In reply to the discussion: As the NRA actively worked for Obama's defeat [View all]Pholus
(4,062 posts)148. Of course, the ELEPHANT in the room is elections.
I love this NRA talking point, especially when combined with the "you're gonna lose elections meme" here that comes up, coincidentally, each election season.

And consider THIS thread where a couple prominent RKBA denizens decry the "NRA doesn't speak for me" ad as a MOVEON stunt just like ar15.com did on the very same day.

And just remember, that the ar15.com trolls are proud of what they do. Do you really think it's unfair that most of us assume gunners are trolls when you NEVER post in any other forums than RKBA and start spouting off that baseball bats kill more people than guns so let's ban them?

So does the NRA speak for you? Between actual progressive policies and keeping your man card, which comes first? I think that is the main point you need to consider.

Around here "NRA talking point" usually means "disagrees with me on gun control."

NRA talking points are a set of lies that arise from NRA press releases or gun blogs,

thats what to expect from the NRA who rose from hell- hand in hand with their KKK brothers.

Yes, because it is completely impossible that the NRA is right about anything.

Your anger & your hatred is probably turning off those "scores of rational" folks.

Steve, with all due respect, please return to AR-15.com where your views fit in quite nicely

How would this "change" look? Who would decide censorship? What are the criteria?

The NRA has done too many things to stop meaningful gun control. The NRA is evil.
