Mooching federal dollars for alleged, nationalized and socialized wars on crime, drugs, and terror, does not embarrass the right.

 

[BreadConqueror]

What is YOUR solution?

We outlaw non-hunting long rifles and large capacity magazines. There should be few on the market.
Long-rifles require hunting licenses.
Universal background checks, nation-wide.
Mental health screening before gun purchases.
National gun registration. (No I don't care if the government knows where the guns are. Deal with your paranoia.)
Limits on ammunition purchases. (I don't care about sovereign citizen secessionist garbage)
Students who are expelled from high schools should not be allowed to have weapons.
Parents of students who are expelled for behavior reasons must surrender their weapons as well. If they want to keep their guns, they keep their kids in order.

Common sense stuff. It isn't that difficult to come up with policies which might save lives.
And if even one innocent child lives, it is worth it.

Fewer guns certainly won't mean more deaths.

 

[faithful_servant]

I agree with that solution.

We definitely need armed schools. A well trained group of teachers in every school should have quick access to a firearm and schools should have BIG signs in front that read "THIS IS AN ARMED CAMPUS. ANY ATTEMPTS TO CAUSE HARM TO OUR CHILDREN OR STAFF WILL BE MET WITH DEADLY FORCE." Our schools also need ONE controlled point of entry (with multiple points of egress) that can be closely monitored at all times.
