The NRA’s profit soars as gun deaths mount

Recommended Posts

*********Isn't the NRA non-profit?



The NRA has several different organizations.
One is a "foundation" which is non-profit and is devoted to charity.
Another is the membership organization, which is for profit.
Yet another is the political organization, which operates under different rules.

These things move in cycles:
Public shooting occurs.
Politicians call for more gun control.
Citizens fear gun restrictions and go buy guns now fearing they won't be able to later.
Gun makers profit.
Citizens join the NRA to fight against the gun restrictions so they can keep their guns.
The NRA profits.

If the politicians would focus on the real problem, instead of threatening to take guns from law-abiding citizens, the gun-buying and NRA-joining cycles would stop.

And the real problem is.....?

People like you who attack a symptom and turn a blind eye to the real problem

Well, a rather nonsensical circular argument from rushmc.

So the real problem, according to Marc Rush, is.....?

You alone have made more "Obama sucks" posts than any ten anti-Bush posters from eight years ago.



Not even close

I'm not believing that one either.

***Is it not a knee-jerk reaction of the President to address the nation with his list of reactionary gun control measures the very day of the shooting?



The President addresses the nation after a tragedy and according to the gun lobby the sky is falling.

Better buy some more guns.

Naw, I don't need anymore guns. I pretty much have everything I had any interest in owning. Besides, they are expensive.

First I spent all my money on guns. Then I spent all my money getting ammo for each one (an AR with no ammo is as good as having a $1000 baseball bat). Then I spent all my money on scuba stuff, and now it's skydiving stuff.

You could probably reduce all gun violence in America by running an advertisement campaign promoting "gear intensive" sports like scuba diving, skydiving, aviation, racing, or mountain climbing.

If people can't afford guns because the choice is between replacing an expired AAD and getting a new pistol, the who cares what the gun laws are.

***You need a Harley.

Sold the Harley to buy a new rig. Any day that has good enough weather to ride, I'm at the DZ anyways.

Sold my browning hi-power. Just to buy a rig. Still regret that one.

Your rig will save your life every time you use it.

No, it'll save my life every time I use it correctly! Same could be said for my browning hi-power.

I traded a Sig P229 Equinox for a DUI dry suit in 2009. I got it chambered in .357 Sig, but bought a .40 Cal drop in barrel for it. It had never even been fired when I traded it.

That was the one and only time I used one of my guns as a barter. After that I adopted a buy, possibly trade gun for gun, but never sell policy.
