A chance to see how racist the NRA is
...is upon us. We'll see how strongly they support the repeal of the
Washington DC gun ban.

1. So that explains it
I was in a department store yesterday, and the shelf where they keep the white sheets was empty. I thought Ashcroft was coming to town for a meeting.

3. If they were racist, they'd support the ban.
Wait, they don't support the ban on freedom? I guess that we now know what is really peeking out from under the anti-gun sheet.

4. Wow you just made one of the most racist statements
Edited on Thu Sep-30-04 11:31 AM by Fescue4u
That I've seen on this board.

To imply that the AfricanAmerican residents of DC are less worthy of owning firearms, than say...the entire rest of the United States... is blatantly racist.

So do you also support the poll tax, and school segregation as well?

Tell me, what other freedoms do you support keeping away those "uppity blacks"???

6. So which type of racism are you talking about?
Is the NRA Racist if they support the repeal because then more blacks can get guns and kill off each other more easily.

Or

Is the NRA Racist if it doesnt support the repeal as hard as they suppored the repeal of the AWB because after all they are just blacks and who cares if they can get guns or not.

7. Of course the NRA will strongly support the repeal of the D.C. laws
Was there any question about that? Will the gun nuts try to claim that they are sticking up for all those Black folks in D.C. by supporting the repeal? Well, only the craziest of them will try to make such a huge stretch.

11. I don't understand your point.
The NRA has a lawsuit pending to overturn the DC gun ban.

The NRA strongly supports the repeal of the DC gun ban. Ditto for the Gun Owners of America.

Do you consider supporting the repeal racist? Or is opposing the repeal racist?

I believe the DC gun ban itself is racist, and I will not visit DC until it is repealed.
