[ClassWarrior]

1. Self-deleted because...

...the OP edited the post to clarify it, which changed the meaning completely.

NGU.

[asdjrocky]

2. Fuck the NRA.

What do they have, like 2 million members? I could never figure out why 3 million liberals don't get together and join just to change the organization.

[ClassWarrior]

4. Organize it.

NGU.

[X_Digger]

23. 4 million

"NRA’s nearly 4 million members—a number that has more than tripled since 1978. "

22. your post

is going to get deleted for using the term gun nuts

[stevedeshazer]

5. LOL!

A perfect score.

Was the knife made in China?

[UTUSN]

6. Not only perfect, but I cut out myID-info&MAILED the rest back in their postage-paid envelop!1 n/t

[ClassWarrior]

10. I love to do that. Someone put me on the Rape-Publican mailing list years ago.

So they waste their money mailing to me, and then I waste more of it mailing their shit back.

:rofl:

NGU.

[UTUSN]

11. It makes me feel my "input" COUNTS, unlike my VOTE!1 n/t

[donco6]

7. I'm sure they were shocked at your final answer.

Did they let you keep the free nickel?

[wtmusic]

8. You agree with "the politicians"? The "anti-gun extremists"?

How about "the push-polling NRA bastards"? :shrug:

[Curmudgeoness]

9. And they refused to send you the "free" offer? Bummer.

I have a feeling that this was not legal. So tell us, did they actually notify you that you were not getting the pocket knife because of your answers?

[UTUSN]

13. This is just a mass mailing, all in today's mail, no contact. n/t

[Fast Dude]

12. Thankfully, sensible people

Including 80% of DU, don't agree with you.

"5) Using your tax dollars, the UN seeks to impose international gun control affecting you and other American citizens. Do you think this is a good use of your tax dollasrs?

Yes."

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen posted here.

[UTUSN]

15. Nice to meet you, 80%ofDU, !1 n/t

[Fast Dude]

17. Click the link

The votes don't lie.

[UTUSN]

19. No need!1 Not for ME!1 Nope, nup, nip, nyet !1 n/t

16. Online polls are known for their accuracy.

And are never... gamed.

[Statistical]

27. Here are a couple more.

http://www.pollingreport.com/guns.htm

Pew Research Center. March 10-14, 2010. N=1,500 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.
"Thinking about gun laws: Do you think state and local governments should or should not be able to pass laws that ban the possession or sale of handguns in their jurisdictions?"

		Should 	Should Not 	Unsure 	  	 
		% 	% 	% 	  	 
3/10-14/10	45 	50 	5

CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. June 4-5, 2008. N=1,035 adults nationwide. MoE ±  3.
"Preventing all Americans from owning guns"
		Agree	Disagree
6/4-5/08	13 	87

Pew Research Center for the People & the Press survey conducted by Abt SRBI. April 23-27, 2008. N=1,502 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.  April 2007 & earlier conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International.

"Would you favor or oppose a law that banned the sale of handguns?"
		Favor 	Oppose 	Unsure 	  	 
		% 	% 	% 	  	 
4/23-27/08	36 	59 	5
4/23-27/08	36 	59 	5 	  	 
4/18-22/07	37 	55 	8 	  	 
3/15-19/00	47 	47 	6 	  	 
09/99		46 	50 	4 	  	 
05/99		44 	50 	6 	  	 
12/93		45 	51 	4

Yup pretty much what one would expect a large and growing super majority support individual ownership of handguns. DU is no different.

14. The NRA is a conservative political action group and mouthpiece.

Some of their handiwork:

[one-eyed fat man]

34. Gun control proponents'

have a mouthpiece that is an elitist moron with the technical acumen of an eggplant writing legislation banning things they are unable to even define or may not even exist.

shoulder go up thingy

heat seeking bullets

Only the guy who not only lit a bottle rocket held between his asscheeks, but had his buddy film it for posterity exceeded these you tube dumb-o-meter classics!

[Hoopla Phil]

36. Heat seeking bullets are real. Here is the proof

fast forward to 1:55

18. Whoa!1 This is the first time I've been moved to the Guns forum!1 Nighty NIGHT!1 n/t

[Brother Buzz]

20. Pfft. It's a genuine Buck knife but it's made in China

[baldguy]

21. You thought "free" was free?

"Free" costs a lot of money, donchaknow. The RW has known this for the last few decades.

[KansasVoter]

24. This might be the funniest thing I have read today......

And if that Survey is real then the NRA is insane.

[jody]

25. Do you oppose all enumerated rights our Constitution requires government to protect or do you pick

and choose those that fit your non-democratic agenda?

Hope someday you will change your position and support the Democratic Party which says "We recognize that the right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans’ Second Amendment right to own and use firearms."

[KansasVoter]

29. LOL...do you just cut and paste that response from old posts.

[dem mba]

26. just curious to get your take on the 2nd amendment

do you think it shouldn't be in there at all? is it outdated?

[one-eyed fat man]

32. Just look at his posts

His take on the Second is pretty clear. It guarantees his right to a fancy shotgun to shoot trap at the club once a month and fuck everybody else.

Anyone says different is an NRA stooge and pro-gun Democrats are all fakes.

[proteus_lives]

28. Are you responsible for a crime if your stolen car is used to commit it?

[spin]

30. The NRA promised me a cheap pocket knife if I renewed my membership ...

years ago.

Never did get it.

I was a little disappointed as I usually get a stupid hat and the knife sounded better.

[slackmaster]

31. You aren't missing anything. NRA sends out cheesy Chinese pocket knives as trinkets.

:nuke:

[rrneck]

33. You don't need a knife, they're dangerous. nt

[eqfan592]

35. Thank you for sharing with us the depth of your ignorance on this issue. (nt)

[KansasVoter]

37. I bet I could predict 100% of your answers. And would think they were as stupid.

[DonP]

38. Don't be so mean, he thought it would make him look cool in GD.

I did notice that he took off as soon as he realized he was getting serious questions.

After all, everyone knows, "Real Progressives" all hate the NRA blindly and with a white hot passion.

At least that's what the latest round of self appointed "Progressive Police" keep telling me. The fact that they give 10 times the campaign money that Brady and gun control give Dems, and they are recommending Dems more than ever in the last election cycle doesn't count for shit because their heart isn't pure enough.
