Well, the NRA is at least partially responsible for perpetuating an unhealthy gun culture in the USA that is responsible for thousands of deaths every year. There's plenty to fear and hate about that.

- cobrausn 13y agoI'll take the bait. The NRA is reacting to any mention of gun control from the left the same way the left reacts to any mention of abortion restrictions from the right - don't believe anything they say, because they are trying for victory by inches. And considering some of the rhetoric flying around, they probably should (both sides).
- angersock 13y agoEh, they're no more responsible than the USDA is responsible for unhealthy food or the oil and gas lobby is for pollution or the AMA is for cartel behavior on the supply of doctors. (and in all of those cases, the death tolls are higher.) It's easy for people (especially certain middle-to-high income bracket liberal demographics) to give a pass on hating NRA/rednecks/religious folks while at the same time remaining indignant about what is an issue effecting a small subset of the population. Moreover, while there are very valid arguments to be made in support of gay rights (usually by way of personal liberty, freedom of association, privacy, etc.), you really need to be willing to apply them to folks you don't like.
