Yes, that is the biggest fallacy in Democrat logic and the reason they will ultimately fail. You see, the believe their own propaganda, they think every conservative is uneducated hick who follows whatever shiny object is dangled in front of them. They think all they need to do to eliminate the NRA and conservatives will suddenly stop supporting gun rights, because after all we just support gun rights because the NRA tells us too (in their opinion). Same flawed logic with President Trump. Democrats believe if they can just discredit and get rid of Trump, the 70+ Million who voted for him will just fade away as well, because without Trump out there filling our heads with nonsense we'd be supporting Biden.
What they don't understand is WE created and supported the NRA to push our pro 2nd-amendment views, not the other way around. Getting rid of the NRA will change nothing, not one single conservative will become a gun grabber if the NRA ceases to exist. Same with President Trump, he succeeded because he echoed our beliefs, he did not create the conservative movement, and the movement will not end when he's gone.
The NRA represents about 5% of gun owners, and lefties complain that it’s too powerful a lobbying force.
I’m not really happy with LaPierre and the rumors of excess by executives. Am I wrong? The truth is hard to know for certain. We need good capable leadership that can go cross Party.
