most Americans, including gun owners, favor laws that would limit access in various reasonable ways (even three-quarters of NRA households favor background checks prior to private gun sales). But when a U.S. congresswoman was shot in the face, the NRA made certain that no law was passed that would have made her safer.

Loughner had a background check on the gun he used.

This guy is an anti-gun troll selling bull$h!t.

“I Own Guns. But I Hate the NRA.”

I Own Guns. But I Hate your freedom.

Fixed for accuracy.

Gee, a reader letter from what I believe is called the "Red Star" in Minnesota. Has a problem with the NRA?

What a surprise. Here is another surprise: I do not give a shiite what a liberal from the NE thinks about the NRA.

Thank you, a Life Member of the NRA.

Most phones have caller ID now. Use it, you dumb bunny.

Maybe the NRA doesn’t represent all gun owners, but it certainly represents me. I don’t necessarily agree with everything they lobby for, especially their occasional endorsements of vermin like Harry Reid, though I understand their adherence to acting like a single-issue organization that looks at everything through the lens of the 2nd amendment and nothing else, but I do feel that so often the NRA has done the heavy-lifting on issues that matter most to me as a gun owner’s that others wouldn’t do, didn’t do, or didn’t do effectively. That is why I’m an NRA Benefactor Life Member and proud of it.

Davis Fellerath is entitled to his opinion. We defend that one too, even if he’s wrong.

[Daffynition]

David Fellerath should stick with soccer.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

The guy on the phone was right, and I’m not a member of the NRA. The UN is attempting to create an international treaty that restricts gun ownership, including in America.

Go look it up on Al Gore fantastic internet.

I was amused, and then insulted, that someone would think I was dumb enough to fall for such a pitch. But the sad truth is that there are enough people willing to open their checkbooks to make such a noxious fundraising appeal worthwhile.

I'm guessing you didn't fall for that crap from Barry about lowering the sea levels and reducing the deficit and creating 20 million new jobs and all that poppycock and balderdash.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Another rant from another hater. I thought liberal clowns like this guy didn’t hate.

[BlueNgold]

The NRA sometimes annoys me. Constant fund raising. Their membership special offers always require an “are you really sure” confirmation ... even when you already checked the box for the duffle or cap etc when you send in the card ... of course they send that after the check clears.

[Eagles6]

Handgun apologist, huh?.

Can't find in my copy of the Constitution where it mentions hunting or skeet shooting.

David is a richard. Comes from a long family of Richards. Screw him, screw his ilk, and most important, screw the powers that be that entice him to vomit such tripe.

Oh, btw, happy 4th, Independence day, and all.

[LowOiL]

I also love the 2nd (will not say if I own guns because that is nobodies business), but I also will not donate to the NRA because I have seen that they do NOT support gun rights. The recent state issues such as being able to carry in your car in Alabama was NOT supported in any way by the NRA. The NRA seems to want to keep the sheriff groups happy with making you rent your God given right to a gun (permits).

Screw the NRA, they know if they get full rights their money racket business will disappear.

I don't own a gun, I gave up the gun I used to earn my living more than 30 years ago. I was dry firing and "empty" gun 45° from my infant son being changed on a table—BAM!—the emtpy gun went off. I got rid of it. (Twenty percent of officer shootings are self-inflicted & 15% are partner inflicted.)

I hate guns, I was following Gabriel Giffords before she was shot because I was trying to understand libertarians who are pro-choice. I was aghast when she was shot, false accusations against Sarah Palin notwithstanding.

I don't want to get a gun, but I'm feeling compelled to get one. Before I do, I will be in the weird position of joining the NRA without owning a gun.

I don't ever want to shoot an assailant, I'd rather take the consequences, but I have responsibilities, I have to protect the lives of innocent people.

The NRA was started to protect the lives of freed African-American slaves during Reconstruction. As late as the 1960s, segregationist Democrats were opposing equity and justice for African-Americans. It was the now-faithless Republicans who supported African-Americans.

[VanShuyten]

I call BS on the premise of this article. The NRA has never called me after I’ve bought a firearm.

[Hugin]

I smell a Bloomberg troll. I don’t believe his BS story.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

I own 3 guns but I hate liberals

[Jim Noble]

I don’t hate the NRA. I do wish they would stop the annoying sales calls from their “partners”.
