NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government.

[Soph0571]

An embarrassed National Rifle Association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do.

“Our whole reason for lobbying for looser gun laws and amassing huge personal arsenals of weapons these past years was so that we could ensure the security of a free state and protect the people from an oppressive government. And then it actually happened, and the whole rising up against a tyrannical government thing just totally slipped our minds, which is a little embarrassing,” a sheepish NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre said.

He said the morale around the NRA has been pretty low. “The guys feel pretty silly. We had our well regulated militia stocked up and ready to go, just waiting for the moment when the Government would turn on its own people. And then the government started shooting protesters and rolling tanks down the street, and we were like ‘guys this is the one we’ve been talking about, let’s go!’. But then something else came up and we forgot to do it. Damnit!”.

Observers were shocked that the NRA had missed their opportunity to defend their country. “I can’t believe it,” one analyst said. “It’s almost as if they weren’t worried about the government at all. It’s as if they were actually just scared of black people”.

Emphasis mine

Go figure!!! 👀
There is a truth here. Where are the militiamen fighting against the oppressor when you need them? Heh.

1. Paranoia about "jack-booted thugs" was all just an NRA marketing campaign to sell more guns.

2. Alright, I'm parking my car inside........

because if pigs are flying, it ain't gonna' be pretty!

Did LaPierre REALLY say that?

4. Satire

[Paladin]

7. But well-crafted, point-well-taken satire.

DU used to be awash in the "Gotta Fight The Evil Government" argument from our resident gun enthusiasts. Ever since the trump regime took power, it's gotten really quiet.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. Indeed!

But in these crazy times, one can NEVER be sure of anything anymore!!!!

[ananda]

14. Exactly. Where exactly is Wayne La Pierre and the NRA ...

... with regard to "jack-booted thugs" actually lining and
terrorizing our streets? Hmmm???

Oh yeah, they're white.....

[RVN VET71]

15. Little Petie didn't say it. He didn't have to

He lives that hypocrisy every day of his grifting life.

[brewens]

3. Rumor going around is some of those feds are actually AntiFa in disguise! Or maybe I just made

that up. If we got that out there, maybe "Meal Team Six" would go into action.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. 2A was just a co-opted marketing plan. It was really about selling guns, looking cool, and beer

Honestly, the Russian Army could invade and these flabby carcasses would be cowered in their basements listening to Rush.

[Locrian]

6. exactly

With most of them it's all just cosplay: dressing up like some military action hero or whatever.
Weak, pathetic losers who need to feel like they haven't lost their "manhood".

[NCjack]

8. It's too scary for NRA"s "well regulated Militia" stand up against the Border Patrol jackboots.

[A Clear n Present D]

9. HELL Yeah!

They've been bitching about tyranny for decades. So what do they do when there's an actual tyrant? Diddly freakin' Squat!

[dalton99a]

10. +1

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Why aren't all the militias & "patriots" literally up in arms against Feds kidnapping people?

Oh, yeah, hypocrisy and being afraid.

You would think that when they are constantly protesting against masks and gun control on the basis that it is TYRANNY! that they would be against unidentified people in military gear snatching citizens (CITIZENS!) off streets and stuffing them into unmarked vehicles.

But no.

Somehow masks are tyranny but government disappearing citizens is not tyranny.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. "Somehow masks are tyranny but government disappearing citizens is not tyranny."

THAT's the quote of the week!

Masks NO! Goon Squads YES!

Would be a good chant to add a tag line.

[lagomorph777]

30. Somehow masks are tyranny but government disappearing citizens is not tyranny.

New campaign slogan.

Lincoln Project? Meidas Touch?

16. Bundy, Bundy, Bundy, Bundy

Remember the brave clan seizing a federal building in Oregon, their militia friends showing up and aiming high powered, scoped rifles in the vicinity of the federal officers monitoring the scene? Remember the screeds of the Bundy supporters about tyranny and the need to defend "FREEDOMS"?

Where are those jackboot licking morons now? Either cowering in a dung filled cave somewhere or making ready their Blood and Soil banners to march with the federal thugs, that's where.

I'm calling out all of those militia sissies here and now: show your true colors and stand up and fight for what you said you believe in, or throw down your guns, put on your pink tutus and kneel before the power of the state like the shameless putzes you all are.

[kacekwl]

21. Bundy and his crew are to busy

trying to get into local government board meetings with out masks to prove freedumb and liberty or some shit.

25. Malheur NWR occupation

Obama was president then. Imagine the outcry if he had deployed even 10 percent of the force used in Portland! And those cretins were destroying federal property.

[Aussie105]

17. You have to know how to translate NRA hype to understand.

NRA: We need a well armed, organized militia for the time the government turns on it's citizens.

Translation: Buy guns, buy guns! Our sponsorship and income from the gun makers depends on sales!
Dammit! Buy more guns!

NRA: All it takes is one good man with a gun . . .

Translation: Yeah buddy, because with your lack of intelligence, smelly breath, beer gut and bad manners, you sure aren't going to make it with the ladies! A big gun though, might impress them!

NRA: You need guns, lots of them, for home protection against burglars!

Translation: Keep one close by, under the bed, in a shoebox, loaded and safety off.
If little fingers play with it, well, that's just the price of freedom!

NRA: We are full of hype, double talk and shit.

Translation: We are full of hype, double talk and shit. But we get away with it, so we will carry on.

18. The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. Hey, it was a busy year. First, they held the Wayne LaPierre lookalike contest,

then there was the recreation of the Bowling Green Massacre, and then the bake sales, and then Chester got a really bad rash, and then came Rambopalooza, and then Cletus had to get a haircut, and then there was the worldwide Cheetos famine... okay, so they overlooked a few events along the way.

But the next time an overreaching government tries to sap and impurify your precious bodily fluids, they'll be there, you betcha!

[Martin Eden]

20. Rightwing nutjobs armed to the teeth ...

... are eager to be fascist thugs for rightwing authoritarianism in America.

[moondust]

22. Police state tyranny

is only bad when the other guys are doing it. Remember Nazis v. Commies?

[JohnnyRingo]

23. For once, LaPierre makes a good point.

This is exactly what the NRA has been warning about for decades. The tanks are rolling in the streets and soldiers are acting as police, but the NRA and those Tea Party patriots are sitting by watching.

Do they not believe that military force will be used soon against them?

[Nay]

24. I've been saying this for years -- don't wait for all the 2nd Amendment nuts to defend

us against actual tyranny. They're all in on tyranny as long as they get to be the tyrants.

[central scrutinizer]

26. They may get their chance soon

27. Stand your ground question.

If you are attacked by unidentified people can you stand your ground with a gun? Assuming your state has stand your ground laws.
Would the NRA support this use of stand your ground?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

28. Truth!

Very accurate satire!

31. We need MORE well-armed leftwing militias marching

Just like this.

https://www.newsweek.com/armed-black-demonstrators-challenge-white-supremacist-militia-georgias-stone-mountain-park-1515494?amp=1

1000 heavily armed militia, all of whom were Black, marched through Georgia's Stone Mountain Park on Saturday, challenging white nationalist groups in the area to either come out and fight or join them in demonstrating against the government.

NFAC: Not Fucking Around Coalition.

[dustyscamp]

33. We need more responsible gun owning leftwingers around

[DBoon]

32. They took over an Oregon bird sanctuary a while back

That really tired them out. They are resting a bit before rising up to fight tyranny again.
