Let me make this abundantly clear by being as blunt as I possibly can be:
It isn't about the nra, or organizing, politicians, or anything of that sort.
Its about whats been going on on DU, with people that hold views ranging from "we need lots more control" to "ban them all", accusing those of us who are pro-gun of using "nra talking points"/"taking our marching orders from the nra" without a shred of evidence, in between assertions and insinuations that "we don't care about dead children" and the like...rather than debating or discussing any given issue on the merits or lack there of, in good faith.
Make no mistake, that's what people on your side of the issue have been doing quite regularly.
That's why I posted the original OP in the gun forum - to point out the utter hypocrisy of those that make such claims and insinuations.
Its not a matter of "taking the moral high ground", its a matter of making it clear that those of you that make such insinuations haven't a leg to stand on, because those of you that claim we use "nra talking points" have been spouting canned talking points of your own.
Documented ones at that.
