Anyone who joins the NRA right now is a friggin' idiot. If there
was
ever an organization that had gone awry, this is it. Depending on
the
poll, between 70 and 90% of the American people want mandated
background checks on all gun sales and yet the NRA vehemently
opposes.

I venture to guess that many members will cancel or allow their
memberships to lapse after this round of stupid lunacy.

-------------------------------------------

It's not the members. 74% of the NRA membership support universal
background checks. The nut case is Wayne LaPierre who happens to
get
all the media publicity. BTW ... he's not even the President of the
NRA. He performs the roll of CEO and is the national spokesman and
loud
mouth. Problem is he doesn't present membership views ... only his
own.

As often said, "Don't judge a book by it's cover".

I am beyond disgusted with the group of Republicans who refuse to
even
hold a simple vote and are threatening to filibuster any gun control
bill. They are claiming that the Democrats might try to sneak in a
couple of amendments that they couldn't support, so therefore no
vote.
Can't they read? If they don't like the bill vote no. But at
least
do your jobs and vote.



I think the goal is to block any legislation that the current
administration is pushing. I might be wrong.

---------------------------------------------

That's not the job they were elected and are paid to do. Vote NO if
you must .... but vote.
All they are doing is protecting their own asses so come election time
they can get re-elected.
I think it's going to backfire on them this time. Even those who are
usually hard to starboard are disgusted.
(notice the boating content?)

It sure is the job they were elected to do. They were elected to represent their constituency
and they are duty bound to use any and all legislative tools available to do that.

Fine. Then you would have no problem when Reid changes the senate
rules. Just keep in mind that the constituency you're talking about is
the gun manufacturer lobby.


The really sad thing is that the greater media is not out in force supporting the Fox
correspondent who is threatened with jail in reporting on the Colorado shooting incident. It
appears that as long as the general media's preferred candidate is holding the presidencey
they are ok with having the rights of their opposition media outlets threatend.

It was in Huff Post. It's getting traction.

For those gun owners who are not yet members, the NRA is having a special on membership.

They also sell various other items, holsters, etc, etc, and even books for those who need to learn
more about the use of weapons and, especially, safeties. Their concealed carry book would probably
provide the answers to those 'special circumstances' you may encounter!

I'd bet more than 90% would like background checks if we could get the
gang-bangers to comply.

Does Earl = idiot in English?

I wonder why, if the members themselves are overwhelmingly okay with
background checks, that the bigwigs aren't. I'm going to guess that
it's
the politicians as usual getting in the way.

I am not a NRA member, so I don't know. I am sure the gun
manufacturers have influence and so do some of the politicians that
represent hard core "red" states. They can defend the right to
high
capacity magazines, "assault" type guns, etc., and although I
personally don't see any need for them, I can at least understand
their
arguments. But a background check to purchase a gun? That should
be
a no-brainer.

I

Should be if you ignore the obvious... but it's been brought up before
here so.....

-----------------------------------------

Your right. The hard core right have no brains. Neither does the
hard core left.




I think it depends on the definition of hard-core left. If you mean
people who put nails in trees, then yes. If you mean actual
socialists, then no.


You've proved you are hard core.The question is, right or left.

You've proved you're a racist dumb****. The question is, were you born
that way or did someone drop you on your head when you were baby.

Hi Harry! Sure hope you had a great weekend. Glad to see you're here sharing your knowledge and

BTW, there's a great range bag thread you might want to check out.
