The NRA speaks

[sarisataka]

As the nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization, the NRA proudly supports the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms for defense of themselves and others regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation.

The reports from Minnesota are troubling and must be thoroughly investigated. In the meantime, it is important for the NRA not to comment while the investigation is ongoing.

Rest assured, the NRA will have more to say once all the facts are known.

1. The NRA is a civil rights organization? Are they that far gone into their RWing, master delusion?

The NRA is mostly composed of RWing assholes that love guns more then they do innocent lives! They are a hate group run by the worst RWing crap stains on the planet.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. yeah, they and KKK are for civil rights, for the "right" and "light" kind of people.

[SoCalNative]

2. Yeah

they don't have much to say now..but they've had plenty to say in the past, long before "all the facts" were known.

[misterhighwasted]

3. ..", it is important for the NRA not to comment"

Too busy watching their stock rise.

[tblue37]

17. And yet they blab away in every other sort of case. nt

4. "for defense of themselves"

Is that what they call the Dallas attack? Who was the Dallas shooter running from? Who was attacking him? He was defending himself from exactly, what?

5. As the nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization,

" the NRA proudly supports the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms for defense of themselves and others regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation.

'See, no problem. Anybody can shoot anybody, we don't care.'

Somehow, I would much prefer everybody have a violin instead of a gun, regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation.

6. Since went I ask.

What a piece of plain Bull Sh*t

[aikoaiko]

7. That's pretty rare for them to comment on something like this.

8. look how many members are cops/law enforcement

Back in 1980 when I worked for my local PD and I was an NRA member.
Its just what you did.
They had better walk VERY carefully on this one. White cops dead?
Id love to be a fly on the wall in those meetings.

9. Screw those racist white wingers if they think they are a civil rights organization.

10. *Anyone* who judges someone else solely because of skin color is a racist

Sadly, there are a few here at DU. The disinterested reader is invited to PM for some
links to their racist posts.

11. Any organization with people like Ted Nugent on the Board is a racist organization.

[friendly_iconoclast]

12. Any person who judges the validity of an act on the skin color of the actor is a racist.

Would you like me to provide the readers of this some examples of such a person?

[Hoyt]

14. You are a gun supporter/promoter. That's all I need to know.

[friendly_iconoclast]

15. "That's all I need to know." I note you dodged the question

As an aside, I'll merely repeat what I recently posted in another thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7992326

This is a subject in which the ignorant are often proud of their ignorance

[Hoyt]

18. Just fed up with gun support/promotion/BS.

[friendly_iconoclast]

19. I have no problem with that so long as you promise to...

...desegregate your photo collection and stop ascribing ulterior motives to white gun
owners solely due to their lack of melanin.

BTW: For the benefit of those reading this, I have long shared my interlocutor's
visceral dislike of the NRA.

And people say there's no common ground!

[Cali_Democrat]

13. As if the NRA has never commented on an ongoing investigation.

LOL.

They are a joke.

[etherealtruth]

16. Largest right wing hate group .... has to be what they meant to say n/t
