For the record:

Also...

...you seem unaware that I intensely dislike the NRA:

The NRA *and* the Brady Campaign(s) might be both be headed to the dustheap...
...of history, and I couldn't be happier about it. The sooner the armed wing of the Republican Party and the crypto-Prohibitionists are gone, the better.

Why I'm not going to rejoin the NRA just yet.

No point in donating money to people that piss on the President, while accepting Mitt's AWB.

For that matter, Americans for Resonsible Solutions has left the Bradys in the dust, as I predicted in that OP:

FWIW, I despise the NRA as it currently exists, that being the de facto
armed wing of the Republican Party.

You lot will only succeed when you finally realize that "disagreeing with you" =/=
"likes the NRA"

Unintended comedy alert. The American public came to its senses, seeing you couldn't ban something LittleBlue Oct 2015 #2

At least the "unintended comedy alert" part of your reply was correct. villager Oct 2015 #3

You are free to explain how 'gun Prohibition' would work... friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #5

I realize that misdirection and conflation are on your faxed sheet of talking points villager Oct 2015 #7

People are neither physically dependent on guns, nor can they manufacture them in a bathtub frizzled Oct 2015 #19

Guns can be homemade fairly easily, as any Australian bikie or Afghan peasant can tell you friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #23

Ah yes, we forgot about those "homemade mass killings" that have happened in Australia villager Oct 2015 #25

What do you propose to do about the 300 million extant guns in the US? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #29

IDK, let the owners make their own bullets? maxsolomon Oct 2015 #32

It seems irrational to purposefully conflate regulation with banning and prohibition. LanternWaste Oct 2015 #44

Damn, LittleBlue, you know how to spoil a party. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #12

So to be clear, E38 -- you support the NRA, and think they should continue to thrive? villager Oct 2015 #15

Glad to see that you're standing watch for Communi... err, NRA sympathizers here friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #24

Since "NRA Sympathizer" means you, and since there's no moral difference between them villager Oct 2015 #26

"Since "NRA Sympathizer" means you..." A lie- and you are not the first to promulgate it friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #34

Or possibly preventing the NRA from denying the CDC relevant health related studies again LanternWaste Oct 2015 #46

Really? The CDC did one a couple of years ago. Here's an excerpt: friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #67

Around the same time you quit answering direct questions on DU? villager Oct 2015 #41

I don't respond to vacuous inquisitions ("are you now, or have you ever been...") Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #49

No, what you're doing is dodging the fact you support the NRA. villager Oct 2015 #50

Actually, you have told a lie. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #51

No loss to him. It's also not the first time for that particular untruth of yours: friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #66

Defeating the NRA doesn't mean banning guns though. Bucky Oct 2015 #37

Rifles of any kind aren't the problem, per the FBI: friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #38

Many here are taught to conflate the two villager Oct 2015 #42

There is no "proliferation" of "assault rifles, machine guns." These weapons are strictly regulated Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #47

pretty soon the gun group guys will ride in to save the day in this thread... CTyankee Oct 2015 #6

What's really appalling -- and unsurprising -- is that they are here *defending the NRA* villager Oct 2015 #8

I think any DUer who supports the NRA should be banned. Right wing nuts! Nt Logical Oct 2015 #10

I agree. We don't allow racists to post here. Why do we allow NRA defenders? villager Oct 2015 #14

True! Or RNC members or KKK members. Nt Logical Oct 2015 #16

Exactly. And there is zero daylight between NRA defending, and anything else on that list villager Oct 2015 #17

You support the NRA? Really? Nt Logical Oct 2015 #11

How does my statement IN ANY WAY demonstrate support for the NRA? pablo_marmol Oct 2015 #21

Don't you know that chanting "NRA!" is a sovereign remedy? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #27

They are a right wing bunch of lying nuts! Nt Logical Oct 2015 #22

The people asking the question I posted? Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #28

Really, that is funny to you? Calling DU member right wing nuts? nt Logical Oct 2015 #33

Eleanors38 isn't the one that's been claiming that other DU members are NRA sympathizers friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #36

They are the Poo Fighters! Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #48

WP: "Most gun owners don’t belong to the NRA — and they don’t agree with it either" villager Oct 2015 #56

I don't really care. Kang Colby Oct 2015 #59
