They really have gone off the deep end. At one point the NRA was mostly known as a promoter of gun safety and a promoter of sporting events. Now, they're in fascistville with the tea baggers, the birthers, and the super rich.

I don't remember when NRA morphed into an unthinking right wing beast. Reagan era, maybe?

If you support the NRA financially, you support the Republican Party, because that's where most of their money goes.

But NRA = GOP, so the comparison can be made. BOTH the NRA and the GOP needs to be destroyed like rabid dogs, though I'd trust rabid dogs before the NRA or the GOP.

That includes plenty of Dems - even the President stays away from the issue.
