You are entitled to your opinion. I at least appreciate you phrasing you doubts nicely. I know my dislike for the work of the NRA is very unpopular here.

I wouldn’t dream of carrying a concealed (or unconcealed) weapon to mass. Why would I need to?

No, no, no. No sale! It’s not my opinion. It’s been stated more than once by the NRA itself. As a non-profit, the NRA’s finances are open to the public. Those claiming the NRA is “Driven by funding from gun manufacturers to keep the money flowing” should be able to easily back-up their assertions on this matter with fact.
I am certain you cannot, because they’re simply are not accurate.

I’m just letting your own words speak for themselves. I don’t know how else to read that.
false/misleadings statements + appeals to emotion = what really bothers me

It’s not your dislike of the NRA that’s troublesome. It’s the fact you tell non-truths about the organization. Huge difference.

I am not completely sure of the regulations. Rural areas may be more “gun inclined” for sporting reasons… people in cities not so much. I’ve never had an interest to look into it and as I said I don’t know anyone who does.
I’m not sure what you mean by diversity. Rural areas and small cities may not be overly diverse, but major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal certainly are. If I recall correctly, 50% of the people in Toronto were born outside of Canada. My own city (Burnaby in the Greater Vancouver area) is 40% white, 30% Chinese-Canadian, and 30% a mixed bag of pretty much everything.

Yeah, except this “good guy with a gun” didn’t stop the shootings at the church, did he? He only accosted and shot at the suspect after the damage was done.

Here’s a truth about the NRA:
They promote fear and division and hatred in our society to further their evil agenda.
You don’t believe me? Watch this video. This is the NRA.

I see this claim made a lot. First of all, Canada has a very diverse population, just as diverse as the US.
Second, what is it about diversity that you believe contributes to our high gun homicide rate? Are you thinking of any particular ethnic group? Please explain. I’m not sure what your point is.

Thank God for the man (Mr. Stephen Willeford) for neutralizing the killer. Many more might have been killed without this man’s actions.
Yes, it is unfortunate that he was at his house, rather than in the church and armed when the killer entered. He might have been able to save even more lives.
The fact he had to run to his gun safe, unlock it, grab a firearms, loose rounds and an empty magazine WHILE running barefoot TOWARDS the sound of fire in the church is just awesome. Thank God for this man.

Please stop lying about the NRA. Sadly, the video you provided a link to is 100% factual. I wish things were different but they are not.
The promoters of “fear and division and hatred in our society to further their evil agenda” would be all the anti-gun extreme politicians who use “gun control” as a wedge issue to corral and inculcate voters.
Again, please stop lying about the NRA – the US’s oldest civil rights organization.

God save us from having our civil rights “protected” the way the NRA wants to protect them.

It’s so sad how the anti-gun extremists have misidentified the NRA as their ultimate boogieman of a scapegoat. Their lies and their hatred are both embarrassing and frightening.
May God bless the NRA.

You know what’s truly disgraceful? I just Googled “Stephen Williford”, the man who shot the Texas church murderer.
Then I clicked on “news.”
Not one mention from mainstream media about this hero!
Talk about a BIAS in reporting!

No bias.
You spelled his name wrong.
Try Googling “Stephen Willeford.” You’ll get about a zillion hits. Lots of mainstream news articles about Mr. Willeford.
Sorry to disappoint you, but there’s no bias here.
