Why the NRA is more monstrous than you think [View all]

[radiclib]

First, allow me to admit that this is only my opinion, but I believe it's supported by my own experience of years and decades of not being quite cynical enough to keep up with reality.
Many of us saw Chris Hayes' report about "smart guns", and how there has been a major organized push back against their sales by so-called "gun-rights" activists using outrageous intimidation and death threats. Some of this has been attributed to the existence of a New Jersey law that actually outlaws the sale of "non" smart guns beginning three years after the first sale.
NRA spokesman Larry Pratt was on Chris' show last night, and was asked if the NRA would support the sale of smart guns if the mandate was repealed. He failed so clumsily to answer the question that it was obvious what the answer was. The NRA will never, ever stand for the sale of smart guns under any circumstances. We're left to wonder why.
Personally, I don't wonder at all. The NRA wants more and more gun violence, because it's good for business. It's just that simple, and just that hideously evil. The NRA wants as many Americans to die from bullet wounds as possible, because the more death, the more fear, and the more fear, the better for the bottom line. Smart guns are bad for business.
I can't begin to describe how much I hate these people. God fucking help us.
