This Sickening NRA Propaganda Video Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things — Like Gun Laws (VIDEO)

The NRA shared this video shortly after the terror attacks in Paris. I think it’s pretty clear that the timing wasn’t a coincidence.

On the NRA webpage, the text under the video states:

Politicians and the media are blaming you and your freedom for despicable acts of terror and violence. Now, more than ever, NRA needs your help to fight back.

The video begins with NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre saying:

You and I didn’t choose to be targets in the age of terror. But innocents like us will continue to be slaughtered in concert halls, sports stadiums, restaurants and airplanes.

Because this level of fear sells GUNS. If people fear being slaughtered in “concert halls, sports stadiums, restaurants and airplanes” they will rush right out and not only buy that gun - they will also advocate for the right to carry that gun to any of these places, and more. That increases the funds they will pump into the gun lobby.

Certainly a win for the NRA.

He then continues:

No amount of bloodshed will ever satisfy the demons among us.

The “demons” are “among us” - be afraid, very, very afraid.

LaPierre continues,”These cowards dream of inflicting more damage, more suffering, more terror. No target is too intimate or too sacred for these monsters. They will come to where we worship, where we educate and where we live.”

They are coming to get you. They will be in your churches and in your schools. FEAR IT!!

But, wait, the NRA can make you feel safe.

LaPierre then feeds his audience plenty of nationalism and ego stroking:

But when evil knocks on our doors, Americans have a power no other people on the planet share: The full-throated right to defend our families and ourselves with our Second Amendment. Let fate decide if mercy is offered to the demons at our door.

I’m the National Rifle Association of America. And I’m Freedom’s Safest Place.

And, that is where the men pound their chests and the women squeal in delight. All is safe and fine if we have a gun and live in a constant state of paranoia. That’s freedom!

FREEDOM!!!

Watch the video. See the disgusting propaganda for yourself. This is the fear machine that drives the right-wing to grab their guns and believe they are only free if they can walk around a Target with a long gun on their back.

  • Keith Cumbie

    Sorry. Dickless savages say what?

    • Airb0rne4325

      We say, “We are sorry that you are so naive as to think that law enforcement will be there for you when the enemy you refuse to recognize is standing over you with an illegal AK pounding rounds into your life draining body.”

      • Ian Thomson

        If the “enemy” was unable to obtain an AK , your described scenario couldn’t occur. You think ?

    • religion&politics

      So what’s that make you? A delusional little pus sy unwilling to take responsibility for his own security?

      Luckily for our gun rights, a solid majority of Americans agree with the NRA on this type of thing. Sane and rational people realize that the only person that can protect you all the time is YOU.

  • Postal Trucker

    These asshats say they have a right to “protect” themselves. What they’re too stupid to understand is that if there were four of them standing together on the sidewalk with their AKs and ARs, anyone with the intent to do them harm could approach them, surprise them by pulling out a handgun, and kill all four of them before they could even get their manhood unslung from their shoulders.

    • Airb0rne4325

      I doubt that to be true but I will agree that they are asshats. These morons who think that standing there with a long rifle is proving some kind of point. I, being very pro gun, would tell them they are asshats for that type of display. It is unnecessary. You wanna open carry, then carry a small firearm for protection. A high powered rifle can be used for protection but it is an overkill. Carry a pistol, snug to your hip and if you want an extra mag on the other side. That is all you need to get your butt out of a bind. You do not need an AR with a 30rd mag. If you do require that then maybe you need some education and range time.

      • religion&politics

        I agree. Like you, I’m a strong pro gun advocate who feels that open carry, especially in the city, is not the way to go in nearly all areas. Of course, this is also the reality of the situation. Most people are NOT out there carrying around their guns openly like this in public, except sometimes to guard different places like stores and recruiting stations.

        Concealed carry all the way. Why not be a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

        • Airb0rne4325

          CC is definitely the way to go. Always keep your cards close to the vest.
          Agree with you too Lincoln, no reason to show everybody your business and the aggressor always has the element of surprise on his side.

        • Lincoln F. Sternn

          On the positive side, if you are carrying concealed, and one of these Rambo-wannabes is the first target of a shooter, your now know who the shooter is, and they do not know you are armed.
          Element of surprise now in your favor.

      • Lincoln F. Sternn

        Actually, the element of surprise would strongly favor the attacker in that scenario. Look at those four cops who got ambushed in Oregon. Only one got a hand on their sidearm. And long guns would be even worse.
        The body just freezes for that instant or two, and no amount of training will change that. Even if you notice the person walking up, you may not have time to react.

        Concealed carry is the only way to go, if you must carry at all. Same reason you don’t flash wads of cash around.

  • Lincoln F. Sternn

    I really miss the days when the NRA was run by hunters and sport shooters and not gun lobby prostitutes and fear mongering fools.
    It really used to be an organization you could be proud to be a part of.

    • religion&politics

      Oh, it still is. Only the mentally challenged actually believe the ludicrous statement that the NRA are “gun lobby prostitutes” who are only out for profits. Why can people like you not understand the fact that, without gun manufacturers, there will be no guns for the people to purchase? You can’t have the one without the other, but instead of admit this, you focus only on the “evil profiteering gun manufacturers” in a blatantly dishonest attempt to criticize the efforts of an organization of which a solid majority of Americans hold a favorable view.

      • Ian Thomson

        Bullshit !!!!

      • Lincoln F. Sternn

        Well, you have your opinion, and I have mine.
        Isn’t it wonderful to live in America where that is, for now, still legal?

        • CRJJ

          It’s quite refreshing to see a pro-gun owner being respectful when attacked by a silver person. I surely do hope the majority are more like yourself and not who you responded to. Thanks for giving people like me hope for a better future :)

          • religion&politics

            Oh really? He calls people like me “gun lobby prostitutes,” and you call this “respectful”? I call him “mentally challenged” and all the sudden you have a problem with disrespect?

            Really? You can kiss my a s s you hypocritical douchenozzle.

        • religion&politics

          YOU are entitled to your own opinions, sure, but not to your own facts. You have the facts wrong on this one.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Well, I disagree.

          • religion&politics

            Your disagreement doesn’t change the facts.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            And your belief in your “facts” don’t make them actual facts.

          • religion&politics

            The clear fact that if there are no gun manufacturers to buy from, regular people won’t be able to get guns is not a fact that requires belief. It is simply true. Your refusal to recognize this simple fact shows me how dishonest your argument really is.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            What are you babbling about? No gun manufacturers? Who, besides you, said anything about no gun manufacturers?
            Hey, if no one planted cherries, there would be no baked cherry pies! Alert the media.
            Could you just once in your life quit being a hysterical little girl? there actually is a viable, sensible middle ground to this discussion. Because of people like you on both sides of the argument, I am firmly convinced we will never achieve it. But, it is there.

          • religion&politics

            That was YOU. You’re the one calling the NRA “shills for the gun manufacturers” while ignoring the fact that people need places to buy guns. You can’t have one without the other.

            You’re right, we may never achieve the middle ground here, as long as people on the left are calling for confiscations and for regulations that have no chance of stopping crime at all, we never will. I will not give an inch.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Again, where has anyone but you talked about there being no gun manufacturers or dealers in this conversation. Funny, you have exactly the same line as a few nuts on the very far left.
            And sorry, boy, but look at the money going into the NRA for their lobbying efforts. All from the gun manufacturers. You lose.

            As for you not giving an inch, wow, how shocked am I to hear that? You don’t have the intellectual courage to “give an inch,” more commonly known as listening to someone else’s viewpoint. Your world would fall apart if you did.

          • religion&politics

            Sure, let’s look at the money going into the NRA for their lobbying efforts. Oh yea, NONE of the money coming from gun manufacturers is actually used for lobbying, so found CNN.

            http://money.cnn.Com/news/cnnmoney-investigates/nra-funding-donors/

            LOL, you’re hilarious, you know that? I won’t give an inch because your ilk have shown that you are not interested at all in treating people like like anything but the enemy. I have already given up enough of my rights, I will give up no more. End of story. Your side is every bit as intractable, so don’t bother pretending like they aren’t.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Tell me, you poor mistreated soul, what rights have been viciously stripped from you?
            My side? What is my side? Show me, you gutless punk, where I have done anything but promote a common sense, equitable conversation.
            You can’t, because I haven’t. I know people who would love to see all guns magically disappear. I tell them straight up it is never going to happen.
            But, just like you won’t give an inch against this imaginary boogeyman you are so terrified of, I won’t give an inch against people who think their rights supersede everyone else’s.
            Yes, you are the enemy. Because you think you are the only one with any rights. Because you would rather die than have a conversation with anyone who disagrees with you on this topic.
            You haven’t given one seconds consideration to any point I have made. You just immediately tried to counter with BS. You want respect, you worm? Earn it.

          • religion&politics

            Awww, look at all the name-calling. Guess my clear facts and logic are starting to get to you, huh?

            Show you? Sure. I suppose that you consider calling the NRA “gun lobby prostitutes” is totally “promoting a common sense, equitable conversation,” huh? I guess the only people deserving of your “equity” are those that agree with you, am I right?

            I would “rather die than have a conversation with anyone who disagrees with [me] on this topic”?? LOL!! I’m talking with you right now, and I’m not dead yet. I hold my ground quite well against gun grabbers all the time, no suicidal thoughts yet.

            I haven’t seen you make any serious points for consideration, other than to badmouth the NRA. Once you start actually doing that, then sure, I’ll take you seriously. Right now, not so much.

            I don’t want your respect, I want you to stop spreading lies.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            “Awww, look at all the name-calling.” So, are you going to remember this little bit of hypocrisy the nest time you are calling someone a “libturd”? Of course you aren’t.
            Clear facts and logic? You should be a comedian. You are a hysterical little girl.
            So, tell me, when you take someone’s money, and then bend over and spread for them, what other term besides “prostitute” would make you happy? The NRA used to be about gun safety, hunter training, child safety. Now all of that is secondary to promoting this insane fear that the big bad government is going to confiscate all our guns. And terrorists, let’s not forget them muzlems. Fear mongering, plain and simple. And you asked for a second helping.

            We aren’t having a conversation, worm. A conversation requires two way dialogue. You haven’t considered for a second one word I have said. And you won’t, because you might learn something. And that would be bad.

            As I said, worm, you have your opinions, and I have mine. Why don’t you just go wallow in the shallowness of yours?

          • religion&politics

            You said: Show me, you gutless punk, where I have done anything but promote a common sense, equitable conversation.

            and I did just that. Nice work admitting that you’re doing nothing but calling the NRA names. Glad to see you’re making progress. Any chance of my listening to your more reasonable suggestions flies right out the window when you make these false claims about us.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            And again, you gutless hypocrite, you have avoided the meat of the conversation. As you always do. I guess we will have those cherry pies after all. You’ve been cherry picking all day.
            The good news for you is that my opinion of you has exactly as much weight as your opinion of me, which is none.
            My charges against the NRA are verifiable. And, you candyass weinie, it isn’t a matter of hating the NRA. I was a member for 20+ years. I hate what it has become. And the worms who are running it now.
            So, again, go wallow in your sad delusions of persecution.

          • religion&politics

            If the “charges against the NRA are verifiable,” so then is the threat of violence that Americans face every day. Plus, they’re only one small part of the situation, yet you ascribe the motivations of EVERYONE who rushes out to buy a gun after a mass shooting or other crime to the NRA’s advertising, or at least a large portion of them. This accusation is both indefensible and eminently unhelpful. You want to have a “reasonable discussion” by both sides? Start by not making such ridiculous claims about the NRA and their message. They are not wrong.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Ha, I knew I could wrangle you into making a sensible post!
            Glad you are back, BS meetings all day and I am bored to tears.
            No one sane doubts there are threats. And most gun owners, like myself, are sensible people.
            But, you have to give some veracity to the idea that there is more to NRA rhetoric lately than just protecting people’s lives. Like tobacco or any big industry, these people need to sell their product and will say anything to do it.

          • religion&politics

            Although I do not agree with this personally, I am willing to admit that there are probably those in the NRA that are guilty of this, and it isn’t honest of me to try and claim otherwise. However, I’d rather have them sounding the alarm than not. The threat against our lives and our gun right is real. Yes, they should tone down the rhetoric a bit. No, they are not even close to fully responsible for the panic buying going on after mass shootings and other crimes.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Now, we are on the same page.
            You argue like an Irishman. I respect that.

          • religion&politics

            Which gun rights have been taken from the American people? Sure, I’ll bite:

            1. If I want to buy a sound suppressor for my gun, I have to pay a $200 nuisance tax (originally the equivalent of over $3400 when the law was first passed) and wait 4-6 months for approval from the ATF, all for a device that merely makes a gun quieter, protecting my hearing. In Europe, suppressors are legal everywhere, and are considered good manners. Here, they will get you federal prison time, and for what reason? None.

            2. Complete handgun bans in Chicago and DC - people living in these cities were denied the basic right to self defense for decades. Only the 2008 Heller SCOTUS decision reversed these bans, a decision that the gun grabbers are always whining was wrong. Were it up to the grabbers, any city, county or state could entirely ban guns like this.

            3. Residents of NY have recently had their legally owned firearms confiscated by the state government. Residents of Los Angeles owning any magazine over 10 rounds is now required to give them up with no grandfathering. Course, no one has taken them up on the offer.

            Imagine how much worse things would be without the NRA. Obama and Hillary are both on recent record praising Australia’s 1994 mandatory gun buyback. If they had the support in congress to enact a similar law here, don’t insult my intelligence by trying to claim that they wouldn’t. OF COURSE they would. The NRA is right to sound the alarm, even if they do overdo things sometimes. Our gun rights are just too important not to.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Suppressors? Wow, now we are getting into I want my toys territory. Same with high capacity mags. Those are conveniences and toys, not necessities.
            I supported lifting the bans on handguns in Chicago and D.C., but, bear in mind, long gun ownership was not banned, and a good 12 gauge is the best for home defense.
            Are you talking about the SAFE Act? Nothing in there about confiscation except when police deem a person a danger. I am fine with that.

            The fact is, Australia’s violent crime/gun crime rates plummeted after they removed so many guns from circulation. America isn’t Australia. Either demographically or politically. That kind of law wouldn’t work here because we are too diverse in population.
            As for President Obama or Hillary Clinton, they are both pragmatists. They would never go down a road that would so fundamentally change the nature of this country.

          • religion&politics

            There you go, trying to decide for me what is a “toy” and what is a “necessity.” You don’t get to do that and not claim to be a gun grabber, sorry.

            Only handgun ownership was entirely banned in Chicago and DC, yes, but long guns and shotguns were required to be locked up separate from their ammunition, effectively rendering them entirely useless for home defense. These people were left nearly entirely defenseless for decades. Also, don’t forget, it is this type of restrictions that the anti gun left is looking for. Just because they were stopped by a SCOTUS decision that they hate doesn’t mean they won’t stop trying to ban guns like this.

            Actually, Australia’s crime rates have been entirely unaffected by their gun buyback program, this according to reports from the Australian government. Sure, their overall rates are down, but then again so are those in the US, by nearly exactly the same margin. Nearby New Zealand has seen an identical drop in crime rates, but they have not passed the type of restrictive gun regulations that Australia did. You are attempting to show a causal relationship between the buyback and crime rates, but this is very dishonest and very clearly not true if you look at the issue with even the tiniest amount of profundity.

            I’m glad to see you admit that Australia’s laws wouldn’t work here, there are simply far too many other variables at play, including size, location, foreign policy, domestic policy, drugs, gangs, etc, etc.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            That new Corvette a “necessity”?
            Several hunters I know have started using suppressors, to protect their hearing. Where I was raised, the sound of a shot let you know hunters were in the area and to keep an eye out. Both valid points, I guess. I just use earplugs.
            I was unaware of of long gun restrictions separating them from ammo. I will have to check that out.

          • religion&politics

            Fine, in the spirit of attempted cooperation, I will admit that for most people suppressors are not a necessity. However, this is not really my point. My point is that there was no reason to regulate them like this in the first place. They are not dangerous, they don’t make any firearm more dangerous, and they actually don’t silence a hunting firearm entirely, unless you’re using a subsonic, heavy bullet that will drop like a rock after 50 yards. You would still be able to hear the other hunters, just not quite as loud. It is this type of freedom that we have lost, a loss that has occurred with no return at all. The James Bond ideal that too many people have of suppressors is just not accurate, and I’m really glad that more people are learning about them and losing their fear of these safety devices.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Actually, I just pegged you as a Corvette guy.
            No, the suppressors sold to civilians are definitely not military grade. The Marine Corps Hostage Rescue Team has MP5s using subsonic ammo and the only thing you hear is the brass hitting the floor. My son took me to Quantico to watch them train several years ago. Pretty impressive, except for the MP5 and 9 mm round. I’ll take my father’s WW2 Tommy Gun any day.

          • religion&politics

            LOL, no. Mustang maybe, Charger, maybe. Corvette? Ugh, no.

            Wow, I’d pay good money to be able to watch those guys train. Very cool!

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            They are impressive. Word is, they developed a lot of their tactics from the SAS guys who took back the British embassy in 1970-80 something. Young, tough, fast and good-looking. Like myself 40 years ago. Ahem… Anyhoo, they apparently burn up more ammo in a week than an infantry unit does in a year.

          • William The Warlord

            What exact “middle ground” are you talking about?

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Common sense laws on ownership and background checks. Keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally unstable and violent.
            Hey, how about passing a law that says people on the terrorist watch list can’t friggin’ buy guns? Oops, we tried that, and the Republicans blocked it.

          • religion&politics

            Gee, how about respecting the right of the American citizen to DUE PROCESS? Mere suspicion is not enough under our law for civil rights to be taken away, now is it?

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            That is a valid point. Right up to the point an abuser shoots his girlfriend while awaiting trial for abuse. Because he was allowed to keep his weapons.
            Or someone who is being watched by the FBI buys weapons over the internet and shoots up a civic center.

            Got complicated, didn’t it?

          • religion&politics

            Complicated, yes. Reason enough to suspend civil liberties based on suspicion alone? No.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Slippery slope to be sure.
            And with so many police looking like complete tools these days, it is hard to justify the “let the police remove weapons from the home if they feel there is a threat.” without getting a judge involved. Removing and confiscating being, hopefully, two different things.
            On the other hand, two streets from my daughters house, guy beat the crap out of his wife, got arrested, she bailed him out, took him home, he grabbed a gun and murder/suicide.
            Friggin’ world has changed in 67 years.

      • CRJJ

        You’re attacking a responsible gun owner , and being quite disrespectful.

        Then why would the NRA have given politicians over $20 million in 2014? Are you aware of the magazine options you have as a subscriber? Hunting, Rifles, or America’s First Freedom. Yes I’m a member. LaPierre is a fear monger to help line his and his friends pockets.

        A solid majority of Americans do not hold a favorable view of the NRA, especially since LaPierre has been around.

        • religion&politics

          Oh really? I don’t see you calling out Lincoln up there for his use of the extremely disrespectful term “gun lobby prostitutes”? Why aren’t you condemning his attacking the 5 million responsible NRA members, or his disrespect?

          A solid majority of Americans do not hold a favorable view of the NRA, especially since LaPierre has been around.

          You are sorely mistaken. Fully 58% of Americans hold a positive view of the NRA, this coming from Gallup from October of this year

    What a friggin’ asshat.

    • religion&politics

      Butthurt much? The NRA has kicked your gun grabbing arses up and down the block time and again. The fact that you’re whining and calling them names, and criticizing their clearly effective marketing strategies, shows just how badly they’re beating you. I am not at all surprised that the NRA enjoys the support of a firm majority of Americans.

      • Lincoln F. Sternn

        Your bumper-sticker view of the world doesn’t surprise me.
        But, that’s okay. Your opinion carries exactly zero relevance with me.

        • religion&politics

          Uh huh. Repeating the oft-debunked mantra that the NRA are only shills for the gun manufacturers is the TRUE “bumper-sticker view of the world” around here.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            And the fact that after every shooting incident the NRA puts out these hysterical ads that “OBBUMMER’S JACKBOOTS ARE CUMMIN TO TAKE YER GUNZ!!!!!!!” causing ridiculous spikes in gun and ammunition sales is just a coincidence?
            As I said, man, your opinions are yours.

          • religion&politics

            Go ahead and point to the last such ad they put out after a mass shooting. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

            While you’re looking for that, perhaps you could check out the New York Times’ first front page editorial since 1920 calling for gun confiscation.

            When a major paper like this, one widely accepted as the voice of the anti-gun left drops all pretense and states quite clearly that ” it would require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens,” the NRA’s warnings are no longer in question.

            No, I have never seen any such “hysterical” ad threatening that Obama is going to send his jack-booted thugs to take my guns. You’re making this up. Now, individual kooks are certainly putting up all sorts of stuff out there, on both sides, but this isn’t the same as the NRA deliberately trying to scare people. Look at San Bernadino. Those people, with absolutely ZERO prodding from the NRA or anyone else, looked at this terrorist attack and realized that they need to be able to defend themselves. This situation has very, very little to do with the NRA and everything to do with the desire of the average American to defend him/herself.

            The point is that the anti-gun left has dropped all pretense of not wanting gun confiscation. We know they do, we always have, and we know they WOULD if we let them. If a viable piece of legislation gets traction in congress, by then it would be too late. You must understand this.

            Really?
            Then just look at the ad in this story.

            DEMONS AT THE DOOR!!!! RUN!!!! GET YER GUNZ!!!!!

            Honestly man, don’t talk to me anymore. You are an ideologue with zero interest in the substance of these matters.

          • religion&politics

            Where in this ad does LaPierre state that anyone is coming for our guns? Are people being slaughtered in concert halls, sports stadiums, restaurants and airplanes? YES we are.

            What’s the matter? Don’t like being proven wrong over and over? The only people who tell me that they’re “done with me” are those that can’t actually refute what I’m saying. The NRA is RIGHT about this, and you’re telling lies about them. You should pull your head out of the stand and start being a bit more honest.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            As I said man, your opinions.
            Here’s a few facts, real facts, for you.
            You are many times more likely to be murdered by a family member or acquaintance than THE BIG BAD WOLF!!!!!
            You are many times more likely to be accidentally shot by a family member or acquaintance than THE BIG BAD WOLF!!!!!
            Only one of the last ten “mass shootings” has been by radical muslims. The rest were by delusional, homegrown white boys. Conservative, Christian white boys.

            As for La Pierre, look at the majority of his statements, with an open mind for once. Look at how he conducts business.

            I am truly sorry you can not get past your narrow world view. You are obviously capable of an intelligent conversation. You are just unwilling to have one. In my opinion.

          • religion&politics

            So, you can’t tell me where in that ad LaPierre is saying those things you are claiming he is saying. So, you were LYING. Very good.

            That’s quite the seismic goalpost shift you’ve got there Lincoln my man. I’m not even going to touch that steaming pile of crap, although I could quite easily debunk every last lie you’ve put in there. However, that’s not what we’re talking about right now.

            My world view is not “narrow,” or at least not any more narrow than yours. I simply believe that a strong defense is necessary in the violent, unpredictable world in which we live, and I join with the other 58% of Americans that hold a positive view of the NRA and their accomplishments. The NRA will continue to own your sorry a s s es into the foreseeable future, and every last bit of my disposable income will go to them, thanks to people like you.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Dude, you’ve lost. Give it up.
            You are a gutless punk. For once in your craven existence, do some research that isn’t aimed at finding ways to justify your viewpoint. Ha, who am I kidding? You are a La Pierre lapdog.

            This poll you keep quoting, funny how I’ve seen you tell people one poll doesn’t mean anything, unless it suits your purposes, of course.
            As for debunking my lies, good luck since they are all from easily verifiable statistics.
            As far as the NRA owning anything of mine, please punk, tell me how they have done that? Well, they have managed to block anything even remotely resembling a common sense conversation on this topic, so, I guess you have me there. Congratulations.

            Please, pour your last $50 into the NRA. I am certain it will be added to the millions they get from the gun manufacturers.

            Meanwhile, I will keep hunting, and sport shooting, and protecting my home. In a common sense, non-hysterical, non-gutless-crybaby way. Unlike you.

          • religion&politics

            I’ve “lost”!?!?! I should “give up”?!?!? LOL!!!!!!!

            do some research that isn’t aimed at finding ways to justify your viewpoint

            Ok then, when was the last time that YOU went out looking for ways to disprove your own opinion, huh? If I’m a “LaPierre lapdog,” what’s that make you, a “Bloomberg lapdog”? Pathetic.

            I’ve told people that one poll doesn’t mean anything? Yea, ok, whatever you say pal. Whatever you can do to detract from the fact that so many people more people that you thought actually support the NRA.

            Very good, you showed yourself how the NRA has owned your a s s. Nice work.

            Keep up your whining, for all the good it’s doing you. Give up, you’ve lost.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Ha ha. I like you, man. You have spirit. I honestly think if you pulled your head out of your backside, you could be a contributor.
            “Very good, you showed yourself how the NRA has owned your a s s. Nice work.” That you missed the relevant part of that paragraph does not in any way surprise me.

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            Dude, where’d you go?
            Are you really going to make me listen to this friggin’ irrelevant powerpoint?

          • religion&politics

            PPT?

            I had to go teach one of my courses. I’m a college professor with a fast internet connection…lol

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            I am sitting in zoning meetings all day. Trust me, universal availability of guns might be bad right now!
            Fortunately, they think I am taking notes. My grand-daughter taught me how to use an ipad. Now I am free.

          • religion&politics

            LOL! Well then, keep up the good work!

          • Lincoln F. Sternn

            You too.

    • CRJJ

      It surely does stink how he has ruined the NRA. He needs to go, ASAP.

  • CRJJ

    They don’t enjoy firm support of most Americans. If they did, there would be no need for the $20-30 million dollars spent each year on donations to political figures. Indeed, many organizations do it and it’s wrong all the same. I’m an NRA member, so I’m not anti 2nd Amendment.

    • religion&politics

      You may be an NRA member,
      but you’re mistaken on this issue. First, I did NOT say that they “enjoy firm support of most Americans.” I said that they enjoy the support of a FIRM MAJORITY of Americans, which is true, according to an Oct 2015 Gallup poll.

      58% of Americans hold a positive view of the NRA, that’s more than those that support Hillary, Obama, or any of the Republicans.

      http://www.gallup.Com/poll/186284/despite-criticism-nra-enjoys-majority-support.aspx

      there would be no need for the $20-30 million dollars spent each year on donations to political figures.

      Wow, really? There is so much wrong with this statement, starting with the fact that EVERY political figure MUST spend money to get elected, plus the fact that the NRA is nowhere anywhere near the top of the big lobbying spenders list. $20 million is NOTHING in this game. Hillary alone has raised far more than this by herself just during this campaign so far.

    Great video! I’m glad that NRA is becoming better at quickly responding to current events.
