Wayne La Pierre's speech yesterday at the far far right convention makes it perfectly clear that the NRA is now a wing of the republican party. Until now I didn't know that the NRA was a political organization. I was under the mistaken perception it was about gun safety, marksmanship and shooting sports and I was a democrat and a full fledged NRA member a couple of decades ago.
Now, the NRA leadership refers to me as an "elitist" who doesn't care about the gun slaughter of students on our campuses.
What Mr. La Pierre made very clear in his speech, is that democrat socialists like me are no longer welcome.
There are a lot of republican senators and congress people who are taking cash from the NRA and by so doing, signalling they are serving the interests of the NRA rather than their constituents.
And there are a lot of big corporations who offer major discounts to NRA members. That's political favoritism at work. AVIS, Enterprise, Budget and many more companies give special breaks to selected customers because of their NRA political affiliation. Another unfair political target to take down!!!
Let these bastards know how you feel about them favoring far right political activists -- NRA members.
Reality!
