I own guns. But I hate the NRA.

[501st]

Yet another brilliant article on the evils of the NRA.

I didn't need to read any further....

..past the writer's picture.


"Letting the organization pretend otherwise hurts the millions of gun owners who support some form of gun control".

"David Fellerath is a freelance writer, hunter and community organizer".

Rather than being our American birthright, gun ownership should be a privilege earned after thorough examination and training, like driving a car. But in 21st-century America, arms-bearing is an inalienable right, thanks to 27 anachronistic words of a constitution ratified in an 18th-century world of slow-loading muskets.

Wow, he hits all the stereotypical progressive liberal talking points in two sentences. Impressive.

(Okay, not all of them. He forgot to think of the children, or to justify the position because possibly saving just one life is worth it.)

 

[Seagrave1963]

same old melodramatic rhetoric and hyperbole.

 

[44man]

just more made up libtard bs. I started reading but it makes me sick to read stuff that stupid.

OP,

So you hate the NRA? No problem support someone else: Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of America, or even a local group.

Muskets.


Then the 1A doesn't cover e-mail, TV or radio, right?

 

[lx1x]

Ah the elite hunter who doesn't know that nra also help his hunting privileges.

Hate them hypocrites.

 

[ortoch]

wow this guy is a winner I really love his Duck Dynasty article photo though makes him look very manly

I've run across the "The 2A was written in a time of muskets therefore only muskets should be protected under 2A" many times.

My counter argument is that muskets represented parity with what was being used by the military at the time. Therefore the 2A should work likewise today, just like the 1A does with internet etc...

 

[Boom Boom]

Carefully-crafted anti-2A rhetoric, care of WaPo. Targeted at the ignorant masses who can't be bothered with critical thinking.

I didn't have to read past www.washingtonpost

 

[Uncle Duke]

Typical Compost piece. Clear from the article that this author would struggle to hunt his backside with his hand.

 

[MigraineMan]

It gets better. Check out his LinkedIn profile:
- Alternative Weekly Journalism (I think that means writing a blog while unemployed)
- Started community soccer company in January 2015
- Published articles in Al Jazeera America, Slate, indieWIRE
- Many jobs covering local sports and cultural events
- BA in History from Columbia University

Yep, that there is a credentialed resume of an experienced hunter, a constitutional scholar, and an expert in foreign relations. Hell, if President Obama had a twin brother ...

I can't understand how he can eat at all being born with two anus's.

 

[MDFF2008]

When he says he owns guns, he prob means a Brown Bess musket.

I guess that would be a "BB" gun he uses to hunt mice.
