but they don't listen to them.

If they did, they would support background checks.

You're killing the messenger, but that's how it goes sometimes. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #1

What would you have said? CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2013 #2

If you hate the NRA, tell them directly! Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #23

Are you sure about that? The "telemarketer" may well be a paid volunteer of the NRA who is willing madinmaryland Jul 2013 #26

Scream at them, just in case... Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #48

Where did I say be rude to them. There is nothing wrong with telling the paid shills calling from madinmaryland Jul 2013 #51

Read the OP. If you think that kind of behavior is acceptable, we strongly agree. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #52

I'm confused. I thought you were condemning that behavior and now you agree with it? madinmaryland Jul 2013 #53

yeah. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #54

Enough with the assumption that I "Killed the Messenger"! DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #9

"I never once attacked or insulted the caller." Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #16

Maybe he meant, "never once" = more than once. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #43

Oh, good point! Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #44

.. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #24

Maybe it's time that "messenger" got another job working for someone else. rdharma Jul 2013 #28

YOU get to decide that? Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #50

Yes! I get to tell the "paid messenger" my opinion. rdharma Jul 2013 #55

That was not what you said. At all. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #57

Oh? That's EXACTLY what I said! rdharma Jul 2013 #59

You have now been introduced to that poster. CokeMachine Jul 2013 #61

Met this one before elsewhere. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #62

You know then!! CokeMachine Jul 2013 #69

Bwahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhaha. 99Forever Jul 2013 #64

Some hourly temp working for a telemarketer. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #68

Wow, you screamed at a minimum wage telemarketer, how courageous of you DonP Jul 2013 #3

A bit presumptuous to suggest that I screamed at anyone. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #5

You didn't answer any questions - your words went nowhere DonP Jul 2013 #20

"Pass along feedback" rdharma Jul 2013 #30

"I ended the conversation by telling the caller to F**k off" ZombieHorde Jul 2013 #37

Maybe the "minimum wage telemarketer" is more of a paid volunteer of the NRA. madinmaryland Jul 2013 #29

If you are opposed to the NRA as you Jenoch Jul 2013 #4

You are assuming things, you know what happens when you assume something! DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #7

I didn't assume anything. Jenoch Jul 2013 #10

Excuse me, I told the person, The NRA could F off. My mistake in typing. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #12

I still think if you would have answered the poll Jenoch Jul 2013 #13

Actually, had I had the time available to answer the poll questions I may have done that. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #15

I believe what you said the first time. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #46

Maybe you could edit the post to make that clear? CokeMachine Jul 2013 #60

Well, that and AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #14

That's rude? What's rude is telling the families of 20 children and 6 teachers... DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #17

See. I knew that there was an exception in Florida or the area of Florida where you are. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #21

So you kept pro-gun-control answers out of their poll? That will help Recursion Jul 2013 #6

A Google search shows that the NRA polls its own members. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #8

I am not an NRA member, I have never owned nor wanted to own a firearm. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #11

Did your answers have anything to do with the question? MrSlayer Jul 2013 #18

Do you think the NRA would actually pay any attention to responses truebluegreen Jul 2013 #31

Then why bother conducting a poll at all? MrSlayer Jul 2013 #47

Thank you HockeyMom Jul 2013 #19

The NRA seems to poll its own members. If you want to give your opinion contrary to your spouse, AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #22

Interesting point HockeyMom Jul 2013 #27

They may poll their own members truebluegreen Jul 2013 #34

Don't they support background checks as much as the ACLU? AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #35

I don't know the figures for the ACLU truebluegreen Jul 2013 #39

It's easy to understand the figures for the ACLU. The ACLU is against that. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #41

??? truebluegreen Jul 2013 #42

Yes, the ACLU is in favor of civil liberties and privacy. Imagine that. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #45

I am totally shocked by it, truebluegreen Jul 2013 #63

ACLU AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #65

Glad to hear it. truebluegreen Jul 2013 #66

I don't know... Xyzse Jul 2013 #25

Like Ted Nugent! nt rdharma Jul 2013 #32

That's funny! Do you have a link to that? Sounds like a Ted Nugent wannabe!! madinmaryland Jul 2013 #33

Research is still in progress in Snopes Xyzse Jul 2013 #36

Oh! It's true alright! rdharma Jul 2013 #56

Or that he was a Democrat who caused George H. W. Bush to resign his NRA life membership when AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #38

Not really sure Xyzse Jul 2013 #67

"Hey I got a poll right here." lpbk2713 Jul 2013 #40

A proud moment for you for sure. aikoaiko Jul 2013 #49

The OP should be thanked for giving this NRA "sock puppet" a dose of reality and truth! rdharma Jul 2013 #58
