The NRA is sinking.

[someoneyouknow]

The NRA claims it's running out of money, poor babies.

Surely its Russian sponsors can just send more cash.

How convenient they may no longer exist just as the investigation of illegal activities is picking up. Sounds a lot like the con artist who wanted to shut his "foundation" down but New York wouldn't let him because of their criminal investigation into its goings on.

In May 1967, two dozen Black Panther Party members walked into the California Statehouse carrying rifles to protest a gun-control bill, prompting then-Gov. Ronald Reagan to comment, “There’s no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.”​

Audit shows NRA Rapidly Losing Members And Money As Gun Sales Drop

First two-year decline in revenue in over ten years.

Revenue from dues fell from $163 million in 2016 to $128 million last year. Membership dues also dipped in 2016 compared to 2015, marking the first time in nearly a decade that the group suffered back-to-back years of declines.

For years, the NRA has boasted that it has 5 million members. But that claim has never been independently verified.

The gun industry, which the NRA represents, is also suffering huge sales losses in the Trump era. Traditionally, gun sales soar when there is a Democrat in the White House because the NRA and its allies in the right-wing press gin up hysteria about gun ownership being outlawed.

But without that artificial panic, gun sales have plummeted.

My beta male bitch Queerbait will be along shortly to assure everyone that membership is actually UP at the NRA, that ignorance is strength, and that we have always been at war with East Asia.

I'm sure that the Russian mafia would be happy to send more money.

President Trump had this to say today:

"Nations of the world have long recognized that certain weapons are so dangerous, and can inflict so much suffering, that all of us have a vital interest in preventing their further development, spread and use."

Hear, hear.

Thanks for bumping the thread, reminded me to go give the NRA some money

^^^Your Federal "disability" dollars at work, folks.

 

[Kirkrapine]

All NRA and GOA members need to acknowledge the following facts before they open their mouths again:

1. Guns are politically useless. You cannot use them to fight the government with any hope of success at all.

2. No one but a collector really needs more than one or two firearms.

3. No civilian has any legitimate use whatsoever for an automatic or semi-automatic rifle.

4. The actual purpose of the Second Amendment was to facilitate a militia-based defense policy, which is completely dated and irrelevant now; nor was the militia ever conceived as a countervailing force against the state rather than an arm of the state.

5. Yes, guns do kill people, in the same sense that motor vehicles get into accidents and pollute the air.

^^ Rob making shit up again.

1. Guns are politically useless. You cannot use them to fight the government with any hope of success at all.

Then there is no need to ban them right?

And the Vietnamese/Afghani/Iraqi people did pretty fucking well all things considered and 99% of them had garbage ass armament compared to our civilians.

2. No one but a collector really needs more than one or two firearms.

According to who? And so what? What's wrong with having 30?

3. No civilian has any legitimate use whatsoever for an automatic or semi-automatic rifle.

Sure they do, recreation, self defense and hunting.

4. The actual purpose of the Second Amendment was to facilitate a militia-based defense policy, which is completely dated and irrelevant now;

Yes it was and no it's not, not anymore than satellite GPS has made magnetic compass and paper maps irrelevant.

nor was the militia ever conceived as a countervailing force against the state rather than an arm of the state.

Yes it was, if the state violated the Constitution it is the sworn obligation of every federal law enforcement officer and military service-member to do exactly that.

5. Yes, guns do kill people, in the same sense that motor vehicles get into accidents and pollute the air.

Same way vehicles kill people.

My car goes precisely where I point it. Do your bullets?

 

[Kirkrapine]

Even semi-auto is much more firepower than you need for any of those things.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Yup.

Even semi-auto is much more firepower than you need for any of those things.

Says who?

Says who?

Either the deer or the burglar you've got cornered; he knows one round is enough.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Ok so nobody of any importance or authority on the subject.

Because a lot of times one round is not enough....you watch to much TV.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration Tuesday banned bump stocks, the firearm attachments that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire like machine guns and were used during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

The regulation gives gun owners until late March to turn in or destroy the devices. After that, it will be illegal to possess them under the same federal laws that prohibit machine guns.

The regulation was signed Tuesday by Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker. It will take effect 90 days after it is published in the Federal Register, which is expected to happen Friday.

Bump stock owners will be required to either destroy them or surrender them to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a senior Justice Department official said.

“We are disappointed” said NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker.

Why is the NRA so upset about the bump stock ban? All of the NRA members here swear it means nothing. One of these groups is lying.

Bullets go precisely where the gun is pointed. Especially so with rifles, so named for the rifling of the barrel which encourages that. Pointing bullets, not encased in a cartridges, that in turn is chambered in a gun doesn't really influence their destination.

How accurate is your car?

How accurate? Three significant digits, that’s how accurate.

On what scale?

...and what is a "significant digit?"

 

[RobDownSouth]

On what scale?

Drop your trousers. Look between your legs. THAT is an "insignificant digit".

Now go over to Pornhub. Pull up a random video. THAT is a "significant digit".

Hope this example clears things up.

 

[Luk]

I couldn't care less about bump stocks, I only own bolt action rifles or single shots and only use them for target shooting or hunting. I do own more than two or three and bullets going where I intend is kind of the point.

Got it. So you agree with me and think the NRA is lying to you.

 

[Que]

Fingers=apendages=digits

Penii=apendages=/=digits

There is no transitive property of vocabulary words.

I can understand your confusion though because we've all seen your tiny bloody penis and it could well be described as a "fingerling."

Because it's fucking retarded.....it doesn't you can bump fire off your belt loop or in your own shoulder pocket with about 2 min or practice.

Got it. So you agree with me and think the NRA is lying to you.

Wow look at Luk go hard again with the dishonest ascription.

The only liar around her is you Luk.
