That IS why we have the Second Amendment, and it would be hard to find a better case of systematic Big Government oppression than Baltimore. Read the facts of Baltimore here >> https://www.themarshallproject.org/2015/04/29/david-simon-on-baltimore-s-anguish Let's see what side the NRA suits up for.... Police violating civil rights and who are calling for gun control.... Or real Americans being oppressed by big government that violates civil rights with impunity.

But I am compelled to point out some corrections.<br /><br />The NRA has but one job - to ensure the second amdmt. is not infringed for EVERY citizen. They welcome all races and sexes as members. That's more $$. Theirs is not to take up against unjust causes which don't relate to their solitary reason for existence. Hell, you could rail against them for not decrying landmines, ebola and cancer!<br /><br />Boy, Wayne LaPierre must have really left a stinky fart in your fresh air vent!<br /><br />And the Founding Fathers feared an overbearing CENTRAL GOVT. not a police state. Local police matters are the sole responsibility of the local or at best, the state government. <br /><br />It's the United 'STATES' of America, not plain ol' 'AMERICA'.<br /><br />Good day and thanks for the chuckles...5stringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687256047528201444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-65265643967637665732015-04-28T20:21:45.408-04:002015-04-28T20:21:45.408-04:00I support the NRA because they are effective in st...I support the NRA because they are effective in stopping a lot of government idiocy. You may think you know your "average NRA member" and you may even be right about their type of thinking but that doesn't change reality- the fact is that blacks and Hispanics are FAR FAR FAR more likely to get killed by each other than by cops or society or racism or The Man. The police in our country are out of control and basically operate as cowardly bullies- the blue-clad hide of the cop is the most precious thing on earth. That still doesn't alter the fact that if "Black Lives Matter" black people would care more about the mayhem they bring on themselves. That is never talked about- especially in a place like here in Oakland. And the reality is that gun control laws affect only law-abiding citizens- so 90 +% of criminal gun mayhem is unaffected by the law. Criminals don't obey the law. In my town of Oakland these facts are stark- yet the only thing our city leaders and the Yuppie-scum who live here (and actually vote) think will solve so-called gun violence is more laws. The 94% of gunshot victims here who are young people of color will not be helped an IOTA by me having to register my gun with the Oakland City Council or by my being unable to buy ammo online. It's like trying to stop drunk driving by having teatotalling Mormons and Muslims fill out special forms and pay special fees and take special driving tests. So the NRA has a murky history- I don't care- our country is so far around the bend morally that I admire their present stand on the Second Amendment.Jeff T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01520811975339950553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-14133291499614632812015-04-28T18:23:12.793-04:002015-04-28T18:23:12.793-04:00Bad times.
