Who Supports the NRA?

Antigun leftists demonstrate their cowardice when they see the gun violence occurring in the country, the vast majority of them occurring in democrat controlled cities across the country, see the dire living conditions, poverty, and hopelessness in those communities and the violence that invariably accompanies it, and rather than address the actual problems in those communities instead only focus on types of guns that have virtually nothing to do with the problem, law abiding citizens that are absolutely not part of the problem, and an organization dedicated to keeping braindead leftist rat politicians from attacking the Constitutional rights of American citizens...an organization that has absolutely nothing to do with the violent crime problem in the country.

Fact is...the only reason leftists hate the NRA so much is because the NRA stands firmly against the leftists and their anti gun crusades. Its also a fact that in demonstrating their hatred of the NRA, those same antigun leftists very clearly demonstrate they dont give the first **** about the victims of those violent crimes and the actual problems that lead to high gun crimes, high property crimes, and high rates of sexual assault in those communities.

Leftists:lamo
 
I agree...idiot leftists ARE a joke. So are your anti-gun tirades.

No argument says, "Here comes stupid" more than one citing the word "leftists" several times in just two paragraphs.
 
Shannon shows us.



It does beg the question. What the hell is it with old white dudes and their obsession with guns?

Look, I get having a piece for protection, especially for women who are easily out-muscled. But, we don't see a hundred women in that line shown in the clip above. Do we? No. We see dudes, old dudes; white old dudes to be exact.

What gives?

Actually.. the facts are that women owning and shooting guns has increased dramatically.

Young people and middle aged adults who are owning guns for the first time have gone up.

Now.. as far as the protests? Well.. Perhaps Shannon should consider a few things.

Like retired folks.. are more likely to show up to protest as they don't have to work.

Secondly.. gun control has been historically and is currently an instrument of racism. Its not a coincidence that areas.. that have the highest gun control laws.. also have higher minority populations.

Perhaps Shannon things when Bloomberg was pushing "stop and frisk"...he wanted the cops to stop and frisk his rich white older buddies.. for weapons?


Maybe Shannon should do some research on places with gun control..like NY.. that require background checks, gun classes and gun permits to own a handgun..

What do you think she would find if she compared a BLACK applicant applying for a firearm.. with a WHITE applicant with the same background.

Do you really think that she would find that the black applicant was just as likely to get a permit?

What do you think would happen to a young black male in the picture she showed.. who was openly carrying a firearm... vs an OLD WHITE GUY?

Who do you think would be more likely to get negative attention from the police? hmmmm

No argument says "here come stupid" more than any thread you post on this site, accompanied by your ridiculous hate filled diatribes.

Hey! Look, over there. Leftists! :eek:
 
It's not a 'blatant lie' to say that gun owners freak the **** out when someone even suggests banning military grade weapons of war. What's next, rocket launchers, Long-range artillery and hyper-sonic missiles? There has to be a line drawn between defensive civilian weaponry and military grade weapons.

But you people are not talking about banning military grade weapons of war. You are talking about banning semiautomatic rifles,handguns and shotguns under the guise of an assault weapons ban. Again ban on those semiautomatic firearms means taking them away. Also calling or referring to semiautomatic firearms as military grade weapons of war is another lie you told. These semiautomatic rifles, shotguns and handguns are firearms made for the civilian market.Not the military market Just because a firearm looks like something the military uses doesn't make it a military grade weapon.
 
That's like saying I am going to make it illegal to publish a book but you can publish a newspaper; your free speech is intact. It isn't and you know it isn't.

For a more hoisted on your own petard take on things, rural Virginia counties and towns are enacting 2nd Amendment sanctuary statutes. Should be an interesting legal fight, I am really unsure how it will turn out.

Or its like saying if we make elective abortion illegal then your right to abortion hasn't been taken away as long as you can still get an abortion in the event of a medical emergency. Or your right to freedom of religion hasn't been infringed on as long as we just don't ban all religions.
 
I find it funny that they are trying to ban a specific type of gun and have failed to show that doing so would be to the benefit of society. Will it save lives, will there be less murders once the ban is in effect? They know the answer is NO but yet they will ban it anyways. So whats the purpose of the ban then?

Baby steps or incrimination towards a total ban or turning gun owner into a privilege only for the elite. After all you look at all the gun control we have on the books in various states and the federal level. They didn't just stop with the first gun control law they enacted and stopped there.They didn't stop with excessive taxes on machine guns, bans on civilian ownership of machine guns made after 1986, bans on certain classes of people from owning firearms, background checks, licenses/permitss(in some states), bans on certain semiautomatic firearms and many other anti-2nd amendment laws and they are still coming up with more anti-2nd amendment laws.

I am sure some leftists will try to use some map that compare homicide rates instead of actual numbers of homicides to make it seem as though Chicago or New York is somehow safer than Anchorage Alaska.

Let me start with I'm a senior citizen and a gun owner. I have owned guns since I was 14 years old. Now that is out of the way. Tell us how many mass shootings have been committed by people over 50? How many mass shootings have occurred at NRA meetings or conventions? A possible reason you see mostly older guys is because the photographer wanted to give the impression these were the main attendants. The NRA supports gun safety, gun ownership, and the 2nd amendment. So naturally they are going to oppose any law that infringes on those rights. If you want to worry about gun ownership, I suggest you concentrate on inner city guns that is where the real gun problems are.

What "military grade weapons of war" are you talking about?
 
Making them "illegal to own" means "taking them away" to anyone who obeys the law. Are you saying they're going to pass the law, and then not enforce it?

Northram has already requested, and gotten, an additional 250K as what will be needed to jail those not voluntarly willing to give up their guns.

The people I've seen who given interviews about their gun collections tend to be white middle aged males.


It has to be some nationalistic/compensatory mental issue.
 
I support the NRA, although I do like the GOA better.
 
That's your failing


Are you a paying member ?

How's that a fail-sure beats belonging to the groups that want to piss all over the second amendment

Wait! IS it - just possible that this entire impeachment case was set up by the NRA as a diversion from their house being a'fire?

Basically a lie.

Not that I would expect the NRA to support concentrating on inner city guns legislatively, the reality is that our pesky constitution that contains the second amendment also has that stupid equal protections clause the prevents us from being that selective.

As for gun control, won't work so why bother.

As for the NRA, it is just another PAC.

So is supporting the NRA = being a paying member or like rooting for the Dallas Cowboys when they play on TV ?
