| 1641155450430431233 | @npenzenstadler This point creates an interesting comparison to alcohol though. You aren't supposed to argue "fun" is a legitimate reason to protect gun rights, because obviously having fun isn't as valuable as protecting lives. But alcohol-related causes literally kill over twice as many… https://t.co/ScMhx1TiLK | 17 |
| 1638535120293597184 | https://t.co/sNysvCqkyH is a finalist for a @NIHCMfoundation award for excellence in health care reporting. So proud of our team for identifying key factors affecting care for millions of nursing home residents. @LetitiaStein @JeffKLO @npenzenstadler @amy_pyle @stevesuo https://t.co/jr9i7rHftv | 9 |
| 1641154098455277568 | @npenzenstadler I think it's a bit unfair to zero in on that when I say home defense in the same sentence. The point stands. PCCs use handgun rounds, and are often used for home defense, and yes, for sporting purposes. Are sporting purposes illegitimate now? | 6 |
| 1640699916233195521 | @npenzenstadler @emilygbrown Another horrific story. This explains how @USATODAY covers mass shootings and the reasons behind our standards. https://t.co/HS5SotSkwL | 4 |
| 1638622369014255616 | Congrats and thanks to team nursing home @USATODAY. Humbled to be in the company of the health journalism recognized by @NIHCMfoundation w/ @JaymeKFraser @npenzenstadler @JeffKLO @amy_pyle https://t.co/eltQSKqJVy | 3 |
| 1641172276925087745 | @MorosKostas @npenzenstadler Especially considering how federal law states that "sporting purposes" is the only reason why guns can be imported | 3 |
| 1641439975840571395 | This story, as so many others in this space, is relevant again and will sadly be relevant again and again in coming months. By the great @npenzenstadler. After Sandy Hook, the NRA launched a school security program. A review of its (minimal) impact. https://t.co/aLHR1PutjO | 2 |
| 1641321622329249792 | @2Aupdates @MorosKostas @npenzenstadler https://t.co/OPdxQlXOCn "Between 1778 and 1782 the French provided supplies, arms and ammunition, uniforms, and, most importantly, troops and naval support to the beleaguered Continental Army." Is 'hunting Red Coats' (aka the Legitimate British Government) a "sporting purpose"? | 1 |
| 1641176897718476825 | @npenzenstadler @2Aupdates @MorosKostas Or is this about all of the solvent traps and Glock switches? | 0 |
| 1641176684517834761 | @npenzenstadler @2Aupdates @MorosKostas So what’s your angle? Are you one of those journos that is going to say “wow look at all the scary assault pistols / rifles coming from the EU to the US” to try to drum up support for import restrictions? | 0 |

| 1641151187604082688 | @npenzenstadler Why not? You don’t think shooting for fun is a respectable purpose? | 45 |

| 1641155353848201216 | @npenzenstadler Well, that’s not exactly the context of the original tweet. But I think that highlights one disconnect in the gun debate. For thousands of us our first association with guns is going out with our family into the woods or to the range and shooting for fun. @MorosKostas | 23 |
| 1641159380992180228 | @npenzenstadler Do you not find value in gun owners regularly using their firearms, reinforcing safe practices & becoming more familiarized with a gun they may have to use in public for self defense? Are you against all manner of training? We call it plinking, you may call it something else. | 21 |
| 1641159804755525632 | @ravracc @npenzenstadler I've spoken with @npenzenstadler before prior to one of his articles, and I didn't think it came out all that unfair. Yes, he isn't a gun rights activist, obviously, but I don't think he's a hack either. At least not in my experience with him. | 18 |
| 1641155501277999104 | @npenzenstadler Do you or do you not want responsible gun owners being a responsible gun owner entails plenty of plinking which is what we call recreational target practice | 12 |
| 1641185670730330114 | @npenzenstadler "Plinking" is training, but with the fun element of shooting at some kind of physical target like a tin can. This is more fun than shooting at paper targets, and directly increases participation in firearms training. Do you want MORE firearms training or LESS? | 11 |
