In reply to the discussion: THIS is the NRA....... [View all]it shows the underlining classism. Like I said in your seven questions, it is more of a cover for higher income urban and suburbanites (right and left) to be respectable bigots towards working class and rural. You can see that in the two movements. Ever been to a Brady Campaign function? A couple of celebrities (right wingers like Rambo Stallone, Don Trump,and maybe a progressive someplace but all one percent) wearing tuxedos. Go to a gun rights function, most or all are 99 percent.
Honestly, the gun nut culture is cult like in their worship of their totems.
In my experience, that is more like the drug culture than the gun culture. That is one reason why I don't really like the drug culture that much.
There actually is little opposition. We have the grassroots, you have a couple of billionaires and a corporate foundation or two.
In this thread, probably the longest in DU history, posters are ranting about Ms. Moody being an innocent victim of drunken rednecks, who must have some undisclosed criminal records. Never mind that there is no mention of drinking by the adults. Never mind that her and her friends were committing a felony.

Would the posters that describe the girl as "innocent" if she lived in a trailer park and wore camo? No.
But since she is a high school athlete and from a middle or upper middle income household, she must be an innocent bystander.

Killing is a profitable business. Threats to kill politicians is apparently good advertising.

If someone said they would chop your head off then go to jail and, by the way, suck
