Anti-NRA article

[kidicarus13]

Maybe you guys/gals come across these type of articles often but I do not so when I do I read them. I enjoy getting to know the enemy and reading articles like this help me attempt to understand the enemy. A few interesting quotes:

http://www.theglobalist.com/the-nra-...s-cosa-nostra/

Truth be told, nobody in the United States is afraid of the Soviet Union anymore — but virtually everybody in power is deadly afraid of the NRA — the National Rifle Association. It acts as the ruthless countrywide enforcer of gun libertinism, the perverse and irresponsible, completely self-absorbed love of guns.

The common denominator in all of them is less “did we miss the signs?” on this particular, isolated individual — often a domestic attack — and more about the rampant access to guns and a powerful “movement” that fetishizes killing instruments.

Of course the U.S. media are not the only ones studiously careful to avoid the issue. So are U.S. Democrats. They are similarly avoiding the issue. Why? Because they believe that taking the only ethically and morally correct stance — to ban most hand guns — keeps them from winning elections.

The same applies in the United States today. The NRA is as pervasive and destructive a cancer on American society as la cosa nostra is on Italy’s.
And all people of moral rectitude ought to stand up to defeat this monster. Failing that, Americans will have to realize that what they perceive as their innate sense of moral righteousness really is a twisted case of self-righteousness that nobody else in the civilized world is able to follow.



Just what'd I'd expect from the liberal left.

Hey, libtards ... you damn well BETTER fear the NRA because the NRA IS THE PEOPLE.

Schmucks.

Stopped reading right here: "It acts as the ruthless countrywide enforcer of gun libertinism, the perverse and irresponsible, completely self-absorbed love of guns."


Note: if you want your journalism to be taken seriously, at least pretend that you're looking at things from the outside. I can't even call this yellow journalism, it's just the personal ramblings of an angry person.

"Completely self-absorbed love of guns." I know this feeling when I hit a prairie dog sized plate at 500 meters.

To me, this quote shows the stupidity of their arguement:

"Of course the U.S. media are not the only ones studiously careful to avoid the issue. So are U.S. Democrats. They are similarly avoiding the issue. Why? Because they believe that taking the only ethically and morally correct stance — to ban most hand guns — keeps them from winning elections."


Elected officials are elected by the people for the people. Why would you elect someone that will ban something you don't want banned? Claiming the democrats are scared to ban guns because they won't get elected means the majority of people don't want them banned. That how a democracy works, right? Sounds like they want a dictator not representatives...
