These rioters, looters and so called protesters are leading the young clueless sheep to pasture. These groups like Antifa or BLM have a sole purpose. They are trying to lead the way to their New World Order! They want to change America the way they see it. They are slowly working their way into our school systems, our government, etc. America better wake up.

No Antifa?? Where have you been hiding out?

You stopped short and never mentioned the groups that are the leaders in this movement and it ain't Anifa or BLM.

Hmmm, I suspect that quite a few female shooters could take exception to the insinuation that guys are the only citizens that appreciate firearms. The last time I was at the Ocala National Forest outdoor shooting range, I would guess that one out of four shooters were female. Please enlighten me; how does the NRA "profit" off of American citizens? I'm not a member, but I thought the NRA was an organization of shooting enthusiasts that champion the 2nd Amendment right and firearm marksmanship and safety.

"The National Rifle Association is America's longest-standing civil rights organization."

“NRA Foundation” is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

ANTIFA and BLM are minor leaguers if anyone takes the time and really wants to know.

That's how it was founded, and what its original mission was. It is currently one of the most powerful, influential, and profitable lobbyist organizations in the country. They fight against ANY restrictions on firearms - including universal background checks. In other words - all the criminals who have an extensive criminal history of gun violence - all the people who have violent histories but have not yet ever registered for gun ownership and are trying to do so now... the NRA supports NOT doing a background check to ensure that the guns aren't just being put into those hands.

They're basically saying "hey you - with the $250 permit fee written in nice neat letters on your check. Wanna buy a gun? Oh, you might have been arrested for beating all three of your previous wives? Nah don't worry about it. Just don't put that on the application form, we won't be checking you out anyway. Here. Have a gun, and a nice day."

That is the NRA in a nutshell, now. A far cry from what it once was.

Would you rather be a police officer or an African American man?

Why cant I be both?

Other than personal gun sales and family exchanges, ALL gun sales through a gun business/store requires a background check. I have frequented gun shows for years and always had to have a background check to purchase a gun. The only exception to that rule was when I had a CCW, which requires an extensive background and proof that one has the ability and knowledge of handling a gun safely.
I think that some folks like to believe that the NRA is the boogieman, but that is more likely just due to ignorance. I support the NRA even though I am not a member. They have done a lot of good. They have improved gun safety in schools and proficiency in law enforcement.

I've had the privilege of knowing ONE true AFRICAN American police officer, and quite a few Black police officers. It's funny how I never really thought of them as black or white officers. I based my opinion of the men and women solely upon their job performance. But, take a Black officer and have them patrol a black community and that officer is no longer considered Black, but BLUE and no different than a white police officer to that community.
Maybe if folks would stop worrying about semantics when it comes to race and just start thinking of themselves as Americans, then a lot of this stuff would cease. One does not refer to themselves as European Americans to refer to the color of one's skin. I have a son-in-law that is a REAL African by birth. He lives in America and does not use the term African American. He just says "American." I am not saying that one must give up their supposed "culture or heritage" if they really think they know what their true genealogy is. I do suggest that if one wants to be accepted by ALL, then they might think about assimilating into the American culture and heritage. And yes, American is different than European, even if we speak the same language..........sort of.

For some, I believe this is as close to heaven as they will ever get. Might as well enjoy it. For those that criticize this place, ain't America great?

The only background check required on a federal level is the NICS: National Instant Criminal (background check) System. This was originally presented as the Brady Bill, and was lobbied HEAVILY against by - your pals at the NRA. They spent millions to defeat it and succeeded in limiting its functionality.

The NRA is no friend to defense. They exist to push guns, period. They don't care who owns them. They used to. But they stopped caring decades ago and are now nothing more than a lobby for the gun manufacturing industry.

Apparently, what the NRA needs is a black spokes person.....then all would be okie dokie....like taking over cities and looting and burning and destruction of property, killing each other.....et al!!

Here's a strong contender..
