I am a member but some times I think the NRA is lead by a cabal of terrorists. I know it is impossible for alternate views to be aired by the membership.
Par for course for the Russia funded NRA.
So…shouldn’t the NRA be calling for programs to arm teachers with fake guns?
If you believe this, then resign your membership. Each member’s dues and the numbers on their rolls enable the NRA’s repugnant behavior.
Whatever benefits you derive from membership can be attained in some other way.
How are these people treated with any less disdain than Holocaust deniers?
ron is a stand up TPMer. I would love to see his response to that.
Hey, Butina has a day in court today doesn’t she?
These people are emotional vampires who feed on the pain of others in order to attract attention. They are beneath contempt.
So the legal case against Alex Jones may be the thing that takes down the NRA? Just trying to keep a little taper of hope burning.
Is there any organization in this country more wong-headed, corrupt, and evil than the NRA? Just asking a legitimate question for about 300 million friends.
If it keeps bringing out evidence such as this, yes - along with exposure of how it was used as a vehicle for Russian manipulation - might make it disgustingly toxic. Then again, it already is that toxic. So ~throws arms up~.
Your money supports the "cabal of terrorists. You are a terrorist.
Richardson told HuffPost that he was asking a “legitimate question.”
There has to be a way to guard against this “just asking questions here” stance that allows trolls to hijack so much of our legitimate public discourse while posing as champions of free speech. These hoaxers have made life a living hell for families of mass shooting survivors. This rhetorical pose, meanwhile, is the same trick that anti-vaxxers use, and as someone else has alluded to, it’s essentially what holocaust deniers do. But is there any effective way to subvert it? I’m genuinely curious.
Richardson told HuffPost that he was asking a “legitimate question.”
Silly me - I expected the NRA to deny the story.
In another few years, the gun-humpers will start calling mass shootings a “positive good”.
Just “sometimes”???
We were too. Members for decades. They taught all our kids gun safety at the local Rod and Gun Club. However, we all resigned en masse when Wayne and his buddies started their crap.
C’mon. Stop.
About the best we can do is follow on the model of naming/shaming/hounding their workplaces about their employment, lobby internet hosts to cut off their platforms, and basically drive them out of the public arena. Lawsuits like this also help.
There’s Freedom of Speech, but not Freedom from Consequences.
I am a competitive shooter and membership in the NRA is required by the governing organization. If I want to compete I have to join.
