I don't think I like the NRA. I am not sure why. I have only recently met people here on TOTV who are almost evangelistically into having guns. I am a conservative person in philosophy and I support everyone's second amendment rights, but when I read people posting about guns and my heart hears other stuff in their posts like meanness and hatred and disdain and arrogance, I just don't like it and don't really like them. AND I don't like the meanness and arrogance in some opposed to them too. That is where all of our troubles lie. Getting mad.
There are many who post here who have guns who are regular nice people but many who are not really nice inside. I sense it in some posts and sometimes feel that some people are really frightened and very not secure without a gun.
There are many areas of the country that need guns to feel safe, but I do not believe that this place is one of them.
But if that changes, so will I.
I try very hard to truly understand everyone's point of view, but I am struggling on this one.
