I am told we're not supposed to call people out individually. I read some posts that appear to be just NRA echo chamber stuff, and then the same person re-posts it a dozen times, and the respond to comments with NRA talking points. So, yes, there probably are some people here just to repeat the NRA party line. That's unfortunate, but there's no way to prove it.
