To certain people, the NRA is the Muslim Brotherhood.....

A purportedly evil group supposedly bent on a holy war to take over governments, and denounced with overwrought language by American

political types who aren't quite in the mainstream any longer....

Yup.

3. It's like being a Catholic with a conscience. You know the Church is corrupt....

...but it's still the only one for you. The NRA needs a Martin Luther.

4. ...whose opponents (in some cases) are also paranoid assholes.

Edited on Mon Feb-14-11 02:55 AM by friendly_iconoclast

The NRA and its haters have demonstrated the truth of the saying: We become what we hate.

For real 190 proof RW nuttery, look past the NRA at the Gun Owners of America. They are definitely a bunch of paranoid

assholes!

5. I figured that out in about 1988 --

when I "gave up" the lifetime membership my dad bought for me when I turned 18.

Yeah, I am that good with a gun. Yeah, I like to hunt but only for food.

Yeah, the NRA is FUCKING NUTS.

17. I like the hunting, the woods, and the cooking parts -

the killing is, unfortunately for us carnivores, necessary to get "decent" meat (I prefer moose) into the freezer.

I leave the cleaning and packaging, however, to those with stronger stomachs than mine!

15. That would make GOA Viktor Bout, wouldn't it?

The NRA is remarkably inefficient at causing death. They have four million or so members- how many have killed?

13. Only to outsiders, both orgs are not fundie enough for some.

The Muslim Brotherhood has Al Queda- the NRA has Gun Owners of America

Suppress your gag reflex and look up GOA online. They hate the NRA with a passion.

16. Familiar with them and you're right. Several posters here fit the GOA

profile perfectly. We all know who they are. They should just own it and stop trying to justify their messianic tendencies.

12. Most NRA hate here is pure bigotry against gun owners

In pro gun forums the NRA hate mongering is because they think the NRA is not aggressive enough.
