I cant believe it. beevul Aug 2013 #5

No one here has shown evidence of one, to my knowledge. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #6

Nearly 12 hours later, and still no... beevul Aug 2013 #7

We'll just have to ask the next person that mentions "NRA talking points"... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #8

Good advice, and you billh58 Aug 2013 #45

I'd say the first link qualifies, the rest are a tossup friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #47

Help me out here... beevul Aug 2013 #49

I think the NRA is a bit more confident about messaging. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #63

For what it's worth, I share your low opinion of the NRA. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #62

Or possibly because the majority of DUers have decided to stop feeding the gun trolls polluting GD? Electric Monk Aug 2013 #15

The OP even said it wasn't meant to be taken seriously derby378 Aug 2013 #18

Now, be kind- that lot tend to get a little frustrated and cranky when someone is progun... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #22

Would that statement also embrace the anti-gun trolls polluting GD? friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #21

If we were on ar-15.com then gun control advocates would be the trolls. We aren't. We're on DU. nt Electric Monk Aug 2013 #25

And many Democrats and some DUers feel differently than you do friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #27

Even your choice of words shows you're not really interested in debate. Electric Monk Aug 2013 #28

I'm all in favor of sensible gun laws. That's only reasonable, after all. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #29

This isn't debate, it's playing Gotcha, and you think you did but I think you failed. I'm done here. Electric Monk Aug 2013 #30

Already got my copy, but thanks for the offer derby378 Aug 2013 #11

Its almost as if they're ashamed to be caught hosting it... beevul Aug 2013 #12

It might simply be that they don't own the copyright. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #13

Update: the manual is still there derby378 Aug 2013 #19

I love the smell of cordite in the morning... MrScorpio Aug 2013 #26

The obvious reply would be: What does antigun lobbying smell like? friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #31

Smells like the EU, Oceania and Japan where guns aren't so welcome and life isn't so cheap coldmountain Aug 2013 #33

Why not get our thinking up and compare ourselves to Japan with almost no gun crime coldmountain Aug 2013 #36

You know, it's funny... MrScorpio Aug 2013 #38

Who's scared? The murder rate is half what it was thirty years ago. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #43

Now, see... That's a very typical gunhumping reaction you have there MrScorpio Aug 2013 #58

Insulting me seems to makes you feel better about yourself, so insult away. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #60

I'm fine, dude. MrScorpio Aug 2013 #67

NRA election spending: $24 million. Brady Campaign: $5,816 muriel_volestrangler Aug 2013 #35

Patriots of convenience these gun lovers coldmountain Aug 2013 #37

That says rather more about the "supporters" of gun control than the NRA, I think. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2013 #42

But when gun control organises, some DUers make threads like this, implying there's something wrong muriel_volestrangler Aug 2013 #72

No, thats a mischaracterization. beevul Aug 2013 #73
