Ain’t No Party Like An NRA Party

‘Cause At An NRA Party People Wave Guns Around Like A Bunch Of Jackasses, And Other Gun News

Over the weekend the National Rifle Association held its annual Gun Fetishization and Circle Jerk for Dim-Bulb Paranoids. The lucky host city was Indianapolis, which saw itself invaded by 70,000 armed lunatics for three days of strutting jingoism and fear-mongering. Ghoulish death-head Wayne LaPierre showed up to give the very same speech that he gave at CPAC last month, which seems appropriate, since the NRA convention is basically CPAC with weaponry. Towards the end of the speech, LaPierre showed a television commercial that has to be seen to be believed (It starts at about 17:05 in the above video). As a bonus, it stars Wonkette favorite Mr. Colion Noir, who we are sad to see has yet to find a director who can get him to tone down the overly dramatic line readings.

Did you feel it? Do you believe in America again?

After LaPierre, the usual band of shitwitted politicians took to the podium to pander to this armed band of donkey-fucking nut bags. Mitch McConnell popped by, though apparently he left the Revolutionary War musket he showed off at CPAC at home. Quite a few of the potential losers to Hillary Clinton in 2016 made speeches, including Mike Pence, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal, because when you think of manly gun-toting tough guys, you definitely think of the Hindu version of Kenneth the Page.

The greatest speech of the weekend belonged to Sarah Palin, the Dipshit of Denali herself, who popped by to tell everyone that if she were in charge, “waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.” Remembering that she is not in fact in charge of anything, sphincters across the country immediately unclenched.

Favorite group: Gun Control & RKBA, 493 posts in the last 90 days (64% of total posts)


Good job, 64 % in your favorite group

The NRA started off good many years ago with gun safety and has since gone off the deep end. It does look like in another of your drive by cut and paste posts they are now actually working with gun control organizations for some safety issues.

those gun fanciers who say they have abandoned the NRA should start another group from among the millions of supposedly fine, law-abiding, gun owners across our country. I doubt much would change, that "new" group would be promoting more guns in more places, stand your ground laws, etc. I think the NRA represents the majority of gun owners, particularly those into assault style weapons, toting, etc.

That's one of the problems with folks carrying guns in public.

This bully of a man, who indignantly told me I had no right to be out in front of Grocery Outlet.

What a creepy guy. All bluster and arrogance.

When I mentioned the US Constitution, and how the February 2014 decision in the Mendocino Calif. courts states that the activists and others have the fully inherent right to treat strip malls like the Public Commons, he said, "Don't you talk about the Constitution to me, Lady. I am a proud member of the NRA."

All these people want is their guns. That is it. Period. They could care less about freedom of speech, ending the drug wars, etc.

How to discuss gun politics with grabbers. The Linuxman method.


Step one: Mention "NRA"

Step two: Watch grabbers work selves into a froth

Step three: Listen to accusations of "Gun waving" and psychosis from rights-abolitionists with veins popping out of their foreheads. Snap fingers to the groovy beat of "Blood in the streets!" and other well worn favorites.

Step four: Enjoy responsible gun ownership and revel in the stress induced hemorrhoids of the one accusing you of pre-crimes.


I swear, it seems that most of the craziness involving guns is coming from the pro-control side these days. If I could find a way to load my guns with sour grapes and oblivious irony I'd shave my ammo budget down to nothing!

Same old song and dance, new day of ever increasingly liberal gun laws.

I live here a in Indy, and a perfectly good spring weekend was ruined by having to take measures to avoid 70,000 gun nuts all in one place. I'm just glad they're gone, and I hope they don't come back.

I mean, have you seen all the reports of the people shot and killed from that gathering of psychos?

Oh wait, nobody has?

Shit.

Must be an NRA coverup. Yep, that's it.

And to think, the antis are the ones accusing the gun owners if being afraid to leave their homes.

I had a wonderful weekend at the range, completely surrounded by armed men and women. Don't worry. I'm sure we had enough fun between us to make up for your self imposed grounding.
