The NRA is nothing but a front group for the Republican Party. Their policies are incomparable with the principles of the Democratic party. Too many people on DU & in the gungeon in particular claim to be Democrats, yet they go out of their way to promote the NRA's policies, and go out of their way to denigrate & deride Democrats who oppose the NRA and support reasonable gun control policies.

When popularly elected Democrats in majority-Democratic cities (like NYC, Chicago, Detroit, etc, etc.) and municipalities enact popular & reasonable gun restrictions, nobody on DU should be advocating for the opponents of these Democrats.

edit:
No surprise that the usual suspects are supporting this RW extremist shit.
