NRA is the biggest gun saleman. They did this with Obama, and with Clinton, tricked everyone into buying more guns NOW, before it's too late. Last I checked, neither Clinton or Obama banned gun ownership.

It does not bother me that much, but I think it's kinda funny, the NRA uses their own supporters as pawns. Now that I typed it, it seems very much like Trump, bilking his supporters out of millions of donations, only to pocket the money for his own personal defense. How do you all not see you are being manipulated. 2a is not going away, and Trump is not coming back. Anyone donating money to the contrary is being scammed.

They are looking to over throw the US government and want arms to do it. Gun people already have stock piles. So most of the surge is on the leftist animals.
So, you're a supporter of 2nd Amendment rights, but also livid that the "leftist animals" are buying all the ammo? 2nd Amendment is for all.

Ammo has sky rocketed because of public demand, as supply and demand would predict. That's the free market for you.

Back to work...they can't even keep up. It is definitely one of the few positive outcomes of Democratic control.

That's laughable. The NRA is filled with a bunch of Fudds. Membership has been in decline for years, I think it was close to a 40% drop in 2019.
Find some other boogieman to blame, because it isn't the NRA.

They are dying(no pun) to disarm citizens.
That’s the bottom line. They don’t care about us, they care about them, they want us disarmed. For the millions of guns out there, yes millions of guns, how many are actually used to commit crimes? Exactly. May seem like everyone with a gun is out murdering and robbing when you watch the news, but it’s actually a tiny percentage.
And again, for barf inducing millionth time, banning guns will NOT stop people from getting them. And if they can’t get one, it won’t stop them from committing a crime. They’ll use a knife, a machete, a baseball bat, homemade explosive device, a cast iron frying pan, whatever. The banning would never end.

Of course they are. While I may not support the issue, every Democratic administration in the last 30 years has pushed a gun control agenda.

BLAH BLAH BLAH....

Trump pushed gun control agenda.

BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Not surprising in the least, but the irony is that liberals in riot torn cities bought guns last year, many for the first time. I'm guessing though that they will willing submit to registration and restrictions because it's coming from "their own kind."

That statement really cracked me up.
I still can't quit laughing at that statement. It's just plumb daffy. I don't know a single shooter (and I know a BUNCH) that doesn't have more than one firearm over 50 years old. Sheesh, 50 years is only back to 1969. I was born in 64 and I have one piece that's plenty shootable should I choose to that's 130 years old. One that's 99 and another that's 80. Those both are still slaying rodents and putting rounds through the bull on paper. The 1922 550-1 Remington 22 has been passed to my granddaughter and originally belonged to my great grandfather. My grandfather used it to feed my grandmother and he on their trek West during the Dust Bowl and for many years after.

Its had a LOT of rounds put through it. I also can't get past how that clown just had to say that we shooters are Rambo wannabes and and fell into all the usual insults as to our character and intellect. Ah yes, these anti shooter types think their brains are sooooo. big. Yet they make statements as cold hard fact like the one you quoted here. And they look to guys like Biden as their leaders. THAT'S a guy to hold up as an example of their supreme intelligence aye?

They claim to be so anti aristocracy, yet see themselves as such. Cultured, educated, and oh so superior. Yet they can't even change a tire and fall to pieces if they forget their smartphone. They can't change a tire, yet they call the triple A guy an ape? Seems to me he's ahead of them on the curve. And they want to make it illegal for folks like us to own firearms when they can't handle anything sharper than the edge of a cellphone. Sheesh, they get all their meals from Boston Market or some such because they can't even boil water. LOL, yes I'm stereotyping. Just returning the favor. Turnabout being fair play as it is.

I do look forward to seeing any response that may be forthcoming from our friend here. But the lambasting that's been given the opinions he posted may preclude any relevant response. It is rather hard to bolster complete and utter failure that has been proven beyond doubt to be such. And we should let people like this lead us and follow without question? Fascinating Captain. And most illogical.

Background checks for gun purchases is definitely an 'infringement' on our rights!


Thankfully there are plenty of guns available out there without a BG check.
