1) The Holocaust happened because Jews were unable to obtain guns due to Poland's notoriously strict gun laws.
2) The left wants an absolute gun ban - no guns at all, any type, for anyone, ever.
3) The right wants mass shootings, especially school shootings.
4) Everyone agrees we need to require better background checks and use more discretion in handing out gun licenses.
4.a The right cannot pass such legislation because it is a slippery slope to banning all guns, everywhere, for everyone.
4.b The left cannot pass such legislation because it is not enough.
5)  Every school in the US should have metal detectors at the entrance, be surrounded by a 30' cement wall and have armed guards in every classroom and hallway. The more guns around kids the better.

Now the facts we agree on.

1 - AR you use two hands and a handgun you use one.
Now are there any home defense situations you need a free hand?
Opening a door
Turning on a light
Calling the police
Helping or carrying your child to safety
The list goes on but you get the idea

2 - AR has a higher penetration than most handguns.
Collateral damage is higher with an AR.

3 - Easier to grab the barrel of an AR than a handgun.
You have to navigate a home where the barrel is going to sickout like a sore thumb.

The list goes on and on that prove a handgun is a better choice for home defense.

2) The FBIs testing disagrees with this claim.
3) If this is the case, why are they the go to gun for police when entering a home?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Labor unions outspend the NRA somewhere in the range on 40:1
Unions have forced membership, i.e. of you get hired by a company that had a unionized workforce you're, usually, forced to give money to the union, even if you disagree with them (http://www.nrtw.org/required-join-pay-private/).

Every single NRA member is a person who joined voluntarily and presumably desires their lobbying.

yes i did. Why?

Note that the statement there is contradictory to the one here
[tweet]966664545908461569[/tweet]

"Did not provide or script questions...nor have we ever"
Are you familiar with RCP? They post videos from news stations verbatim all the time. They are not writing a journalistic article here.
There is no contradiction at all - feel free to attempt to create one.

Regarding RCP - first of all, it's not verbatim at all. And second of all, it doesn't lessen the journalistic burden on either the news stations they base the pieces off of, nor RCP themselves.

Not all unions including one of the largest.

Its days now and you still have not backed up your idiotic claim that guns have saved more lives. We are waiting!!!
Stop adding even more posts that need to addressed and I'll be able to get to it.

OK what does that have to with anything? They are upset he is taking money from the NRA.
If the NRA can pay off politicians, why can't labor unions just pay them all off, if they spend so much more? The answer is that they do not pay off politicians, their power is not in money (unlike the labor unions) their power is in the number of people who agree with them, and vote with them, and donate with them. It's not the NRA it's the people.
Unions have forced membership, i.e. of you get hired by a company that had a unionized workforce you're, usually, forced to give money to the union, even if you disagree with them (http://www.nrtw.org/required-join-pay-private/).

Every single NRA member is a person who joined voluntarily and presumably desires their lobbying.
There are also many who are not members, and do not own guns, but they agree with the NRA

The problem is they are implying (or straight out saying) that his positions are influenced by the NRA's donations.

2 - FBI disagrees with what claim?
3 - You watch to much TV.
2) According to the FBI testing, an AR15 bullet is less deadly after passing thru a wall, than a handgun bullet is after passing thru a wall
3) Not true, but it's irrelevant. Most cops don't walk around with AR15s and keep handguns in their car in case they need to sweep a home, it goes the other way (they don't always go get long guns, but they never go switch their long guns out for handguns)

You don't understand guns or the data that is used. Do you understand a bullet has zero chance of going through 5 walls (ten pieces of drywall) without hitting something else. Your buddy posts something and you run with it. Do you live in a house that is completely empty? Are there things like solid doors, 2x4's, 2x8's, 2x10's, bookcases, furniture, appliances, plastic and steel pipes, metal sinks, closets and 100 other things that a bullet can hit?

The points you are trying to make are laughable.
Do you own a gun?
Have you ever shot a gun?
You ever have to use a gun to save your life?
Have you ever been shot?
Have you ever had home defense training?
