(17,505 posts)When I was a kid, the NRA was a nerdy "Leave it to Beaver" organization that advocated gun safety and knowing and following gun laws.
They indeed are not that now. They are shills for the RW and a huge $$$$ making industry.... misinterpreting the Constitution and its amendments and fueling paranoia with RW taking points about how government can do nothing for you or is coming to get you...blah blah blah.
But we don't need to ban posts in favor of the NRA. If you don't like a post, comment as such, or ignore it, or put the poster on ignore...whatever... and let us deal with the post in our way. We don't need you looking after us. I simply am not so sensitive. I'll be fine even if someone comes in here and is all gung-ho about the NRA and guns. I'll be fine, thank you.
