@georgetakei@universeodon.comDo you see how the NRA devalues lives for political gain? It’s amoral.
@TomWellborn @georgetakei "Tom hates fascism!"......but wants laws that due to court and law enforcement systems being structured as they are, will leave only fascists armed and more lgbt and minority people joining the ranks of those languishing in the mass imprisonment machine. At a time of rising militant fascism.
Make it make sense.
@JamieGC @georgetakei In the face of rising militant fascism, it is crucial to recognize the importance of promoting policies that bolster democracy, protect marginalized communities, and dismantle oppressive structures. There are no easy answers.
@TomWellborn @georgetakei if there was a politicial party supporting all that, I would be all in for it. Unfortunately we have a party committing literal genocide against trans community, and a party doing absolutely nothing of substance to stop it.
@JamieGC @TomWellborn @georgetakei
Do you think arming every single LGBT person would change anything for the better?
Cause it won't. None of us are going to fight our way out of a hostile continent. And we aren't going to destroy an armored vehicle with 9mm.
A gun is not going to save any of us from a systemic collapse and rise of fascism. Especially when, unlike previous entries, this one would have enough nuclear weapons to sterilize the entire planet for 75,000 years.
The entire doctrine of individual weapons somehow protecting one from a systemic problem has failed time and again.
@georgetakei
It's not amoral. It's 100% immoral. If they were indeed amoral, just by the laws of chance they'd have to get it right once in a while. But they don't, because they are horrible, wicked, immoral

@georgetakei
*immoral
@georgetakei "gun hating politicians should never go to bed unafraid of what this association and all of our millions can do to their political careers"
Fixed it.
@georgetakei he should be in prison
@georgetakei yes, is there a plan?
@georgetakei That’s a new level of arrogance coupled with a nasty threat.
Politicians you did this to yourselves,making alliances with the NRA for money. Your vote for cash.
Now I imagine many politicians would like to vote for gun safety,but this threat is leveled at you
@georgetakei The NRA-led gun lobby promotes an immoral environment in which gun manufacturers get richer, unstable individuals can purchase military style assault weapons without a background check, waiting period, or training, whilst innocent people—most appalling America’s young school-aged children—die by gun shots. It’s criminal.
@georgetakei I'm a responsible gun owner and veteran that never dreams of owning an F-16, tank, rocket launcher or a military assault style weapon such as the AR-15.... Hunting deer with any of these weapons is overkill and unnecessary...I will NEVER support a politician that receives $$ from the #nra
The USA was build on guns.
The USA killed the native population so they could steal the land.
The so called "Indians".
- In short, you cant take guns from the american people. Then they will revolt just like this man is covertly threatening with.
"devalue lives" does not make any sense in USA's historical context.
There have never been much value to human lives in the entire USA's history i'am afraid.
RE
“usa was built on guns"
And we can add, #AirRifle aka, #bbgun
https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/lewis-and-clarks-girandoni-air-rifle/
And actually many #indigenous people still use the word, "indian" many like it, many dont like it.
#navajo #navajonation #hopi #dine
But, on the net searching, "indian" it usually points to Asian Indians, unless you add other words, like New Mexico, etc
(Dont know if the old painting is accurate, historic accuracy has problems)
@georgetakei How is this slime ball organization still a non-profit?
@georgetakei
Surely the only people who should have a say in a politicians career is their constituents?
@georgetakei Pure #Terrorism in my opinion.
@georgetakei if the NRA cared one little bit, they would have taken the initiative themselves long ago to come up with a solution, but they continue to do NOTHING. That speaks volumes.
@georgetakei "Gun hating politicians should never go to bed unafraid...."
Implied threat there, IMO.
@georgetakei Unbelievable
www.newyorker.com/news/news-de…
@georgetakei That was sending a signal. This hate speech gets people killed. The nra counts on their most deranged members to carry this out.
@georgetakei not amoral. Immoral.
@georgetakei there are 100s of millions of guns in circulation and they aren’t going anywhere, and the 2A is here to stay. What to do? I’d say: 1) raise the purchase age for all guns to 21 (like alcohol & cigarettes), 2) enhance background checks, 3) increase waiting periods, 4) restrict the type of weapons available for purchase (similar to the previous assault weapons ban). Sadly, 4 seems like a long shot. Perhaps 1-3 could eventually gain bipartisan support.
@snakeoiler @georgetakei Would like to see #1 but that won't survive the courts. Would like to see #2 as well but that would require a true instant background check system that's usable by the public.
Would very much like to see people convicted of violence to animals or domestic violence being prohibited persons for ownership.
@allpoints @georgetakei “Would very much like to see people convicted of violence to animals or domestic violence being prohibited persons for ownership.” I agree with this.
@georgetakei Your country (USA) is scary as…!
@georgetakei Good god man, just ignore them. Most gun owners despise the NRA because they do nothing but make us all look bad. They're like the MAGA sect of gun owners... So far to the right that they'll never see the light of day again.
@georgetakei Fully agree. Sadly their opposition is in the same business. It's not about rights or safety, it's about selling fear for money and political power. There are steps we could take to reduce the number of people hurt or killed with firearms. But that's hard. Much easier to push for "thoughts and prayers" legislation.
@georgetakei they are Anti-Human
@georgetakei
The NRA is one of the fuels for this right-wing neofascism movement within the United States.
This is no time for moderates, we need the leftist radicals to kill this crippled elephant party.
@georgetakei
The depths of Republican's egosyntonicism has yet to be observed in totality. When ones measure for good and evil is centered on oneself as the binding point the results is a devaluation of everything that doesn't directly benefit oneself.
@georgetakei Sounds like they're only interested in money from gun sales. A long time ago, it was a culture of skills like marksmanship and safety.
@georgetakei they had a Twitter thread glorifying the grooming of children to face their destiny to die by gun.
"To keep power & profit, we at the NRA will take Russian money to betray American democracy, no matter how many children die".

@Npars01 Hooray for my new favorite hashtag!
@georgetakei
Speaking of..."taking money from russia no mater how many babies die"
#UkraineWar
How to we understand the current random bombing of civilization, I mean civilians?
That's true, every war/conflict has this random bombing of civilizations. Like US Airforce bombers leaving Thailand to do what they were ordered to do to the Vietnamese. The term #whataboutism comes around, when is it going to STOP?
LIVE Ukraine Telegram Channel https://t.me/liveukraine_media
It's going to stop when the political parties taking oil bribes to fund Putin's genocidal war are exposed.
The same industry funding an anti-democracy movement in the USA is funding Putin's war.
Oil oligarchs & their financiers.
#KochNetwork & OPEC+ fund malign influence campaigns on Fox News to undermine Ukraine & American defense & buy politicians in the USA, UK, Canada, France, & Australia.

The money given, is given for a return favor and the end is?
To have more divided voters and have (on election week) more division in (purple) States, co-workers, parents, friends, classmates, etc.
THE BIG THING is this crazy MAGA rightwing verbal crap, GETS THEM VOTES.
Because the R voters, if stimulated by crap, come out and 
95+% of them vote
It could of been more, but 5% had a bad leg day (From #michaelmoore )
@georgetakei luckily, the GOP is full of cowardly mfs who will see nothing wrong with being threatened by a death cult leader.
@georgetakei Remember that time he went hiding on a yacht? Being on land was so dangerous for him that he hid on the water. He was hiding from guns
@georgetakei Bully Boy LaPierre threatens and talks big. He’s an f*ing coward. “National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre admitted to hiding on his wealthy friend's yacht because of a "security threat" after deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.” (Newsweek 2021).
@georgetakei and I'm sure he said that knowing that guns weren't allowed at the event he said that at.
@georgetakei Is he a complete idiot? Does he not realize how many liberal, LGTBQ, & socialists own guns? Maybe he’s never heard of Pink Pistols, but he’d have to live under a rock. I see right through his Chicken Little argument & I bet I’m not the only one.
@georgetakei I love how 100% of what you put out into the world is outrage about political issues.This is the kind of voice we really need!
@georgetakei despicable! These gun lobbyists need to be taken down ….. politically that is! I abhor violence!
@georgetakei How is NRA not treated as terrorist threat? This is beyond Taliban.
@georgetakei Worse yet, they're taught (and are teaching) that this choice of money or power over lives is the moral choice. Doing good, for them, is evil.
I probably don't need to add that Ignorance is Strength.
@georgetakei just plain evil. Inhumanely so.
@georgetakei
I see the NRA is choosing the politicians. I remember when voters did that.
@georgetakei It is a mental disorder and should be labeled as such. It is a dangerous, deadly cult. Treatments need to be funded, publicized, and promoted. The #NRA needs to be declared a terrorist organization and members shamed in polite society. #Politics
@georgetakei more gun sales support the prez lavish lifestyle
