Really only two winners in the gun debate
Jan 13, 2013, 9:09 PM

The Gun Manufacturers and the NRA, they are getting filthy rich over the scare tactics coming from the right wing. "Quick, buy as many guns as you can before they are taken away." Some of you are eating it up hook line and sinker.
And before you try and tell me that the NRA's responsibility is to protect its members and their right to bear arms, wake up. They protect the gun manufactures and their right to get filthy rich. They only took 200 million in contributions this past year from gun manufactures, 80 went to lobby, errr bribe congress.
So enjoy your delusional fantasies about having an armed stand off with the government. 30 years from now nothing will have changed.

They're doing something the stimulus couldn't do...stimulate the economy!

not sure how it is stimulus when the money goes right back to the government in the form of political ads and lobbies.

The NRA sucks bawls when it comes to actual gun rights. It was actually against the Heller case at the beginning, and only got on board with it far down the line. If you care about gun rights, there are much better organizations to support. The only reason the NRA is so effective (at what, I don't know -- maybe effective at being noticed) is because of their bankroll. And, this is because of what tbalm wrote above: they make bank off of big scares like this.
I will say they have one helluva range at HQ though. Amazing place.

Misleading, the NRA didn't want to have the case decided

and LOSE, and their assessment of the court (which turned out to be wrong) was that it would lose.
They know that bringing a case and losing is more damaging than not bringing it at all because of setting precedents.
It was strategic not philosophical.

The NRA sucks. They fought a grassroots effort here in GA to get state level legislation changed. On the last day of session they even had people lobbying reps to vote no. After it passed they claimed the victory as their own. #### them.

So we would have more gun rights if the NRA didn't exist?

And the quotes coming from people like Feinstein, Biden, and Cuomo are the root of the panic buying, not those exposing the quotes.

The NRA is fundraising the hayull out of this.
edit: Let me be clear that this is not singular to just the NRA, but any non-profit advocacy group.

I prefer NAGR or GOA. NRA sold gun owners out.

Who on the right has used a scare tactic?

I'll admit, I've spent more recently on gun stuff... mainly because I've found some good deals. It's easy to see prices on some stuff going through the roof already as well as some stuff being hard to find.

Of course, they're a Washington lobbying organization

Their only purpose is to make firearm and ammunition manufacturers rich.
Sorry, but there's no altruism in the government lobbying business.
