I just rejoined the NRA

Is Google part of the conspiracy? Google up a list of presidents who were members of the NRA and you get the usual suspects, Grant, Taft, Teddy Roosevelt, Ike, Nixon and Reagan but strangely enough Google fails to include JFK who was a life member of the NRA. It's easy enough to google JFK NRA but typically of the left wing they think Americans won't notice fake news if they exclude a favorite democrat from the list.
 
How NRA’s true believers converted a marksmanship group into a mighty gun lobby

In gun lore it’s known as the Revolt at Cincinnati. On May 21, 1977, and into the morning of May 22, a rump caucus of gun rights radicals took over the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association.

The rebels wore orange-blaze hunting caps. They spoke on walkie-talkies as they worked the floor of the sweltering convention hall. They suspected that the NRA leaders had turned off the air-conditioning in hopes that the rabble-rousers would lose enthusiasm.

The Old Guard was caught by surprise. The NRA officers sat up front, on a dais, observing their demise. The organization, about a century old already, was thoroughly mainstream and bipartisan, focusing on hunting, conservation and marksmanship. It taught Boy Scouts how to shoot safely. But the world had changed, and everything was more political now. The rebels saw the NRA leaders as elites who lacked the heart and conviction to fight against gun-control legislation.

This is why I left the NRA.
 
YOU should’ve joined your local state Gun organization. The NRA is hyperpolitocal now .


On this, I agree. All the NTA is really good for is a cool commercial or two every few years and a speech at CPAC. I have to say though, Lapierre did a decent speech today.
 
the nra is a civil rights organization in the same way jack in the box is a fine dining experience

:thup:

Clearly any democratic republic is dependent upon an armed population.
In fact, it is the invention and low cost production of firearms that ended the monarchies in Europe and brought about all the democracies in the world.
 
Isn't it amazing....17 kids shot down in cold blood in Florida. What to do...what to do....Oh, I know....I'll join/send money to the NRA.

BRILLIANT!

Yes it was. Because help me out here. Is the Automobile Association of America responsible for DUI drivers? Why don’t we blame the immigrant defense project when an illegal immigrant commits a crime? Do we blame the Sports Car clubs when some dolt drives his Ferrari at Mach 1?

No. We put the blame for those actions squarely where it belongs. On the person who committed the wrong. On the individual. If you ran out and tried to blame the Girl Scouts for porn you would be dismissed as a nut. But blame a group who defends the rights outlined in the constitution and you are a hero.

This has happened before. When organizations went to the south to register blacks for the vote they were denounced and the organization’s were called evil by morons. History rightly denounced the idiots who fight to deny civil rights. Why should my civil rights be threatened? Why should I roll over?

You really are confused, del.

surprisingly, that doesn't have much sting coming from you.

the nra is a shill for the armaments industry- nothing more, nothing less

the less intelligent among us feel differently, but feelings aren't facts

maybe 50 years ago it was different, but not now


I am skeptical of the NRA, but what do you have against the arms industry?
All the bad guys already have arms, like the drug gangs, mafia, corrupt police, the military invading innocent countries, etc., so that how are honest people supposed to survive or defend themselves, with guns?
Its not like you can take away the guns from the bad guys, and even if you could, since they are stronger, in gangs, and more physically trained for violence, then honest people being armed the only possible solution.
So then clearly the arms makers are the good guys as well.
 
P.S. -- I found out NRATV is available on Roku if you have one...Mike Pence is speaking at CPAC right now.

Hitler also gave good speeches.



As did Obama. Remember when he said now that he was elected the level of the worlds ocians would go down? Sorry, but I see more bamma supporters acting as Hitler supporters did then Trumpkins .

Talk about BRILLIANT...

What about you liberals and your gun free Zones?

That's dumber than man made global warming.
 
I’m going to renew my NRA membership tonight…

As long as you have democrats in Office that have no problem

using the IRS, DOJ and the FBI as weapons to lie, cheat and steal

while faking dossiers with the Russians to undermined Democracy,

we will keep our guns thank you..…

It is brilliant. When liberals want to limit the rights of millions of Americans over the action of one individual...an individual who was reported to the FBI as a possible school shooter. A guy who had the police at his home 39 times.

Six million Americans legally own Ar15 type rifles. One guys actions does not justify this response. Just like if one Everclear drinking drunk driver killed 17 kids, that wouldn't justify outlawing 100+ proof whiskey. And just like outlawing 100+ proof whiskey would do nothing to stop drunk drivers, a new AWB will do absolutely nothing to stop school shootings...it will only accomplish a goal of the liberal left.
