NRA News

83. I often post on the topic of firearm rights and have repeatedly discussed my background.

For your reference, I have never owned a firearm in my life because I personally never felt the need or desire.

I consider myself very lucky, and would never deny the right to others. I'm also a born and bred New Yorker, litigation attorney living and working in the City, and previously worked at the USDOJ, National Institute of Justice, researching issues that included gun violence. Gun bans would not affect me personally and I'm informed professionally on the topic.

I find terms and accusations like "gun humper" and "ammosexual" amusing in their absurdity, and evidence of lack of maturity and intellectual rigor and persuasion skills. They are playground insults that mean nothing and convince no one of anything except the deficiencies of those adults who employ the terms.

However, by your standards, I imagine I'm more of a "closet gun humper" or maybe "ammo-curious." I'll just have to live with the shame...

In any event, as you and those like you hurl gratuitous personal insults, refuse to engage in substantive discussion, and blame all your innumerable gun control failures on the NRA boogeyman, I need only sit back comfortably and watch as gun rights liberalize with the ever increasing support of the electorate, our elected representatives, and the courts.
