Sorry to be so blunt, but after feeling deep sadness over the shooting deaths at the Jewish Community Center in Kansas City that included a 14 year old boy and his grandfather, that was the thought that came into my head.
I hate the National Rifle Association and all it stands for.
I don’t hate the people in it, but I hate the NRA as an organization. Guns, guns, guns is all it knows.
Anybody who believes the NRA is all about protecting second amendment rights is living in fantasy land.
The NRA is an arm of gun manufacturers whose sole purpose is to put as many guns as possible into the hands of as many people as possible, including young kids and people like Frazier Glenn Cross who did the KC shooting.
This is not an organization our nation needs.
The NRA is a menace to our society because it now represents the views of right wing conservatives who pretend like gun ownership is being threatened by common sense gun control laws.
What malarkey!
Propaganda is the air the NRA and its supporters breathe.
What is truly baffling is how NRA leaders can talk in ways that insult most people’s intelligence and get away with it.
“The only answer to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” NRA chief Wayne LaPierre intoned after the Newtown School slayings.
There’s an idea. Let’s arm everybody so we can return to the days of the O.K. Corral shootout with good guys with guns blasting away at bad guys with guns.
How utterly absurd and childish.
Ah, but maybe that’s the key to understanding how a group with a nationwide membership of only four million people can have such political influence.
It appeals to Americans who believe in the absurd and act like they are still children.
If there ever was a use for the NRA, that day is gone.
It needs to be gone. Period.
The only answer to a bad organization continuing to exist is for people who believe in good organizations to stop supporting it or listening to anything it ever has to say again.
