Today, thanks to libs and all their inaccurate blaming of the NRA over the last couple weeks, and companies attacking innocent law-abiding Americans... I joined the NRA.
I'm now a proud NRA member.
NRA used to favored banning certain guns like the submachine guns, the AR-15 and other guns that are military style. This was back in the 1920s. The NRA changed like back in the 1970s to be a far right nutjobs that cares about giving the 2nd Amendment Rights to ISIS and others who will do harm to others. They are the ones that bought and paid the Republicans to not pass any gun laws.
1.NRA are against raising the age of limit for someone to buy those types of guns. It would have kept the kid in Florida from buying the gun and killing the kids in the school. Since the age of buying booze and cigarettes are 21. Why not do the same for the guns for gun safety?
2nd.They are against background checks which includes stopping mentally disturbed people and terrorists of both domestic and foreign from getting the guns.
3.They want to armed every teachers and school employees to stop those nutjobs. The bad part is that these mentally disturbed will still go to the school and shoot people big time. The other part in the crossfire, teachers and employees could shoot and kill other students and employees instead of the active shooter. Another part is that when police gets there, they would shoot and kill the teachers and employees with the guns thinking they are the active shooter. In Georgia, a teacher who is license to conceal and carry starting firing on people. Luckily, he hit nobody. Arming teachers is a bad thing as well. I know some teachers are depressed or on medication for some other type of illness.
Another issue is that the ACLU came in and took the rights away from family members to forcibly sending their loved ones into a mental hospital because they could hurt themselves. The ACLU said that it was against the rights of the mentally ill people being forced into a mental hospital. We needed a federal law that would allow loved ones have the right to forced them to get the help that they need. It ties up the system not just for the parents, but the schools and the police to handle.
A lot of bull**** in that post.

The 1934 Act didn't ban any type of weapon, even a submachine gun. It did impose a tax on their transfer. The AR-15 didn't exist in 1934 and of course was not included in any fictional account of what you think the 1934 National Firearms Act did or didn't do or ban.

Pure bull****. THe NRA created their 'Legislative Affairs Division' to work on 2nd Amendment protection in 1934. In 1968 the NRA supported major parts of the gun Control Act of 1968 that would prevent convicted criminals and the mentally ill from purchasing firearms.
Current members of Congress have received a grand total of $4.1mm from the NRA. OH THE HORROR!!!! Politicians in 3rd world countries don't come that cheap.

In this country you are an adult at 18. Buying a firearms is a constitutional right. Of course the NRA is against raising the age, as everybody should be.
It's pure speculation that raising the age would have prevented him from carrying out his attack on the school. At best it would have changed the way he obtained the weapon.

Yeah the NRA supports arming teachers, as do a large number of people. HEre's the NRA's recommendation following Sandy Hook.
"“Teachers should teach, but if there is personnel that has interest and is willing to go through 40 to 60 hours of [firearms] training, then schools should be willing to [arm them],” Hutchinson said. He added that the report found that “local school authorities are in the best position” to determine their own school security measures, “specifically whether an armed security guard is necessary and supported by the education and citizen community.”
The task force recommended that schools designate willing staff to be armed and trained, and it proposed a model training program, 40-60 hours per person, at what Hutchinson said would be a cost of about $800 to $1,000 per trained employee. Armed school personnel, called school resource officers, would also be required to undergo a “background investigation, testing, and [have] relevant experience.”
