What I Fear, What Made Me Drag my Feet on Gun Control: Brady-Style Gun Control

[Fumesucker]

33. Gun owners allowed the NRA to become their public face, so be it

Just like the liberal and moderate Christians allowed the fundies to become public face of Christianity because they loathe the idea of having a theological food fight with them right out in front of God and everybody.

Now you get to live with the consequences of that choice, everyone who's not a gunner thinks the NRA speaks for you.

If there's not a really big movement of gunners speaking out loudly against the NRA you're all going to get more and more painted with their radical rhetoric and insane positions. Personally I don't think it's going to happen and the roughly 2/3 of America that doesn't own guns is going to become more and more disgusted with those who do because of idiotic statements like first graders should mass charge a shooter and children are slaughtered because God is a gentlemen who won't go into schools because he's not wanted.

It won't be long before there's another massacre, they're running about two a month now on the average and then we'll get to play this whole disgusting show over again and gunners will lose a bit more credibility.

It's hardly bigotry or prejudice to say that those who have made a bed of nails for others should sleep in it themselves.
