    Three National Rifle Association (NRA) board members reportedly resigned on Thursday amid recent turmoil at the organization......They added that they, as part of their duties on the 76-person board, tried to get information but were "rebuffed at every turn.”

    Only seventy three to go.

    This is a disparate matter from the NRA's various scandals, bur firearm acquisition in the US is not "severely restricted".

    The proliferation of firearms in the US parallels US preeminence in firearm fatalities.

    The U.S. has the most firearms per capita of any country in the world.

    "While our belief in the NRA’s mission remains as strong today as ever, our confidence in the NRA’s leadership has been shattered,"

    And the reason that the NRA (which advocates for the rights of law abiding citizens to defend themselves and is the global leader in gun safety training) is responsible for this is .....

    Mass shootings started in the 80's when society started drugging our children with ritalin and adults started to turn to anti-anxiety/anti-depressants to cure their problems.

    Mass shootings are a societal problem, not a gun problem.

    It's not easy to obtain a firearm in the U.S. unless you acquire it through illegal means.

    Exactly. There is a deeply disturbed individual not in any treatment program behind every one of these tragedies.

    Tell it to the people of the state of California, who cannot legally possess a firearm without first getting permission from government, which is under no legal obligation to grant that permission.

    In every advanced nation on earth, there are deeply disturbed individuals not in any treatment program who do not perpetrate firearm massacres because they do not have the permissive firearm laws of the US that make it the planet's firearm massacre leader by a wide margin.

    Fortunately, the political lobbyist that has facilitated that distinction is enfeebling itself, and the American people now have hope that quisling politicians will grow the cojones to honor the public will.

    Progress will be slow, but it will come.

    The firearm dependent may have withdrawal symptoms. Fake Don is fickle, and with LaP enfeebled, the American people may finally make progress against the firearm carnage.

    Advanced Nations like Japan and France?

    Japan

    In 2008, 25-year-old Tomohiro Kato rams a truck into a crowd of shoppers and proceeds to stab the run-down victims, killing six men and one woman and injuring 11 others. The perpetrator is on death row.

    In 2016, A former employee went on a stabbing spree at a facility for people with disabilities in Sagamihara, killing at least 19 people and injuring up to 50 others.

    In 2019 A man walked into Kyoto Animation's studio, sprayed an 'unidentified flammable liquid' around the building and onto people, before lighting it on fire killing 34 people.

    France

    In 2016, a man drove a box truck through a crowd of people killing 87 people and injuring 434.

    Are you talking about these types of "advanced nations"?

    None of these attacks would have been stopped by red flag laws.

    And the musket is a weapon of war.

    Try to keep up.
