This insanity from the NRA is nothing less than a call-to-arms and a call for violent overthrow

of the legally-elected Government of the United States. Where I come from that is called sedition and treason and it is not a PR issue, to be discussed by advertising represntatives, it is a legal issue and involves and is intended to provoke and involve individuals who are potentially dangerous. This is not tinfoil hattery, this is serious.

And when that nut explodes and kills some people, they'll shrug, and act surprised that such a mentally ill person could get weapons.

They used to be sane to a degree; now they are just scary sociopaths. I hope members will find another group to join. NRA has jumped the frickin' shark.

May their karma bite them in their well-armed asses.

which are commonsense ideals and there is not going to be a gun grab; if the NRA instigated hostility and violent actions of any kind it would be an act of treason.

Those fuckers and their ilk will never get over the fact that a black guy lives in the white house.
