The NRA has really been shooting itself in the foot (no pun intended) lately, and could do more harm than good on this issue.

The NRA has learned it’s lesson well and does not need to apologize for anything in it’s defense of the 2nd Amendment.

We don’t need gun control.

We need liberal control.

The NRA has been shooting itself in the foot? You are either believe leftist propaganda or you are a leftist. Which is it?

The NRA had the guts to suggest that Newtown hire armed security guards for their schools and was mocked and denigrated by the Libtard Press. Now Newtown has voted to hire armed security guards for their schools.

Even the Press is admitting that the NRA is winning the inflence war over gun control.

“accusing President Obama of hypocrisy for supporting gun control while his own family is protected by armed Secret Service agents.”

Yeah, we shouldn’t accuse anyone of hypocrisy when they are being hypocrits!

“If a tornado hits, if a hurricane hits, if a riot occurs, that they’re going to be out there alone, and the only way they’re going to protect themselves, in the cold, in the dark, when they’re vulnerable, is with a firearm.”

Just ask some residents of New Jersey.
When you count on the Government to meet your needs, you're setting yourself up for huge disappointment.

Depend on yourself - and be prepared to defend yourself.

Obviously you don’t know that FR is a pro-gun conservative site. I believe you’d feel more comfortable posting on MoveOn.org.

Hehe, your propaganda dump won’t work here. The NRA’s tactics and bold positioning are actually improving its image. Lefties do not understand the idea of moral clarity. We have a right to live. It’s a God-given right and everybody intuitively gets that, even most libs. And if we have a right to live, we have a right to defend our life, whether as individuals, families, or states. Everybody gets that. And that’s why the NRA and others are in a position to win this big. Propaganda to the contrary is just embarrassing, for the author, and for the pawns who believe it. Sorry. Like I tell some telemarketers, get a different employer. You can do better.

Oh, and welcome to FR. :)

Only an absolute troll (like you) would post an article by an avowed socialist such as Eugene Robinson and agree with the article. Do us a favor and take your mindless drivel elsewhere.

The goal of this government (President) is to have all gun owners register their guns. Once this is accomplished, the governmet will know where every gun is and can confiscate them on short notice. Our freedom under the second amendment will mean nothing. So eveyone should reject any notion of
registering every wepon. K2afe

I think it is way overdue that we finally make the AAA responsible for drunk driving.

Here is a good article by Forbes that shows just who is getting shot in what foot. You should read it. It might open your libtard eyes to the truth.

From the article:

Wallace noted that he sent his children to the same school the Obama daughters attend, and there were no armed guards on campus.

Oh really, Mr. Wallace? Here is the staff directory webpage for Sidwell Friends school, showing 11 enteries under "security."

The rhetoric of this article is pushing me to renew my NRA membership this AM, as soon as I am done browsing FR.

Also going to call GOA & see about getting a membership there.

I am on limited Soc Sec income, and don’t have bucks to throw away, but this is important.

Perhaps for those who live in the gated “ guarded communities”, you don’t see the need for a weapon.

I DO see the need, and I have lived rural for over 20 years & I live alone. Dogs are the best warning system I have. Weapons of any kind are my best protection. Sheriff cannot always be on my road.
