re: #13 Political Atheist

Look at who all agree that the NRA via Wayne LaPierre is utterly wrong-
Each and every gun control advocate.
90 to 95% of actual gun owners.
And the judge most reviled for his most conservative ways-Judge Scalia. Who explicitly pointed out regulations would be called for. Some of his language may paint the way for an assault weapon ban and o perhaps a capacity rule.

I ask you folks, how far out there do you have to be to unify such a range of opposition to your view? Can you even think of a similar example? Paulians maybe?

He also makes it very difficult to calmly advocate for the use of that individual civil right. This at exactly the time we must in fact rapidly and objectively profoundly regulate within the bounds of that right.

So just for my own humble posting, it’s just that much harder to get to an ear that isn’t angry or impatient or just closed. I work with people that need that right as legit as it gets.

So with my usual reluctance to F bomb a thread—-

Screw you Wayne, Shut Up, You Are Not Helping.

Time for a strategy.

Like you said elsewhere, you can only quit the NRA once. It doesn’t seem to bother them enough. That’s because their money comes more from gun manufacturers than from members (correct me if I’m wrong there). So ask the manufacturers to quit supporting the NRA. It will take a lot of gun buyers to have an influence, but from your comment it looks like a matter of organizing those who are already willing, rather than needing to convince people.
