The implication of my quoted statement? It was a quote made last night by Sanders. Not clear on how talking about reform to address an issue is "propagating war". The instances of officers using lethal force has been rising. While there are many factors, it needs to be addressed.

Violence against cops is also rising. Do you know how many cops were killed in the line of duty last year? How about so far this year? Celebrating violence is part of the problem. Lack of personal responsibility, and deterrence to commit crimes are also issues.

Now we are getting somewhere! Because I know certain lobby groups (that will remain unnamed) promote violence to sell more weapons that are more powerful than most police forces are equipped with. Curious to hear your thoughts on that.

Right off the top of my head... THIS call-to-arms is a good example https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/national/nra-ad-the-violence-of-lies/2017/06/30/295dde84-5d93-11e7-aa69-3964a7d55207_video.html?utm_term=.d2ef8271c301 …

The video creates a false reality in an effort to sell guns. It isn't that the NRA is committing these acts of violence, or even its members. However, it is the lobbying of the group that results in more gun violence. One study I found fascinating:https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMc1712773 …

Funny how this went from a discussion about cops needing reform to targeting the NRA. Your bias is clearing showing.

Yes because it's all intertwined. This isn't some simple issue with one cause & one answer. You know that. I know that. The guy with a twitter handle ExposingLibsBS knows it. We have a multi-faceted gun problem in this country. Denying that/saying they aren't related is ludicrous

No. We have a personal responsibility problem. Guns aren't the issue.

I'm sorry, but this is where the conversation ends for me. We clearly will not see eye to eye on this issue and I wish you well.
