I'm sure they exist, but they're the exception.

It makes sense. NRA is largely a front for the gun manufacturers... lastlib Mar 2012 #1
Exactly! The NRA is a front for the gun manufacturing industry Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #3
Actually, that is a different lobbying org- the NSSF X_Digger Mar 2012 #14

The NRA is a Republican organization, its CEO is a f GOP nutjob, Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #4
More democrats are showing support for gun ownership. Pacafishmate Mar 2012 #7
"gun nutjob activity" Major Nikon Mar 2012 #16
"...what is a 'gun nutjob activity' ?" 2ndAmForComputers Mar 2012 #18
hm, isn't gun ownership, like, a choice? iverglas Mar 2012 #19
There are exceptions to everything, which is why they're called exceptions, because it's not the Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #47
And the NRA is a right wing organization, gun-obsession is a right wing activity, and everything tha crowhill1974 Apr 2012 #171
The NRA is a right wing organization. Expect me NOT to be thrilled that you like it nt Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2012 #172
Your equivalence doesn't really work. EFerrari Mar 2012 #96
NRA speakers don't sprew misinformation, so stop saying that. safeinOhio Mar 2012 #11
Ooh such a fine, select group of... uh... nutjobs? nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #66
Interesting. Obama has done nothing to incur the wrath of the NRA or gun owners. NOTHING at all. freshwest Mar 2012 #5
It's nothing new that the NRA is directly affiliated with the GOP, and it's no surprise Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #6
I've always thought the NRA and GOP arthritisR_US Mar 2012 #8
I thought they were just about guns, not anything else. Going after Obama disproves that. freshwest Mar 2012 #12
They are about getting the far right into absolute power and nothing more. 2ndAmForComputers Mar 2012 #169
But it doesn't connect with their mission of protecting gun ownership. Unless... freshwest Mar 2012 #9
Edit: Going after Obama is a waste of time. Doesn't protect gun ownership. freshwest Mar 2012 #10
He won't let one million M-1s back into the country. GreenStormCloud Mar 2012 #15
Those effect sales and are often what law enforcement lobbies for, not confiscation. freshwest Mar 2012 #17
The M-1 is NOT an assault rifle. GreenStormCloud Mar 2012 #26
Yes. That is the smoking gun so to speak. mmonk Mar 2012 #154
It is, absolutely. To claim anything else is either massive denial, or deliberate mis-truth villager Mar 2012 #13
Yes! I've been confronted by folks in denial, claiming the NRA representing libs as well as Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #27
NRA: National Republicans' Auxiliary villager Mar 2012 #30
That's perfect! nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #50

I went there. What's CG and would you mind explaining this to those of us who aren't sure Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #41
did you mean GD? General Discussion, here? ;) iverglas Mar 2012 #46
Ah, ok. I'm with you there. Gun adoration should be confined, preferably to any forum that Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #48
Yet they support incumbent Democrats in elections hack89 Mar 2012 #21
Yes they do.. Upton Mar 2012 #23
they don't support Obama who is an incumbent Democrat up for election CreekDog Mar 2012 #28
Does anyone here honestly believe Obama is pro-RKBA? badtoworse Mar 2012 #31
evidence he's not? CreekDog Mar 2012 #34
His voting record in the Senate badtoworse Mar 2012 #93
Yes i do CreekDog Mar 2012 #92
Because Obama has a history of supporting gun control hack89 Mar 2012 #35
gun control is not against the RKBA CreekDog Mar 2012 #40
The AWB certainly was. nt hack89 Mar 2012 #51
are you a single issue voter? CreekDog Mar 2012 #73
Of course not. But I don't have to worry about gun control when I choose who to vote for. hack89 Mar 2012 #76
Lots of NRA supporters said the same thing. See my response, #36, which applies to this. nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #39
So as more Democrats support RKBA then the NRA will become hack89 Mar 2012 #52
As I said, an exception is not a rule. You're assuming that exceptions are the rule, the majority, Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #54
Well hopefully Democrats will get smart about gun control hack89 Mar 2012 #59
ROFLMAO! Oh yeah, right. nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #67
Being on the wrong side of history is not a good thing. hack89 Mar 2012 #72
Let's see here: You're against Democratic leaders? Against Obama? Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #74
I support him whole heartily. Since he is silent on the issue of gun control hack89 Mar 2012 #77
How do you stand on welfare? How about taxing the rich at a higher rate? nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #78
Support both. nt hack89 Mar 2012 #80
Ok. You're extremely confusing, you know. I think you realize that. nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #81
No, he's like most of us gungeon regulars. X_Digger Mar 2012 #86
Most of us meaning NRA members? nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #87
I meant what I said. 'most of us' = gungeon regulars. n/t X_Digger Mar 2012 #88
What's your story? What got you into guns? nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #89
Always had them. Always will. X_Digger Mar 2012 #90
Very cute kids. I know that in the past, guns were used for catching food. No longer. Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #99
I carry to protect myself in the unlikely, but potentially serious chance I may need it.. X_Digger Mar 2012 #102
Protect yourself from? nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #104
Potential violent attack. X_Digger Mar 2012 #107
That's different. You were like a police officer, going into all kinds of neighborhoods, and Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #109
On the other hand, if I ever had anyone enter my home with a weapon... Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #110
Err, I was a guy with a truck. X_Digger Mar 2012 #113
Fine, but you spent your life going in and out of places all day long, correct? nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #114
For the most part, yep. X_Digger Mar 2012 #115
You really can't accept the idea of a pro-gun Democrat, can you? hack89 Mar 2012 #94
A pro-gun Democrat is like an anti-abortion Democrat who thinks males should decide women's rights Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #98
Sure are a lot of exceptions.. Upton Mar 2012 #101
Thanks to the NRA and the promotion of gun ownership as benevolent. Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #103
Why is being pro-gun assumed to be an inherently conservative position? krispos42 Mar 2012 #106
Read the OP, for starters. Second, who is out there waving the flag of gun ownership? Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #111
I'm asking why it's inherently liberal or conservative krispos42 Mar 2012 #116
Oh. Hmmm... excellent question. Many reasons... Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #123
So then the goal of anti-gun liberals is that... krispos42 Mar 2012 #132
"Anti-gun liberals" Hmmmm! That phrase tells me something about you nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #136
You really need to get out of the city hack89 Mar 2012 #120
I live in the South and am very involved in organizations in which Dems are prevalent Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #126
So why have so many states with Democratic majorities hack89 Mar 2012 #134
Because the NRA is one of the most fucking lucrative lobbying organizations Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #135
But why are Democrats passing pro-gun laws? hack89 Mar 2012 #138
You mean why is the NRA now suddenly trying to lobby Democrats? Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #140
I am saying that Blue states have been passing pro-gun laws over the past 20 years. hack89 Mar 2012 #143
They don't. But the NRA is a lobbying organization, trying to lobby as many politicos as possible Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #144
So Democrats are caving to the NRA? hack89 Mar 2012 #145
Look up the term politicos. However, perhaps I need to repost my article Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #146
What about the past 20 years hack89 Mar 2012 #155
I keep hearing you saying, "BUT BUT BUT BUT.." Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #157
No - just pointing out that America is experiencing historically low levels of gun violence hack89 Mar 2012 #159
No, actually, it's you always and 24/7 defending gun-love. Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #160
No - you want to restrict my civil liberties hack89 Mar 2012 #161
No, actually, your gun love is restricting MY civil liberties, and you live misinterpreting the Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #162
The entire Supreme Court and the President disagree with you hack89 Mar 2012 #165

So there are no liberal justices? None at all? hack89 Mar 2012 #170

The deceptive re-defining of what the Second Amendment was for... Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #79
So the Bill of Rights is not a list of individual rights? hack89 Mar 2012 #95
These amendments were ratified in 1791, when there was NO MILITARY Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #97
So what was the intent of the BOR? hack89 Mar 2012 #118
Bullshit. And I'm trying to be as polite as I can be. Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #119
Read the preamble to the bill of rights.. the instruction manual, if you will.. X_Digger Mar 2012 #121
Let me repeat. Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #124
You're assuming your own premise.. circular reasoning. n/t X_Digger Mar 2012 #150
Circular reasoning is the canned response to anything you have no real response for Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #151
I wouldn't know.. X_Digger Mar 2012 #152
Good luck with that. hack89 Mar 2012 #122

I'm already disappointed. I blame you people for this country being dangerous nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #133
Ok - your fear is irrational but I do honestly feel sorry for you. hack89 Mar 2012 #137
As I said, I blame you gun lovers for the high gun-crime rate we suffer in the U.S. nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #139
