NRA: Civil rights organization or Terrorist enablers?

[billbuckhead]

(A) Civil rights organization
"Because you choose to own guns- affirmed by no less than the Bill of Rights - you embrace a view at odds with the cultural war lords. If that is the outcome of cultural war, and you are the victims, I can only ask the obvious question. What will become of the right itself? Or other rights not deemed acceptable by the thought police? What other truth in your heart will you disavow with your hand?

Rank-and-file Americans wake up every morning, increasingly bewildered and confused at why their views make them lesser citizens. The message gets through; Heaven help the God fearing, law-abiding, Caucasian, middle-class Protestant-or even worse, evangelical Christian, Midwestern or Southern- or even worse, rural, apparently straight-or even worse, admitted heterosexuals, gun-owing-or even worse, NRA-card-carrying, average working stiff-or even worse, male working stiff-because, not only don't you count, you are a down-right obstacle to social progress. Your voice deserves a lower decibel level, your opinion is less enlightened, your media access is insignificant, and frankly, mister, you need to wake up, wise up, and learn a little something from your new-America and until you do, would you mind shutting up?"

Charlton Heston
President of the National Rifle Association


(B) Terrorist enablers

This infamous Grover Norqist quote is one of many reasons why I think the NRA is a terrorist organization.

“My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
