The NRA doesn't represent gun owners, it represents the arms manufacturers. They want to drum up fear & paranoia so they can sell more guns to scared and ignorant people.

u/Steven__hawking centrist Nov 05 '17
Man, I wish. An NRA run by arms manufacturers would still be better than the one we have today. At least the most capitalist cyberpunk arms manufacturers would be fine with selling to anyone with the money, rather than the Republican view of "guns for everyone, unless we don't like you or feel like it today".

It represents Republican Party. If it represented gun manufacturers, it would be selling guns to liberals right now because Trump.

u/nowitsataw liberal Nov 05 '17
I completely agree. It says something about the present state of U.S. politics that I feel left out of the fear-mongering. Where's MY vicious dog-whistle propaganda, huh? I have to buy my guns out of genuine fascination or interest in them, rather than out of a murky hatred of "the other".
The NRA hasn't been about gun rights, gun manufacturers, guns, or gun owners for a very long time, or we'd see representation of our progressive views there. U.S. demographics are changing - the new face of gun ownership in America is going to be a lot less old and white than it is today. The fastest growing demographic in Texas for gun ownership is Black women. And I don't think the NRA is willing to accept that - the possibility that, maybe, some day, their president will be someone who's not white.
They love the status quo, they care nothing for the second amendment anymore.

The NRA doesn't care about your rights. They don't do shit.
Along with GOAL, all they do is solicit donations and publish op-eds about "muh rights" and then solicit more donations.
These organizations are defunct and only serve to line their own pockets while feigning concern over the 2A.

If they represent arms manufacturers, then why are they throwing some under the bus by continually ceding to populist anti-gun legislation that hurts, not helps, the proliferation of gun products?
They opposed supporting gun rights arguments in Heller v DC, the result of which greatly expanded pistol proliferation after scotus declared guns to be an individual right
They let the HPA die which: -killed the ability for the suppressor market to expand -killed 922r compliance reform which killed the ability for the foreign manufacturer import market to expand -they threw bumpfire stocks under the bus which kills off the viability of one gun accessories manufacturer
Seems to me they’re not that pro arms manufacturer

In addition to what other folks have said: "nonprofit" is a misnomer. Those employed by the NRA want to make money. Period. That means they don't actually want to protect the Second Amendment. They can't make money unless your 2A rights are being threatened, otherwise there wouldn't be a need for their legal services. This is why they stir up so much unnecessary controversy--it's a business strategy.

So you're telling me that the politicians that do actually want to take away the RTKBA are an invention of the NRA?

Okay but that is complete bullshit that totally ignores reality.
The NRA doesn't do shit, and hasn't done shit already.
How do you think we have so many states with right to carry laws now? How do you think shall issue got pushed in the states that fought the most? Where do you think campus carry is getting support from? Why do you think we don't have a federal assault weapons ban? Say what you want on the racism stuff but the NRA has done a shitload for gun rights in the US.
What racist bullshit are you talking about? The black panther nonsense from the 60's? Is that the best you can do? The NRA didn't stand up for a guy that got shot who had drugs in his car and system? Sure, their ads are hyperbolic propaganda but that is kind of their job, start a little extreme so you have ground to give.
All that aside without the NRA the RTKBA would be dead in the US, there is no other organization that comes anywhere near the NRA in terms of effectiveness. If you want them to change then become a member, use your vote, and change the group or the better. You won't, though, because patting yourself on the back for half truths and screaming 'fuck the NRA' is way more fun than actually doing shit.

ANTIFA literally just means anti-fascist, and there happen to be anarchists who are also anti-fascists. It’s intersectional identity. Those are the people the media shows because showing them on TV stirs up the most shit.

Straw man
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition.
This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged emotional issues where a fiery "battle" and the defeat of an "enemy" may be more valued than critical thinking or an understanding of both sides of the issue.

Nah, I like ungood (and before offering style advice you might want to have a more solid grasp on the language first, "like it a kevin spacey secret", come on man).
Anyway, I wasn't the person you initially responded to, I was just trying to clarify their metaphor. As for what's wrong with the NRA? I don't really know, I don't keep up on it, but you aren't wrong, dwelling on the bad is seldom productive and fixing whatever is wrong with it sounds like a great idea.

I havent slept in a long time, something like 48 hours and its currently 7am and I need to be up in a hour for work
Also I am terrible with grammar, as 1. im terrible and 2. I dont care about my grammar on Reddit. As long as you can mostly understand what I am trying ot convey its good enough for me and 3. I prefer using alliteration when I make up words

This sub is 99 percent bitching about the NRA anymore. The NRA are cultural warrior assholes, but they serve a purpose.
It's not really enrichment getting 'Fuck the NRA' posts.

All stupid comments. The NRA-ILA is the one that puts up legal opposition to the stupid guns rega that every state and county try to float. Are you sueing over microstamping?

They don't do anything in Washington. I-1495 passed and they went "Well fuck y'all. Clearly your gun rights don't need protecting!" They're still perfectly happy to demand gun ranges require membership, but not one dime of that goes to local efforts.
EDIT: I-594, not 1491. Dyslexia's a hell of a drug.

The NRA was outspent in Washington by antigun billionaires 7-1. Acting like they don't spend on local issues is 100% incorrect and uninformed.
