Gun group dangerously out of touch (BARF ALERT)

Let me say this as clearly as I can:

I'm sick and tired of the NRA.

As one of millions of American citizens who don't own a gun or consider gun ownership part of my personal DNA, I'm tired of a powerful national organization for gun advocates that seems tone-deaf in the face of unprecedented concern about the amount of gun violence in our society.

I'm tired of an organization that constantly resists any initiative for more gun control even in the wake of sensational shootings that have become a disturbing part of the American fabric.

I'm tired of tight-faced National Rifle Association officials such as executive vice president Wayne LaPierre making outlandish statements after tragedies such as the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that lack even a pinch of compassion for child victims but instead pile on blame for gun violence on society's love of Hollywood movies and video games.

Deal with it, D*bag. You can leave any time, I'll even flush for you...

It would be nice if MR. Kane grew a pair and decided to get sick and tired of a real menace...inner city gangs that are destroying lives and neighborhoods.

—not too surprised—I tried to email one Richard Cohen about a column and found the same thing-—

I'm sick and tired of the NRA.

And I'm sick and tired of whiny Liberals.

You should be - just for the amount of libs that will be POed as the NRA’s membership numbers continue to climb the next few months.

$35 for a years membership - just think of the numbers of POed libs.

Was out with some friends this weekend and talked two of them into joining.

I’m a Life Member but plan on joining the GOA this week.
