I’m a gun-owning American but I hate the NRA

"Why do leftists have to hate something all the time?"

"The Pen is mightier than the sword", therefore David Fellerath must be guilty of a Hate Crime, right?

[BTW, I just learned this:"The English words "The pen is mightier than the sword" were first written by novelist and playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, in his historical play Cardinal Richelieu." - Who first said 'The pen is mightier than the sword'? ]

I always thought it was “The penis mightier than the sword”.

Oh well. You learn something new every day.

“...Edward Bulwer-Lytton”

He was the same “dark and stormy night” guy Snoopy would plagiarize so often. Anybody that can inspire an anthropomorphized beagle is alright in my book.

I love the GOA, but they’re the yapping chihuahua to the NRA’s 800-lb gorilla. Sure, the NRA has an agressive funding arm. If you can’t handle a few mailings and phone calls, then paraphrasing Apocalypse Now, IMO you’re wrapped a little too tight for firearms.
