    You're free to say whatever you'd like, 1st amendment. I'm free to own as many firearms as I'd like with magazines of any size, 2nd amendment. See how that works?

    Abject DENIAL on your part does not alter the REALITY of the NRA gun culture of violence.

    Thank you. It's good evidence that gun control has racist roots.

    And what's wrong with that? It's public record what your representatives vote for. do you think that should be a secret?

    No, the NRA is responding to it's board which is elected by the membership. The NRA is a conduit for the views of millions of concerned people. It's also the largest gun safety training provider in the U.S., and one of the larger providers of shooting competitions. Of course the gun makers advertise and pay money to the NRA. It's just like Nike and other athletic shoe companies advertising with the USTA.

    Nike is not promoting a gun culture of violence whereas the NRA is doing exactly that.

    Nope. Sport is sport. Most of the NRA's money goes to sporting competitions (target shooting) and gun safety training. T

    BTW, keep the analogy straight. Nike is the equivalent of the gun manufacturers. The NRA is the equivalent of the USTA.

    Thinkprogress as a source...............:roflol:

    Inspector General report on IRS targeting conservative groups

    IRS no longer targeting groups, fed watchdog says

    Inappropriate Criteria Were Used to Identify Tax-Exempt Applications for Review

    Even the Treasury Dept report concluded they were targeting. A left wing nut kook blog says they weren't so they weren't. It just defies logic.

    No one is being killed by Nike products either!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Apples and oranges!

    The IRA was targeting startup fundraising organizations on BOTH sides.

    The allegation that is was ONLY targeting the Tea Party is utterly BOGUS.

    Your very slogan is simple minded and silly. The only folk you convince are others getting the same simple minded argument from the same official leftist media outlets...

    Obama's brother got his tax exempt status retroactively.

    If the left wing groups chose the wrong name, they got caught up in the IRS sweep for Conservatives but they NEVER received the scrutiny the Conservative groups did. Try getting your information from sources other than the American version of Pravda.

    Why exclude the FACTS from your link?

    The IG's report was meaningless since it has BIASED to begin with.

    Will you supply the forum with proof of this NRA gun culture of violence?

    This runs entirely counter to their mission as well as their mission statement.

    Ironic since you have just gone back to beating your original dead horse that has already been soundly refuted.

    It's a slogan, not an argument. The 'proof' will always be simply an opinion

    All the liberals love that sort of thing, they won't be satisfied until this country is totally bought, much like Australia.
