Of course they did. Can’t have people believing they might be sane for more than 24 hours now, can we?

So let me get this straight. The NRA is apologizing for saying that carrying assault rifles into Chipotle is weird?
I get it. The NRA is a trade group for people who make and sell assault weapons (among other things). But if you DON’T think bringing assault weapons into Chipotle, in order to intimidate other people with your right to do so, is weird, then aren’t you awfully damn weird?
Or is there something I’m missing? Because Chipotle and a lot of other restaurants are indeed saying this behavior is extremely weird, and shouldn’t exist. But now the NRA is apologizing to those who did this, saying it’s just a “tactical” issue?
I’ve heard of nuclear weapons called tactical before. In terms of eating a burrito in a Chipotle, an AR-15 walking right up to you in the arms of some fat-assed asshole is a nuclear weapon.
But it’s “not” weird? OK, then.
The NRA has now officially jumped the shark. It would be nice to think that Wayne LaPierre grows up into as nice a guy as Henry Winkler, but somehow I don’t think that’s how his story ends.

“Freaky gun nuts who insist on open carrying assault rifles into neighborhood restaurants are wierd and breed with mooses.”
NRA: “We apologise for the fault in the organizational messaging. Those responsible have been sacked.”
“Mynd you, møøse breeding Kan be pretti nasti…”
NRA: “We apologise again for the fault in the messaging. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.”

Can’t have it both ways.
Again, who cares about this spat? Two crazy groups fussing with a fence post regardless of which way the wind blows public opinion.
The trade group representing distillers feels obliged to recommend drinking responsibly. The trade group representing automakers doesn’t support the “right” to drive at 150 mph down a residential street.

Guns are no substitute for a spine or balls. Pfft.

Kudos to yesterday’s commenter that the NRA would be issuing an apology within 24 hours. I’ll bet there was even time left on the clock. Pathetic!

Drink yourself to death and they lose a customer. Drive at 150MPH down a residential street and they lose a customer.
Some inbred jerkoff shoots someone over a pool game in a Georgia bar and the gun manufacturers haven’t lost a customer.

Well, THAT didnt take long
Oh, thank God, what a relief. I’m headed right to the nearest Chipotle with my arsenal of AR-15s (“Baby Killers”), a rocket launcher and a few grenades.

Fine. But gun-totin’ assholes will still not be allowed in places that have banned them.
More to follow, hopefully.

In a perfect world, these whack jobs would refuse to leave their guns at home, and the restaurants would deny them admission. We’d all be a lot safer without Old Tex standing there with his itchy trigger finger, waiting for the waitress to put the wrong condiments on his burger so he can start defending himself.

Every gun nut in America just had their rosette smooched by the NRA.

We apologize for calling you weird for carrying an AK 47 into a Chipotle.
We meant to say dangerous, ridiculous, inbred, nonsensical, craven and disgusting. We should have said it was a pathetic attempt to assert a perverted image of masculinity which only emphasized how far from true manliness you are. We meant to denounce the action in the stongest possible terms.
We meant to. . .
