122. Hang around in DU, the antis think it's All NRA, ALL the time...

Tue Oct 13, 2015, 04:04 PM

Oct 2015

But the NRA constitutes -4% of gun-owners. That's a huge number in terms of an active interest group, but isn't very representative of gun owners. To me the NRA is a weapon antis used against all gun owners, sorta like gay folks being constantly linked to child molestors (speaking of nuteg).

Hard to believe, but this is a different country from the others. I think it can change positively, but it won't be due to some campaign against a thing (Damn! this country DOES have anthing about prohibition). The thing I fear most is our institutions crumbling to such a degree that the only loud, consistent voice will be for corporate authority, and enough coercion to maintain a third world state. It is why I am for Sanders. He could be the last train out.
