Sen. Marsden calls for gun lobby to stop obstructing gun legislation

[SecularMotion]

In a speech on the Virginia Senate floor Monday, Senator Dave Marsden called for the gun lobby to stop obstructing progress on gun legislation that would save lives.

“I believe the gun lobby’s obstruction of common sense legislation is getting people killed. It is time for the gun lobby to join us in helping pass common sense legislation that will save lives” said Senator Dave Marsden.

In an effort to kick start a conversation Senator Marsden hung a banner in front of his General Assembly office which shared that sentiment:

‘Welcome gun lobby day members. I know you mean well. But, if it isn’t too much trouble, please stop trying to save our lives… Too many people are getting killed in the effort.
Senator Dave Marsden’

1. I'm not familiar with Sen. Marsden

but I like where he's coming from!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

2. What exactly is Sen Marsden proposing? The article does not say.

[LonePirate]

3. I applaud any lawmaker willing to stand up to the terrorists known as the NRA

[Nuclear Unicorn]

7. There's a form of government that asserts itself by silencing dissent and labeling dissent terrorism

It is the opposite of Democratic.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

11. I had a quote written down about that

Where could it be?

[Duckhunter935]

9. and how do they fit the definition

Of a terrorist group? Say something you are opposed to?

[Duckhunter935]

4. so what common sense

Regulation is he proposing?

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

5. :facepalm:

I haven't seen any useful gun legislation recently and I thought obstructing useless gun legislation was kind of their job.

Isn't this more of an indictment of the pro-control think tanks that don't seem to be able to articulate any useful gun legislation? I mean asking the folks you call 'the terrorists' to ease up?? Really???

6. Yeah, except we can't have a discussion about what "common sense gun legislation" is

Neither side will believe the other when flaws are pointed out, for example. Hell, the Party won't even consider debating changing the platform on guns, and to the people in GD and GD: P the DNC's position on gun control goes unchallenged.

That's because, of course, no true liberal would challenge the plank because it's common sense. Only trolls with NRA talking points would. Ergo, dissension is not patriotic, it's troll action.

8. Dissension is not patriotic,

You are either with us or against us

Hmm, where have I heard that before...

[DonP]

10. Wow! THE Senator Marsden?

So, now the key question.

How much are you and all your gun control buddies donating to his campaign fund to support his courageous gun control efforts?

The usual amount? $0.00 for each gun control supporter?

An annual NRA membership is about $35 I think, so everyone that belongs to the gun control group or claims to support more "common sense" gun control politically should write a check for at least that amount to this hero today, right?

[Eleanors38]

12. Heh-heh.

[DonP]

13. I'm gonna guess they all "left their wallet in the car today" ...

... and their wife/husband took the car this morning.

But tomorrow morning they'll all write this brave person a check to show their rock solid support.

And monkeys will fly ... etc.

15. NRA is offering life memberships

for $500 and Easy Pay Life memberships for $500 through the end of February 2016. It's a good deal, especially for people who don't like supporting the NRA's political arm. Now, citing the fact NRA-PVF supports Democrats who support gun rights, I don't see the issue with donating to any NRA organization.

[beevul]

14. What 'gun legislation' and why? N/T
