There are millions and millions of gun owners who are not members of the NRA for the reason that the NRA has become too political since going back probably 30 years. I have friends who break out their shotguns a few times in the winter to go Upland Game and put their guns back in their gun case waiting for the next year. A lot of the hard core gun owners who are NRA Members simply live in fear...
What do you smoke?

I wonder if anyone has ever acted after listening to the song Cop Killer by Ice-T, who supported Obama? Would that make it the democrats' fault?

Grassroots Politics Examiner: Did "We Surround Them-Stormfront" rhetoric lead to Pittsburgh police killings?

"The killer believed lock, stock and barrel that the extreme rhetoric employed by the right wing and yes, Republican talk radio/celebrity cabal was a call to arms."

"Um," the Nazi Party was not right or left.

So I suppose this claim that the right was responsible for this heinous crime is false? It would appear to be so due to your wiki argument.

BTW, Nazism was a Socialist movement (left wing). Your article does not address Nazism, it pertains to another sect entirely.

I do give you credit for a nice try to deflect the argument in another direction, however.

70 year old politics are not anywhere near the same as today.
Just the availability of media changes that.

So cute.
No one is forced to attend public school, you can homeschool.
You might be interested to know that the US is not a democratic government.
It is a Federal Republic.

You might want to try that school thing. Can't hurt, might help.

Hitler added some Left Wing words to his Party name as he encorporated more and more of the hundreds of splinter parties that characterized Wiemar Germany, but he was no more a Socialist than the Pope. You'll note that besides "Socialist" and "Workers" (terms of endearment to the Left) he also used "National" and "German" offering the flag for the Right Wingers to towel off with as they so love to do. President Hindenburg reluctantly brought his strongly Nationalistic following into a coalition to end a year long stalemate at the polls. Hitler wooed the Right with his attacks on the radical Left, particularly the Communists and the Trade Unions. His chief ally Mussolini is Generally credited with coining the term "fascist", epitomizing Nationalistic (as well as anti-Communist) ideals.
