He's also an idiot.

People like this are on another planet. I had coffee with one this morning. The guy I met actually said that gun owners are responsible for the CT school shooting and for the deaths of those kids.

It was an interesting conversation. Most of these people are afraid of firearms and think only the govt should have them.

[dirtboy]

Quite the load of brain-dead babble. And I keep seeing this unsourced allegation:

Interestingly, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is already barging into gun dealers shops across the country violating the McClure-Volkmer Act by violating gun owner’s privacy by copying the shop’s 4473s the agency does not already have an electronic copy of.

It would be nice if someone would provide an actual link to this happening.

Well, the NRA keeps saying that [insert Democrat here] is going to come to take away your guns.

John, you ignorant slut... The NRA is NOT at all a partisan group. There are a number of dems that the NRA supports, simply due to the fact that there is only ONE thing they deal with... Gun rights. If a dem supports gun rights, the NRA will support them.

If the NRA and its paranoid membership are so worried about the government creating a national gun registry, lest the government use that list to confiscate guns, they should stop worrying: The best list in the country already exists. It’s called the NRA membership.

And members still only amount to a fraction of actual gun owners. Too make matters even worse (for this idiot), the vast majority of guns don't even need to be registered at all.

I personally would much rather face an attacker who is armed with an "assault rifle" than one armed with a 12 gauge shotgun.

If this is a blog. Please do not excerpt as I do not want to give hits to these fascist A$$holes in order to read their brain droppings.

[TheRhinelander]

That’s exactly why I’ve never joined.

[discostu]

Most of the gun owners I know, including myself, have never been NRA members. I’m not into giving money to advocacy groups, don’t trust them to not get confused about their mission.

[I want the USA back]

As they always do, they will confiscate and call it something else.

Does this fool get paid to write? My seventh grade English teacher would have had him sitting in a corner wearing a pointy hat.

[Trod Upon]

Oh my, I guess we should all drop out and shut up then.

[SnakeDoctor]

Actually ... not a terrible point, particularly considering the source. The NRA membership list probably would be a prime target for Obama if he started confiscating.

I wonder if John Aravosis has ever heard of Pink Pistols.

Never seen a resume with more FAIL in it.

While our list of fascists and communists is comprised from the Democrat voter rolls, union membership, college faculty lists, and media bylines.

[DallasDeb]

I’ve been a member of the NRA and I don’t own a gun. I have the membership sticker posted on the window by my front door.

[Billthedrill]

There are an estimated 100 million gun owners in the United States. There are 4.5 million NRA members. John Aravosis is a cliche-spouting idiot.

In my part of the world we have a fairly reliable gun registry. It's called the phone book.

[longtermmemmory]

membership lists are protected from the days when the klan would want them to kill people.

[servo1969]

“If the NRA and its paranoid membership”

AND... there’s no need to read any further.

[BobL]

He’s trolling with that piece. For some reason, I doubt that the NRA will hand over ANYTHING to the feds.
