How dare the peasants tell a member of the nobility that the rules they created apply to them too.

Reminds me of the old, I believe Marx Brothers, routine.

The Kings aide exclaims, "Your Majesty, your Majesty! The peasants they are revolting!"

The King remarks, "Yes, they certainly are."

Isn't the NSSF one of those organizations that is actually against the 2nd amendment but pretends like they are pro 2nd?

I don't want him to resign from MAIG. Instead, he should go on the David Letterman show with NYC Mayor Bloomberg. Only then will the American public see what the Anti- 2nd Amendment crowd is all about.

It is illegal to discharge a firearm or bow:

This includes high-powered rifles!!

No, you're thinking of some of the other groups, which usually use the word "hunter" to appeal to some "Fudds".

NSSF is very active in 2A causes.

Well, we all know New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, DC and California are always one-upping the other states when it comes to gun laws.....Did you know that pepper spray is either banned for mail-order sales in these states or the size is limited?

You need a sarcasm tag or a smilely or something to keep somebody looking for dirt on Freep from taking posts like that out of context.

OK, thanks. I find it confusing trying to keep all of the groups straight (which is the point of the 'fake' groups).
