The NRA Acts Delusional

If you believe in responsible gun ownership then “call your U.S. Representative and Senators at 202-224-3121 via the Capitol Switchboard” to let them know you approve of universal background checks and support two bills recently introduced in Congress, H.R. 8 and S. 42.

The NRA wants you call the above number to tell them otherwise, which I think is highly irresponsible on its part and puts the Second Amendment (2A) at risk. Moreover, either the NRA and its senior leadership team are delusional* or have deliberate ignorance (aka willful ignorance)** because they presume all gun owners are law abiding, which is why they oppose background checks. However, the spate of recent mass murders by gun owners as I have repeatedly documented over the past years proves otherwise.

If you are:

  1. A member of the NRA,
  2. An upstanding and law-abiding citizen,
  3. Respectful of others unalienable rights endowed by our creator,
  4. Want to protect the 2A, and
  5. Do not want mass murders and other low-lifes attached to an upstanding pro gun culture 

then call Jennifer Baker, Director of Public Affairs for NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, at (703) 267-3820 to let her and the NRA's senior leadership team that NRA should do more to promote responsible gun ownership and lawful transfer of gun ownership to another upstanding, law-abiding citizen so every Americans' unalienable rights will be better protected. 



* Delusional is defined as “holding idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder” by a Google search.

** Deliberate ignorance is the practice of refusing to consider or discuss logic or evidence disproving ideologically motivated positions per Conservapedia. Wow, what a definition.  Conservapedia should add the NRA's stance as an example as well to their definition, which I conveniently linked here.
