5. sick minded words from nra

Hitting a new low in its bullying barrage against gun laws, the National Rifle Association targeted Gabrielle Giffords in an attack mocking her 2011 shooting.

“Gabby Giffords: Everyone Should Have to Pass Background Check My Attacker Passed,” the NRA tweeted from its main account.

NRA uses specious sophistry, that since a background check didn't stop gabby's shooter, that BG checks are useless and unnecessary. I'm sure Gabby Gifford's group ARS is well aware how her shooter got his gun, but are also well aware that BG checks can only ever be partially effective in preventing violent crime & gun murder. BG checks will not prevent all gun murders but will help towards prevention and are a positive step in blunting gun crime.

The high minded bigots at NRA mislead that BG checks are worthless, using sick minded words. Profit minded nra bigots are the underlying reason.
The true hypocrisy isn't from Gabby, but from the NRA.
