Real men don't need guns? Funny! Tell that to your military and law enforcement. Tell that to all the FEMALES that have and carry guns. Do they believe that "REAL MEN" don't need guns?
I don't NEED an AR15 but I don't care if someone else owns one. I have plenty of other weapons, including several semi-automatic rifles and pistols. I am amused but concerned about all these "experts" on guns that never held one before and think that they know what everyone else "needs" or doesn't need. Of course, we don't NEED a gun. I carry one to protect my family and anyone else that needs protection, when their "I don't need a gun" family member refuses to protect them. Remember that often abused saying that goes something like this: I carry protection when three seconds might mean life or death, when a COP is at least three minutes away.
Just because someone does not like guns, does not give them ANY RIGHT to demand that others not have them.
The gov will never be able to take everyone's guns away. As soon as they announce confiscation, guns will be hidden. If you wish to see a pandemic of crime and brand new influx of criminals in this country, try taking guns away from normally law abiding citizens.

Agreed. However, you don't need to be a member to benefit from their lobbying.

You have to start somewhere, right? Or because there are so many corrupt nonprofits just ignore them all and do nothing?

Responsible firearm owners would gladly have assault type weapons become illegal if it came with an iron clad agreement to end all further crusades against other types of firearms.

A slippery slope argument, in logic, critical thinking, political rhetoric, and caselaw, is often viewed as a logical fallacy in which a party asserts that a relatively small first step leads to a chain of related events culminating in some significant effect.

She did. Since politics are not allowed here, I can't name two big cases she prosecuted and had shut down.

[Taltarzac725]

Dislike what the NRA has become. They did good work before they became something else entirely.

[LowOnCash]

I'm not a fan of automatic weapons but making them illegal means only crooks and terrorist have them. These slobs who kill with them don't buy their guns at gun shops!

[airstreamingypsy]

The prosecution in NY has nothing to do with the second Amendment, it has to do with people donating to a "charity" and the people running the charity using the donations to secure expensive yachts, hotels rooms for their families etc..... IOW living like kings on your donations. That's illegal.

[Lindsyburnsy]

The other charity that had to be dissolved was another high profile grifter from NYC. She is doing her job that has been long overdue.

Retiredguy, your logic is completely flawed. From what you feel or said nonprofits can do all the illegal things in the world and it's OK.

I saw an expose yesterday of the millions and millions that the top four people of the NRA have pilfered. But I guess you and the rest of the Second Amendment people will just continue to send in your membership fees and make "" charitable donations " to the NRA.

Get the true details and maybe you will might change your mind. Oh and by the way nobody is trying to take your guns away -- they're just trying to establish sensible gun ownership.

I also supported the NRA until 1993 when they lobbied for the Dickey amendment, which prohibits the CDC from using its funds to research gun violence in the USA.

I've been against the NRA ever since. The "organization" is nothing more than a very profitable lobby group now. And apparently a corrupt one that has put membership money into the pockets of its officers instead of spending it on its own causes. They never should've gotten their non-prof status in the first place. They can re-create themselves if they are dissolved, but their current incarnation is spoiled and unrecoverable, in my opinion.

The CDC has no business researching anything except disease.

Haven't had my full dose of caffeine yet, "Real men don't need guns", what does that mean?

[Garwood1]

I am not a member of NRA but this is the first step in eliminating any and all things they don’t agree with and where does it stop or does it keep going until they have total domination of us all ?

[golf4dns]

So make a donation to assist them in more good works...and tell them to use some of your well intentioned money to take a much deserved vacation.
