Perhaps we should start our own alternative to the NRA.

 
Since half of NRA members oppose the NRA stance, we have a ready market. Plus, it is a true Market Approach since the NRA is basically a monopoly.

This new group could do what the NRA used to do - they could teach safety. They could offer certificates of training. They could inspect shooting ranges and certify them if they are safe. They could advocate for safer legislation.

The NRA is dead, as well they should be since they abandoned their core.

There will always be people with firearms; whether for hunting, to protect from rabid critters, or simply for hobby target shooting.

There are legitimate reasons for having a single-shot gun, but not for more than a 3-round magazine. On the other hand, in a controlled environment such as a shooting range firing a powerful weapon with a large clip can be fun! Why not restrict such fun to a shooting range?

I have no problem with Billy-Bob shooting the biggest and fastest gun with the highest mag capacity he can at the shooting range, where everything is controlled and it is certified safe. It's only when he tries to take it home and use it on real people or things that I have a problem.

And how many Billy Bobs are out there who have never hurt a single person with their weapons?
I can understand not wanting liberals to be armed, they can't be trusted with the safety scissors they give to preschool kids, but the millions of responsible gun owners who have done nothing wrong do not need your supervision.

2. From my few times at a shooting range, I didn't see a lot of "Billy Bobs" out there.

Maybe one thing this new gun organization could do is an educational outreach to let the non-gun users of the world know that most gun owners do not fit the shallow stereotypes that some proponents of gun regulation like to perpetuate.

You people cant even teach kids that 2+2 = 4 and you want to run a gun range? That should work out real well.

Yeah the thought of moonbats handling weapons and training other moonbats to use them is frighting.

You know what? I change my mind on gun bans, I am all for banning guns for anyone who votes for democrats. That way they won't have to worry about guns and us decent and civilized people can still keep our rights. It's a win win.

There were plenty of fake 'Sportsmen's organizations' shilling for Democrats in the last two elections, bought and paid for by the Dems, of course; all you idiots need to do is revive one of them and get some people to join it who aren't actually getting paid to claim to be members.  Fat chance on that one.

Hey great idea DUmmie! Maybe we could call the group GOA or NAGR (DUmmies should love that one) since the NRA has that monopoly and all.  ::)


Morons.

Oh boy, liberals starting up a gun club. This will be fun.
Classes taught by people who not only fear guns, but have never owned one.
What shooting ranged would proudly display certification by such a group.

I suggest a name for y'all. The PRA, the Pansy Rifle Association.

There aren't many 0bamaites who can legally own a firearm.
