Hi Folks, the Endorsements subsection includes the following...
"In 2011, the organization declined an offer to discuss gun control with U.S. President Barack Obama. However, at the same time, LaPierre said that "the NRA has supported proposals to prevent gun sales to the mentally ill, strengthen a national system of background checks and spur states to provide needed data.""
I removed it once after trying to find a better place for it, but it seems like a POV "I told you so" kind of comment to me. Someone has returned it. What relevance does this have in this section?
It depends. "against gun violence" is often a euphamism for gun control. However, taken at face value, they have notable support for gun handling safety and training, safe storage, children's safety, and support for increased integration of mental health records in background checks. All of that would be covered under "gun violence". Gaijin42 (talk) 15:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
Could be. But do any sources directly say that the NRA is against gun violence? In re: the issues listed above, they seem to only support voluntary measures. Felsic2 (talk) 21:06, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
If you think that the answer to this question would require adding or removing some particular bit of text/category/etc it might be helpful to lay out the hypothetical change, to help better understand the kind of source/statement you are looking for. Gaijin42 (talk) 21:43, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
