Once more, I offer a suggestion: let some large foundation offer to ‘any major motion picture studio’ up to five hundred million dollars to fund a movie in which bright and attractive young people amuse themselves by killing major motion picture studio executives in entertaining ways – and get away with it. (There should be a requirement that the movie at least make its cost back, to keep it from being made and hidden away.)

I think the foundation’s money would be very safe.

Is there an "indirect" link?

So when conservatives try to parrot back the same idiocies spouted by the left for decades, all of a sudden “there’s no proof.” That’s never slowed down libs before. LaPierre should have known better.

Wow, those results mirror that of gun sales and ownership. About the only direct correlation to gun crime appears to be prohibition of concealed carry.

What do they say about “gun free zones” and mass murders?

Or is that too hard for them?

It must be true, the NRA has no reason to lie.
