Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

- Be honest... the NRA suffer from serious castration anxiety... and are terrified of threats... Curly1918 5:49pm · 8/11/19
  - That is a little dramatic. It is more simple than that. NedoftheHill 8:13pm · 8/11/19
- “civil rights organization.” You understand its purpose, alright.NT Chris94 3:09pm · 8/11/19
  - I always thought a combination of the ACLU & NRA would make the perfrect civil rights organization. NedoftheHill 3:19pm · 8/11/19
    - Dont worry ACLU absolutism is also alive and well. Take Charlottesville. Frank L 9:58pm · 8/11/19
    - The NRA was not established to protect rights, Ned. Chris94 3:40pm · 8/11/19
      - I don't want to embarrass you, Chris, but you are outside your area of expertise on this. NedoftheHill 4:10pm · 8/11/19
        
        You’re simply wrong Chris94 6:02pm · 8/11/19
        
        I respect that you recognize your earlier post is wrong, so you changed. But, you're still wrong. NedoftheHill 8:16pm · 8/11/19
        
        Membership is irrelevant. It is a lobbying org for gun manufacturers.NT Chris94 8:34am · 8/12/19
        
        Membership, especially of that magnitude, makes all the difference. You are wrong, Chris.NT NedoftheHill 11:38am · 8/12/19
        
        It was initially a sportsman’s group. No lobbying and they didn’t give two shits about handguns. Frank L 5:47pm · 8/11/19
        
        And supported several kinds of gun control they oppose today.NT MAS 7:16pm · 8/11/19
        
        Yep. Now it’s essentially a group run by lawyers and lobbyists who take the most extreme positions. Frank L 7:27pm · 8/11/19
        
        Call it what you will. They do necessary work that many people don't appreciate. Like ACLU of old. NedoftheHill 8:19pm · 8/11/19
        
        And like the ACLU of old they often take extreme positions. The ACLU constantly fought even Frank L 9:11pm · 8/11/19

        Yep, my father had been a member since his childhood. iairishcheeks 6:14pm · 8/11/19
        
        AR's are the types of guns most protected by the 2nd Amendment. Others are secondary.NT NedoftheHill 8:25pm · 8/11/19

- Since when is the Second Amendment an unlimited right?NT conorlarkin 2:31pm · 8/11/19
  - You think constitutional rights can be limited based on popularity at any one point in time?!NT BaronVonZemo 7:22pm · 8/11/19
    - “Popularity” is the wrong term. The Supreme Court has relied on evolving social science. conorlarkin 8:00pm · 8/11/19
      - Surely you wouldn't use the limit on shouting fire in a theater to limit political speech? NedoftheHill 8:21pm · 8/11/19
        
        Are you seriously equating mass shootings via high capacity firearms with political speech? conorlarkin 8:27pm · 8/11/19
        
        Actually, that is what your side does: equate speech with violence. I'm not doing that. NedoftheHill 9:32pm · 8/11/19
        
        The US Supreme Court decides the boundaries of constitutional rights. conorlarkin 9:50pm · 8/11/19
        
        You miss my point. Intentionally I assume. But, you understand it, since you stopped arguing yours.NT NedoftheHill 10:48pm · 8/11/19
        
        My point is backed by Supreme Court case law. Your point is lost on even yourself.NT conorlarkin 5:24am · 8/12/19

  - Hmm. Perhaps since free speech was an unlimited right...and freedom of religion. Why ask me that?NT NedoftheHill 3:17pm · 8/11/19
- Exception being a woman's right to choose, eh Ned.NT ND521 2:22pm · 8/11/19
  - Conor is curious: Since when has any person's right to choose to act been an unlimited right? NedoftheHill 3:20pm · 8/11/19
- They are subject to regulation though and the mood in the nation is shifting. There will be more of Frank L 1:56pm · 8/11/19
  - I agree: The nature of gov't is to limit rights, & the gov't has almost infinite attempts to do so. NedoftheHill 2:03pm · 8/11/19
