Apparently, gNads isn't getting enough of the right attention.
Here. she attempts to be civil and noncontroversial.
No blaring declarations of expertise.

So far I have met two older gents
Who have sent their NRA membership card to the NRA in little pieces, and two who are also getting rid of guns. One completely. 
What s of interest s that both have grand kids...and for both it was Sandy Hook. I helped one find the info with the local PD. he wants to turn almost every last one in, and make sure they are destroyed. He used to believe that you had the god given right to own anything you want, even an M-60 if you can pass the background and licensing requirements. (Not that he ever did) 
Not anymore. 

He's keeping his shotgun for the occasional hunting and home defense. As he put it, that is reasonable. 
The ARs,and other semi automatics, not so much.

I gotta wonder why, and this is starting to look as a pattern, that older folks seem to get it. 

Strange that you never hear about the five or so that join the NRA, to take their place.

3. I have mentioned this numerous times...about getting it. 
I believe folks like this have their perceived needs of owning these types of firearms diminish greatly when they see the costs, ease, and association of them being tragically misused. 

Yes, you misuse the tragic event to vilify inoccent, lawful citizens.
Short discussion on buy-backs, then this.

5. A local police made an exception for two guns they got
One went straight to a museum, a Kentucky long...the cops take it on loan every so often and lovingly shoot it a the police range. Used dots instead of riffle.
The other was a tommy gun, that was disabled by the armorer, and then went to the museum. tommy gun?
That is a story I heard from a cop, a few years old.  So, what's the point?

8. While tailgating before the Packer game Saturday night a bunch of us talked about guns and Newtown..

... six guys, all gun owners, two who self-identified as NRA members. There was lots of head-hanging and scratching the dirt (snow actually) with toes as no one quite knew what to say.

I tossed out that I would be glad to melt all my firearms if it would stop ALL the killing. EVERYONE agreed. Idiot purposely left out the "all", part. I would agree also.  This in northern Wisconsin where hunting is almost a religious ritual.

The NRA is a paper tiger. With titainium teeth.

I hope a few more comment, for the added enjoyment.

Apparently the rubber crop is coming in early this year.......and is going to be huge.

[Freeper]

For ever person doing what Nads says they are 10 more are buying guns for the first time.

Keep telling yourself that, DUmbass, if it helps you to sleep at night.  But before you wrap yourself in collectivist dreams, ask yourself why your president is considering illegal executive action to disarm your countrymen instead of signing Constitutionally passed laws like he promised to do when he was sworn in.

This is going to be an interesting period in our history, DUmmie, and I don't think you're going to like the outcome no matter which side wins...

Just ran into this.
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/nra-100k-new-members-after-sandy-hook-86001.html

By KATIE GLUECK | 1/10/13 9:35 AM EST
The National Rifle Association has gained more than 100,000 new members in the last 18 days, the organization told POLITICO’s Playbook on Thursday.

The number of paid new members jumped from 4.1 million to 4.2 million in that time frame.

“We are willing to talk to policymakers about any reasonable proposals and plans,” an NRA official said in the Playbook report, regarding the upcoming meeting with Biden. “However, the NRA is hearing not just from Beltway elites and the chattering class, but real Americans all over the country that are hoping the NRA is not going to compromise on any of the principles of the Second Amendment, nor are we going to support banning guns. But we’re willing to listen.”

To join the NRA, would-be members must pay $25. In return, they are eligible for a “Rosewood Handle Knife, Black & Gold Duffel Bag or Digital Camo Duffel Bag,” the Playbook report said.

How's that working out for you, gNads?

No, as you put it, blithering waste of flesh.  Anything to match what your spew, huh baldidwarf....


Shut up, Nads.  

However, the NRA is hearing not just from Beltway elites and the chattering class,

Well,  that'll jerk a dump truck full of cellulite out of her big toe.

Wait,....what?  Last week, the NRA was worse than the NDSAP?  Which is it, idiots?

Head-hanging and boot scuffling.  Right, Scuba. 

Only $25?  I'm joining today!

Karen and all at CU. As a NRA Patron member I can sign up family and friends for lifetime membership at $300 vs the usual $1k.  PM me and maybe we can figure out how to make this work if interested.

Let me pull out the paperwork tonight and see if there is a limit on the number I can sign up.

Hardly. Not one single person is doing what the dwarf said in her little bouncy, and you can't divide by zero.

One downside is the avalanche of junk mail touched off by an NRA membership.

Of course, we're already buried in junk mail, so it's not that big a deal.

What I really hated were the incessant phone calls when my membership was close to expiration, and for months afterward. I'd rejoin if NRA would stop that.

That is incredibly annoying.  Once I join I just want them to leave me alone but this thread has reminded me that I need to renew my membership.  I let it expire a couple of years ago for me and the wife but I need to give them a call and renew.

I joined twice. The second time was with a letter requesting no junk mailings, use the money wasted for something else. They didn't do it so I won't join them again.

Another DOTY-worthy thread started by the crazy bald fat dyslexic dwarf.

By the way, voters, where is your 2012 Top DUmmy?

[Airwolf]

I should get my Daughter to sign up just so it raises the membership by one more. El Guapo will once again be wrong.

[Karin]

He's laying down on the job, GOBUCKS.  He's being a useless waste of oxygen just like any DUmmie.  He's failing to provide leadership and failing at everything else as well.

The NRA dwarfs DU in real members and even counting all the banned members, posters from here, FR, and I am sure even the John Birch society, the NRA still trumps the hoard.  Which group would you discribe as a paper tiger?

Student opens fire at California high school, wounding one

At least one person was shot when a gunman opened fire at a high school in California on Thursday morning, authorities there say.
The shooting occurred in the science building at Taft Union High School in Taft, Calif., at approximately 9 a.m. local time, a Kern County Sheriff's official told Yahoo News.

The sheriff's official said the suspected shooter—a student at the school—was taken into custody, and a shotgun was recovered at the scene.

All these shootings happening at Public schools must stop, I propose an immediate ban of all Public schools.

Would that be a Kentucky long...riffle?

The nutcase really needs to do more work on her bouncy technique.

I take good care of my guns, appreciate them, and for one reason or another like every one.

I've fired countless thousands of rounds and enjoyed it immensely.

But never once in my life have I fired even a single round "lovingly".

I cannot think of a more inappropriate adverb.

You ain't kidding.

Her bouncy, like most of what she writes, is a steaming pile of bovine excrescence.

I've seen the museum staff at the US Cavalry Museum (Ft Riley, KS) handle the weapons in the displays- they wear gloves. If her mythical Kentucky long riffle is authentic, no museum in the world would allow a two century old weapon to be checked out like a library book BY STRANGERS, removed from the care and control of the museum BY STRANGERS, FIRED multiple times (lovingly), disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, and checked back in.

I'm almost embarrassed for Nads when I read tripe like this. Almost.
