NRA Gun regulations

8mmRem · February 2, 2013, 01:51 AM

Why doesn't the NRA refute the news media with facts of people saving them selves with the use of a firearm? I know they post some incidents in thier magazines but why not get them on the news. I keep hearing 30,000 people are killed by guns each year but how many are saved?

Those stories do not fit the MSM "Gunz r BAD" template.

The NRA does collect and publish this information on their WEB site, so it is readily available to any News Agency. However, as Jimbob said this does not always fit the Media’s narrative as it relates to firearms.

And how much money have you given them do do this? It is costing them lots to fight the battle as it is. Have you donated to this fight? Try to place an ad your self with the anti gun media!
ARE YOU A NRA MEMBER?

The NRA has "Gun Regulations"?

Aren't those the rules about which guns can be used in what matches?

Oh, yeah. That's it.

Our local news covers successful self-defense stories. The national networks have decided that gun are bad.

Also, you want the NRA to compete with Bloomberg, give them more money. He can fund a Superbowl ad.
