Although the NRA had not a thing to do with the horrible shooting of school children in Florida, a number of corporations have withdrawn their association with the NRA, no longer offering their discounts to NRA members.
As is so often the case with Liberal-associated decisions, there is no association with realty in these decisions.
In it, we see the usual collectivist actions of the Left.
The Left has boycotts, walk-outs, marches, organized riots, etc….while we on the Right are more individualistic, and so appear smaller in number. The Left has the sort of noise machine that the Right can’t match.
But the NRA sent out a letter that represents Americanism, that Leftists eschew.
This:
"FAIRFAX, VA – The more than five million law-abiding members of the National Rifle Association have enjoyed discounts and cost-saving programs from many American corporations that have partnered with the NRA to expand member benefits.
Since the tragedy in Parkland, Florida, a number of companies have decided to sever their relationshipwith the NRA, in an effort to punish our members who are doctors, farmers, law enforcement officers, fire fighters, nurses, shop owners and school teachers that live in every American community. We are men and women who represent every American ethnic group, every one of the world’s religions and every form of political commitment.
The law-abiding members of the NRA had nothing at all to do with the failure of that school’s security preparedness, the failure of America’s mental health system, the failure of the National Instant Check System or the cruel failures of both federal and local law enforcement.
Despite that, some corporations have decided to punish NRA membership in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice. In time, these brands will be replaced by others who recognize that patriotism and determined commitment to Constitutional freedoms are characteristics of a marketplace they very much want to serve.
Let it be absolutely clear. The loss of a discount will neither scare nor distract one single NRA member from our mission to stand and defend the individual freedoms that have always made America the greatest nation in the world."
That's a great big 'Amen'!
i can't stop people from being in a mob of stupid. their choice, their call. i know they THINK they're doing the right thing but this problem we have with guns is NOT going to be fixed emotionally and it's NOT going to be fixed by making stupid demands under the guise of "common sense". we got a long way to go and one side pushing on the other is only going to be met with resistance.
what i can do however is support the NRA. when i got into my gun kick as obama was going for the guns he said he was never going for *giggle uh huh* i joined the NRA cause it seemed like a package deal. get guns, get membership, buy bullets and e-ha imma cowboy.
over the course of the year i seldom shot many of the guns i bought but i'd buy a few more. shot my AR15 a few times but even then it was too big a pain to have to clean every time and i wasn't into it enough to want to do that. sell AR buy AK carry on. but i kept getting more and more GIVE US MONEY mail from the NRA. when it expired they went into overdrive on GIVE US MONEY but i never did and that stopped after 2-3 times to be honest so it wasn't too bad.
now i'm back to supporting the NRA just because the left is being butt-nugget stupid and redefining stupidity with again saying WE MUST HAVE WHAT WE WANT WAH and joined up for another year. i don't carry my card, i don't ask for the discounts, it's simply a **** YOU to the protesting left. they protest more, i simply pay the people they're protesting and sit back and watch.
TRIVIA TIME!!!!!
name one mass shooter that was a member of the NRA.
not a god damn one.
How Many Mass Shooters Have Been Members Of The NRA? – InvestmentWatch
yet they are held responsible because the left, as usual, needs someone to blame. we must get angry at someone/something and make them change their ways not because it needs to be done but because it will make them feel better about effecting change in the world.
END TRIVIA TIME THANK YOU FOR PLAYING.
the left is now upset with donald because he said he may take guns from the psychotic. HAHAHAHAHA they laugh DO YOU LIKE TRUMP NOW???
the question is, does the left like him now? they've been after doing this for 8 years under obama and while trump said we can give them due process "in time" (and yes there must be a system of due process in this or i'll be dead set against it.) due process is who we are and should never be a bargaining chip. period. but the left is the one who said "due process is killing us".
Pro-gun control senator: 'Due process is killing us right now'
so trump says: take guns from the psychotic and include due process. as long as that due process is in a reasonable timeframe i don't have much of an issue. he's doing SOMETHING and obama never did.
except ***** and make green tipped ammo illegal and .22 rounds "unicorn tears". yay. that helped huh?
so let the left have their whiney shit fit. they're going to anyway and the topic seldom matters. in looking NRA membership is going nuts and when i see comments on these types of articles i see a LOT of people like me renewing their membership, some new, some going lifetime. this alone gives me hope the silent majority is quietly saying "**** off" to the left.
keep it up and they will alienate even more in the coming years and fade away to a joke our kids made out the last 5+ years and in 45 years when something like this happens for a 2nd time in their lifetime (ie, this reminds me a lot of the late 60s early 70s) they will look to this time as a reference point of failure and a sad commentary on our society.
til then, **** 'em. when they want to work together they can quit making demands and talk it out. i'll be waiting off to the side reading AMERICAN HUNTER and oiling my left handed .308 savage with a new wooden stock from buds stocks and eating venison chili laughing at 'em.
