Right. Just more proof the anti gunners have zero clue. They chastise the NRA , but there are several other very large organizations that are out there that are very hardline compared to the NRA.

Darn those people and their voluntary contributions to people you disagree with!
You should save your ire for politicians who make a very comfortable ($$$) living funded with money taken by force (and using guns no less to do it).
Some of you are very confused.

I've never owned a gun before, but it seems like it's time to buy one or two or ten.

Now, all I have to do is find out which end goes bang.

Carry on.

When they see fascists and Nazis trying to turn our children into mindless goose stepping zombies, they get concerned. No way would I give up my gun because they demanded it. My father fought the Nazis in WW2 and I'll do it here if necessary.

The NRA gets their funds from individual members, and donors, NOT gun manufacturers, and by a wide margin. It is a true grass root organization as opposed to:

Act Blue
Media Matters
SEIU
AFT
NEA
AFSCME
Electrical workers Unions
Other Public Sector Unions

This is not surprising...I'd be interested to see recent guns sales (especially AR-15s)
It's just the same three percent that own more than half the guns already, increasing their stash. Ordinary Americans aren't rushing out to buy more weapons of mass destruction, just the usual terrified gun fanatics. Because you know, 17 guns is not enough for anybody.

Keep in mind, even during the American Revolution, there were PLENTY of american colonists that actually sided with England, The American patriots were terrorists in their opinion.

If tough new gun laws ever became reality, and it led to an uprising or revolution, im positive MANY MANY people would side with Govt/ LE.

This.

Links (of non-sellout 2A advocacy orgs):

Gun Owners of America

National Association for Gun Rights

Second Amendment Foundation (SAF)

Each and every one markedly better than the NRA.
