Why do Liberals hate the NRA?

Question

Socialists and Communists know from experience that removing guns from the people is the best way to remove their freedom. Americans know from experience that we needed our arms to win our freedom and that we had better keep them if we are to remain free !

Answer 1

Liberals have every reason to hate the NRA. The NRA is composed of patriotic conservatives. They fiercely fight for the2nd Amendment, something liberals want repealed. Most members of the NRA will never give up their guns. That would lead to certain enslavement.

Answer 2

genuinely i imagine both one in each and every of those communities might want to be too extreme now and again. even if the NRA takes it waaaaay to far. showing up in cities after mass shootings to "shelter gun rights"? What are they, Westboro Baptist Church? they want to commence wondering and appearing like people back. P.S. i might want to turn that round and ask why do conservatives hate the ACLU yet love the NRA?

Answer 3

Here's my take. Whether you agree or disagree, I don't give a sh*t:

Whoever thinks that armed citizens can prevent tyranny is a f*cking moron. How the hell can a group of average people with guns fight against TRAINED military personnel? If you guys are so worried about this country being ruled by tyrants, then you obviously don't trust your great leaders.

Saying guns don't kill people is another idiotic statement. That's like saying: "Bombs don't kill people, people who detonate them do. So, people should have the right to make bombs in their homes!"
And if guns don't kill people, why aren't they allowed on airplanes or federal buildings ????
How would you feel if your Middle Eastern-looking neighbor who just moved in to the neighborhood owned a gun (or guns)?

NRA people consistently ignore this but Japan and Australia have very low crime rates --- and very strict gun laws. USA has 15 times the gun homicide rate of Australia! (TAA DAAAA!!!).

How about something simpler for you guys to understand?
Let's say there are two tiny islands; let's call them North Island and South Island. Each island has a group of castaways. In South Island, nobody has a gun; in North Island, one of the castaways owns a gun. Where is there more of a chance for manslaughter to occur? Sure, you might say stranded in an island is dangerous by itself, but with someone owning a gun, the chance of a murder occuring will rise.

There. That's my say. Thank you.
Feel free to call me a "commie pinko", but sticks and stones......

Answer 4

I'm a liberal and I don't hate the NRA. Personally, I HATE HATE HATE HATE guns, but the reality of the world is this: if bad guys followed laws, including gun laws, they wouldn't be bad guys.
I believe the problem may be the pomposity.
I don't want to take guns out of any one's hands anymore. I think it is past time to put a gun in everyhousehold, mandate locks and mandate gun education classes. Michael Moore can shout that Canada is safer and so on, because they don't have guns all he wants. If we worked out 1. the Population by number and demographic we would find that they are far fewer and more homogenic. If everyone agrees and is the same they are less likely to want to kill each other. If there are fewer people in all of say Sacatchewn than in freaking Manhattan, they aren't going to have many people to kill. 2. Canada started out with tighter gun laws. We are too far into to our history to put the genie back in the bottle.
So, I don't really want guns, hate the damage they can cause and think Charleton Heston needs a serious liposuction on his ego, I don't hate the NRA. In fact, I'll make the NRA a deal.
I will agree to keep out of your gun closet if you agree to keep the hell out of my uterus. You do what you want with the boomsticks, I'll decide what goes in and stays in my womb.
Deal?

Answer 5

Some Liberals are against the NRA, some are not.
My wife is against owning guns, I am not, with the limitation that gun-owners be very well trained, like my father, a vietnam vet and liberal gun-owner member of the NRA, and unlike me, a 23-year-old kid with no military training and no gun

Answer 6

Its about control. Liberal socialists believe they know what is best for the average citizen better than the average citizen. They feel they should be allowed to tell people how to live. Its really hard to dictate to someone when that person has a defensive capability.

Remember, gun control is not about guns, its about control.
More people have died at the hands of the government they thought would protect them than at the hands of enemy armies.

Answer 7

Private firearms ownership poses a real danger to the stability of any totalitarian regime.

Answer 8

The US is one of the ONLY civilized countries to allow it's private citizens to own a gun. On average civilized countries like england, japan, germany, etc...have way less than 100 homicides caused by shooting a year. The US has about 12,000. Does that not seem ridiculous to you? I honestly think that our founding fathers NEVER intended for guns to be used the way they are today. It is possible for a notion today to lose it's right to bear arms, in the 90's australia did it, hopefully we'll follow everyone else's example.

Answer 9

It's because of their insincerity for the town who lost a 1st grader to a gun shooting by another 1st grader. From the mouth of Charles Heston " out of my dead cold hands" following his annual appearance just a day after the killing. No sympathy shown from that group.

Answer 10

Ooh, ooh! I know! Because they hate bloody corpses?
