You brought it up not me, but since you did, don't bitch.
You don't want to view the NRA as a gang, or claim it should not be viewed as a gang?
The NRA is not what it started out as. If it were still what it started out as, I would have no problem with it. But just like a street gang, and just like a violent religious sect, it is the same "all or nothing" lack of pragmatism, group mentality, and gets blindly defended by it's supporters in much the same way lacking any self introspection. The disgusting irony is that the NRA is a minority of our entire population, and also a minority of both conservative and liberal gun owners. Kinda like Saddam was a minority but ruled over a majority.
The mentality of the CURRENT NRA leadership is toxic, and right now it is NOT a rights org, but is a utopia peddler delusional opportunistic profit lobby gang that markets fear to protect their industry sponsors. Really to me CURRENTLY is acting more like a religion in it's marketing, than a law advocate.
But, just like economics, if it worked the way defenders claimed, there would be no problems and nobody would be bitching. Sorry, but the NRA does not get to as a minority dictate our laws, diplomacy in lawmaking isn't ever "all or nothing".
Now, again, don't complain, you brought it up.
