I own several guns but would never give the NRA a dime. They're an absolutist group that is anti science and anti hunter. I loathe them. They're everything that is bad about gun ownership in America.

Damn it, I loved baseball weekly!

It was the best ever.. I waited for the day it came out.

I encourage each of you fine gentlemen to take advantage.

The link doesn't detail any benefits of membership.

Here is a list of the deadliest mass gun shootings in the US over recent years.

Pretty sure not a single member of this group was also a member of the NRA, yet they managed to get their hands on their firearms, nevertheless.

So what's the point of paying money to the NRA, when a person can perpetrate destruction just as easily without joining?

At least with AdultFriendFinder, a person with a paid membership can send messages to chicks who post naked pictures of themselves on their profiles in an effort to hook up.

This is great. It's true, exactly 0.00% of the NRA's approximately 5,000,000 members has carried out a school shooting. Nevertheless, you say.

Those 5,000,000 are among the most law abiding citizens in the country. Nevertheless, let's put the blame right where it belongs, on an organization and membership that didn't commit a single act.

Nevertheless what?

It's a stupid solicitation. It doesn't give a single reason to pay the membership fee.

If a person can already get all the guns a person wants to, to do whatever the person wants to do with those guns without paying the NRA membership fee, why pay the fee?

Just get the guns.

It's like a sex club trying to sell memberships at an orgy.

Hmmm...this is kind of an absolutist statement in and of itself.

Nevertheless, the NRA represents the wishes of an oppressed minority.

Can't we all see everyone is out to take their guns?

Can't we all see everyone is out to take their guns?

It's not that far-fetched

"During the “March for Our Lives” in Washington and cities around the country, attendees carried signs that read “F*ck your guns,” “You don’t need a gun,” “BAN” and more. Signs condemning the murderer in Florida were absent.

And finally, last week former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens went all in and declared the Second Amendment should be completely repealed in an op-ed for The New York Times. His piece was tweeted out and endorsed by Democratic National Committee Vice Chairwoman Karen Carter."​

EDIT: Gotta admit your profile pic made me laugh. I think Champ lives somewhere in the scrotum region.

The only politician to ever voice such a thing was Donald J. Trump, when he proposed taking guns from suspects w/o due process.

The sheer hypocrisy of that, is what the reaction to that was by the NRA, (*crickets*) vs how they would have, if Obama or Hillary Clinton had done so.

Hmmm...this is kind of an absolutist statement in and of itself.

Sure is. But I'm not out pandering for the people's money under the guise of some mislead belief that without the NRA we wouldn't have the freedom to carry guns.

Just because some whack jobs in a parade made a couple chants doesn't mean my guns are in jeopardy. When it's white nationalists holding rallies across the state the narrative is "Don't mind them they're just the minority". Liberals hold an anti gun rally and you're ready to empty your pockets to Wayne LaPierre and his giant scam.

Tell ya what. You go give Wayne some more cash so he can lobby Washington more and contribute to the 'swamp'. I'll spend my money on some ammunition. Hell, maybe I'll even buy that M1 I've had my eye on.

 

[Spartanmack]

Five years at a crack is the way to go. Great deal.

yeah, I'd have to live to 98 to break even on the lifetime membership. I've considered joining just because all these gun grabber idiots annoy me and I want to annoy them back but I don't own a gun and don't see myself getting one any time soon. But it is probably the most effective/efficient way to support the 2nd amendment so I may do it anyway.

 

[Michchamp]

Hmmm...this is kind of an absolutist statement in and of itself.

Oh no! An Absolutist statement.

Sure the NRA has attacked victims and survivors of mass shootings, pushed false statements and narratives that pollute our national discourse, and suppressed evidence and statistics they don't like, but who is he to say he would never give them a dime? That's the real problem here.

 

[Spartanmack]

I'm far more tolerant than a paid shrew who goes after schoolchildren for expressing their grief and sorrow over their classmates being slaughtered at school.

no, you're not even close to her in terms of tolerance.

 

[Michchamp]

... I've considered joining just because all these gun grabber idiots annoy me and I want to annoy them back...

Do it. put your money where your mouth is, tough guy. "annoy us back."

I want to grab guns.

 

[Michchamp]

no, you're not even close to her in terms of tolerance.

You're wrong. she's an awful person who has no shame. he's normal.

 

[biggunsbob]

The Nra is nothing but a Gop propaganda machine and I am so glad after 30+ years my father tore his card up. They are probably the one of biggest hate groups on the planet sprouting their fear and crap. Right up there with the Anti-American republican party. It is so funny all you Far right nitwits who think anyone is coming after your guns .. Groups like the Nra have way to much power which is a said state for America.

 

[Spartanmack]

Without even doing a google search, we all know this is wrong. both Obama and Hillary advocated for an Australian style program - which was a confiscation. Deerfield Illinois banned assault weapons and instituted a fine of up to $1,000/day if owners don't forfeit their guns. To say that the only politician to ever voice such a thing is categorically false.

It's legitimately delusional to think for a second that the NRA would have been silent about Trump confiscating guns without due process.

 

[Spartanmack]

You're wrong. she's an awful person who has no shame. he's normal.

He's a normal leftist which is to say he's hateful and intolerant, like you. she's a working mom who advocates for our 2nd amendment rights without engaging in ad hominem despite people like you two who actually have the balls to insult or worse, threaten her and her family to her face. You sissies probably don't even have the stones to insult her on her twitter feed, it's easier to do it on a chat room where she can't humiliate you for your stupidity.

 

[Spartanmack]

ooh, tough guy eh? good one from the guy who says he was forced to move to Texas when he couldn't compete for a decent job as a contract lawyer in the 3rd biggest city in the country. You're so pathetic.
