Images of the Antis: “Corporate Gun Lobby”

This one is really rich!

This is a common trope of the anti-freedom zealots. The NRA doesn’t care about it’s members, all it cares about is the gun corporations. (Obviously bullshit, because things like “Universal Background Checks” only HELPS the gun corporations, and what do gun makers care if the magazine they’re making holds 10 or 30 rounds? Especially when many limited magazines cost as much as their full-size brothers) And because they want the gun companies to make money over all other things, they WANT to sell guns to “Lone Wolf Killers”.

Well except the big-news spree killers are bad for business. When there is fresh blood, there are anti-gunners dancing in it and calling for new laws. These laws often threaten the gun industry directly. The NRA needs to spend money to fight these bills and help get the word out to the base. Now generally gun sales go up, but it’s not because of the killer, but because of the antis talking about taking away. See also the gun rush coinciding with both of President Obama’s election victories. There was no killer, just a man in power who hates guns and gun owners.

And what about the killers? They aren’t avid gun collectors, or even have a particularly elaborate gun kit. In Sandy Hook, the guns were stolen. This is a trivial amount of money.

Really even if you wanted to attempt to extrapolate this image to some logical answer, is that by disarming the “Lone Wolves” you disarm countless “good guys”….which is really the whole point.

    Remember! They just want background checks!

    That’s why they’re reviling the very people who under federal law have to give a background check for *every* single gun they sell!
