if the nra is for guns, what group is against guns?

Answer 1

It's sad to see conservatives make fun of the names of groups they don't like. Brady Bunch is insulting. Libtard is insulting. Democrap is insulting.
I believe they have a right to their opinions, just as much as I do, or anyone else. Mudslingers just drive the mainstream to the other side.
I am an owner of five guns. I have a Chinese made AR2078A .177 air rife for competitive shooting. This is what the Chinese Olympic team uses, and they have way more medals than Team USA unfortunately.
I have a Benjamin 392 .22 air rifle for plinking.
I have a .410 shotgun mainly used for skeet shooting. Any chump can hit a clay with a 12 gauge and modified choke... Try it with a .410 with full choke, like competitors do! I have a cheap New England Firearms/H&R Pardner that set me back less than $150. While I bought it to compete, I'll choose it first in defense of my home.
I have a Ruger 10/22 that was reworked by Clark for competition shooting. This gun has put many trophies on my shelves.
My newest gun is a Crosman 2300T .177 air pistol. It is also match grade.
All these guns were made for completion. None were ever used to kill anything. I am a gun owner. NOT a GUN NUT! I have to be an NRA member to gain access to most ranges and compete. Truth be told, I don't agree with a lot of what the NRA is about. To me, they are just as extreme as the anti-gun lobby.

Answer 2

Hirohito and the WW 2 Imperial Japanese Government were against the NRA and guns. Hirohito said the only reason he did not land troops in California was because 'there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass' Also remember, the Japanese did land troops in Alaska.

Pol Pot was against the NRA and guns. His removal of guns from the common man was step 1. Step 2 was to shoot every person who had a watch, glasses, or was educated. It is estimated he killed 2 million so called 'intellectuals' because he assumed they were against his communist rule of Cambodia.

Hitler and the Nazis were against the NRA and guns. "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so." Translation of Hitler's words. Also, after Dunkirk (this is where the British military was pinned by Germany, and fishing boats came and picked them, shuttling them back across the channel to England...leaving behind much military hardware) There was a big shortage of military arms in Britian, not enough for the homeguard, and the British Government feared a Nazi invasion. They asked the NRA to run adds in the NRA's members magazine, asking Americans to privately donate their pistols and rifles in defense of Britain. Many Americans did just that. This pissed Hitler off. It turns out Hitler didn't invade (the guns sent probably had no impact on this descision) After the war, rather than returning the arms donated by private American citizens, the British Government destroyed them.

Answer 3

lots...perhaps still Fraternal order of Police national even though most cops are actually pro 2nd amendment. I am a life member of the NRA. Why people often think the NRA is extreme is pretty funny to me. The NRA's staunch stance is not to give an inch on conceding 2nd amendment rights. If you are a Democrat that owns guns you need to evaluate if your representative if supporting your legal, safe ownership of firearms or are they actively trying to take them away from you. I honestly wonder why hunters and sportsman in New York are asleep and allow Chuck Schumer to keep getting elected. The problem with antigun crowd is that their goal is not to Control Guns. Their avowed goal is to eventually BAN all private firearms ownership. Check out Austrailia and Great Britain if you think it can't happen here.

Answer 4

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Violence Policy Center are both extremely anti-gun.

Answer 5

There's a whole lot of groups against private ownership of guns. Let me list a few for you...

The United Nations

Ever heard of the genocide of perhaps millions of innocent people going on in Darfur Sudan Africa?

Do you know that the United Nations helped to disarm the non-Muslim tribes, in a misguided effort to establish peace, and then the Muslims, being the violent murderous kind they are, just started killing people. The killing is going on right now, and no one is doing anything.

Let's look at some history of other people who were against guns:

1915 Turkey.
The Muslim Turks disarm the Christian Armenians, a minority living in Turkey. Between 1915 and 1917, 1,500,000 Armenians are systematically slaughtered by Turkish soldiers

U.S.S.R. Stalin
In the late 1920s, Stalin disarms the many ethnic groups in Russia's empire. Between 1929 and 1945, an estimated 20,000,000 people die at the hands of Stalin

Nazi Germany and occupied Europe. Hitler
The first thing the Nazis do is make private gun ownership illegal. First thing! They then proceed to round up and kill 20 million innocent UNARMED people.

China. Mao .....Commies again!
Mao and his murderous thugs outlaw guns and go door to door collecting them. Over 25,000,000 people in China are rounded up and either killed outright or die in prison camps. This goes on to this day, despite the great Public Relations firms that China has hired to polish their image and being good, good friends with Bill Clinton, who works for the Chinese.

Cambodia, Khmer Rouge...more commies.
Did you see "The Killing Fields"? Before doing mass murder, Pol Pot and his commie thugs outlawed guns to "lower crime", then proceeded to kill off 2,000,000 Cambodians.

Rwanda 1994
With help and encouragement from the United Nations, guns are banned and confiscated. The people of the Tutsi tribe, unable to defend themselves, are slaughtered. 800,000 innocent people die while the U.N. does nothing.

Actually, the NRA, of which I am a member, is a moderate group who makes concessions to the gun-banners. I also belong to GOA, Gun Owners of America, who does not.


So, the reason I'm not giving up my guns has nothing to do with hunting deer.....it has nothing to do with crimes...it has to do with the fact that people who have guns determine their own future and people who do not have guns serve their governments.

Think it can't happen here? Let me ask you one question...
Do you trust your government?

Answer 6

While others have answered this question with what I would have provided, please know this; there are many more tools to do harm with, that actually do harm more than firearms. Baseball bats, automobiles, bathtubs, drugs (legal or illegal), alcohol, water, fire, barstools, the list is literally endless. NONE of these items are outlawed, nor is there any legislation to ban any of these or any other tools.

ANY item is dangerous in the hands of a dangerous person. So if anything needs to have a group against it, it is the criminal doing the harm. Please keep this in mind as you search and decide on the RIGHT thing, not the "feel-good" thing.

Answer 7

Handgun Control, Inc.
the AMA
the CDC.

Answer 8

Luckily the NRA is very helpful on this:
Brady (Bunch) gun-ban group.

Answer 9

If anyone points a weapon at me, I sure hope I can move fast enough to get out of their aim.

I bought into the NRA, and found out they are like any other business. I just don't care about Guns that much. Fact is killing whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, or elk was for food when I joined.
And I quit hunting when I realized the table was getting filled with store bought beef much cheaper then the two to three hundred dollars a day I spent to go out and hunt for one.

That is the cheap hunt. If I spent time doing it correctly I tracked them all year and knew their habits by hunting season. Then it only took me a couple of hours to get one freezer full of meat to last all Winter.

I will support those for the Second amendment, and yet, I think of it differently then the NRA. So you can keep your arms and your hands to yourself.

Anyone had a long Winter to speak of in the last ten years?

Answer 10

Any group or individual that wants to take away your/our right to have the tools that are at least as powerful, if not more so, than the ones criminals are using.

Riddle me this! Since cars are used by many criminals for traveling to, from and commiting crimes shouldn't there be more legislation restricting travel? One can't commit a crime if one can't get to a potential crime scene!

Every great technological advancement for the good can be and usually is twisted for evil purposes.
