Good for you . But it’s my right to own any firearms legally. It’s not about semiautomatic weapons it’s about control. Asked Australia how that’s working out .

Yes, look at all the charities including American Red Cross who's executives keep all but a small portion going to where it is needed.

Default Similarities? Second amendment and deed restrictions?

Second Amendment: ...shall not be infringed...

Deed Restrictions: ....no lawn ornaments..

Both simple and not confusing, yet both seem to upset some folks.

Just saying..

Don't stop with the NRA...look into Planned Parenthood's
books and salaries, too!

Comparing murder with fraud and theft by a charity is quite something

Of course its a lobby group. If it didnt exist the 2A would have been dead and buried long ago. This type of lawsuit makes my blood boil. Primadonna politicos spending tax money to take away a freedom. Its reprehensible. Please spare me the lectures on how guns have killed. The gun never killed. Typically it is a spoiled whacko or a product of the worst legislation to ever be passed. The welfare system. Sorry for the rant but where do these people get off? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I do believe it is their job.

And once again, this has nothing to do with guns...it is about people stealing from members for their own use.

Freedman, all non automatic guns are semi-automatic, meaning they fire one shot each time the trigger is pulled. So any gun you own is semi-automatic. Even a revolver, that is, it fires one round each time the trigger is pulled.

It is already illegal to sell automatic firearms. You have to have a special federal expensive license to own an automatic firearm. You should know more about what you are talking about before getting into a discussion.

Yes it is quite something. Failing to address the huge increase in violent crime and redirecting valuable time and resources to something much less evil makes sense?
