It's a page from the playbook of the NRA and the unregulated gun industry. The more mass shootings occur — especially high-profile massacres — the more people buy guns.
Until President Obama’s executive orders in January, gun dealers in 33 states and at thousands of gun shows have been allowed to sell guns to anyone without a background check. It’s no wonder there’s a gun violence epidemic in America.
We’ve finally reached a critical mass of gun violence such that almost every day there’s another mass shooting.
In 2015, there were 330 mass shootings of four or more people, and to date in 2016, there have been almost as many mass shootings as days of the year.

The Daily News staffers are cowards who don’t allow comments, so I don’t waste my time on them.
When the Daily Beast took away comments, that was the last day I went to their website.
Any on-line “news outlet” that does not have a comments section is admitting they can’t argue their points, and they are just a one-way propaganda outlet. I won’t give them a click.
Actually gun violence is down statistically so lets not let facts inform us.
Well, at least they didn’t accuse the NRA of instigating mass shootings, surprisingly....
“It’s a page from the playbook of the NRA and the unregulated gun industry.”
When your lead sentence is a blatant lie, I have a hard time even finishing your tale of woe.
"Unregulated" gun industry? LOL
Obama talking about gun control sell more guns AND ammo than anything. Curious if since gun sales are up, if theft from private residences is also up.
Is the NRA forcing anyone to buy guns? No the People feel a need to Protect themselves because Police can not be everywhere and all the time.
Only a fool would let themselves be unarmed in today’s America when any MS-13 and or Terrorist can just walk across our Borders and ICE is threatened by a President to not apprehend them.
Is it any wonder TRUMP?!?! Hell NO!!!
daily news ........Bird cage bottom material.
“Until President Obama’s executive orders in January, gun dealers in 33 states and at thousands of gun shows have been allowed to sell guns to anyone without a background check.”
And how many mass shootings resulted from guns being sold at gun shows being allowed to sell guns to anyone without a background check? I bet not ‘cause the media would be all over that 24/7. So that EO has done exactly nothing but restrict gun ownership......and that was the intent all along by the way...........on the other hand, fast and furious however.....
When stuff like that is posted in a cowardly libtard “no comments allowed” online “news outlet,” it’s just click bait, and I won’t play.
What accounts for the rash of suicides in America?
Hmmm. I usually buy mine in anger.
How about the suicide rate in Japan, which eclipses ours & is accomplished 99% of the time without the use of a gun?
Greater gun sales is not even IN the NRA’s “playbook”. Their whole deal is RESPONSIBLE gun ownership, which includes the care, feeding, and grooming of guns, and training of practiced and judicious persons in possession of firearms of lethal nature.
Buying a gun without having practical knowledge of its use and proper times to take the device up is a recipe for disaster, as it happens on street corners and back alleys every day in cities that pride themselves on having the “most strict” collections of laws governing the possession and use of handguns within their city limits. Guns purchased, taken, or stolen for the sole purpose of intimidating others in the commission of a crime of violence are not, in and of themselves, necessarily inherently evil, but the persons who commit these crimes are very much evil, and should be treated as such to the fullest extent of the law each and every time they are arrested in conjunction with such a misuse of a firearm.
unregulated gun industry—I stopped reading right there. Figured it was a crap piece. The fire arms industry is one of the most(if not the most)regulated industries.
There are so many falsehoods in the excerpt alone that I will not go there.
They do not allow comments, because they know their lies will be exposed.
It’s getting harder for the left to argue that the NRA is scarier than ISIS. After accusing gun sellers of fear mongering, they start fear mongering.
If not getting enough attention, change the meaning of “Mass Shooting” to mean 4 or more people at least nicked by a bullet instead of just being killed.
Mass shootings ?? BS
Nope, its due to the increased racial tensions brought on by that POS 0bama and his peoples . ..
