The real question is: What is the source of their paranoia? Is it just the possibility of their right to guns being regulated or resticted?<br />
<br />
Or is it something much deeper, much more fundamental to our entire method of politics and it's theater that has produced this fear - and is it a fear that transects several constitutional issues at once - yet remains difficult to quantify?

<br />
On one level you are, I am sure, absolutely correct. I would bet most of the leadership and a vast majority of the membership of the NRA are staunch republicans.<br />
<br />
At the same time, the NRA has a large number of law enforcement officers among it's membership, you know, they guys charged with the repsonsibility of maintaining the peace at protests?<br />

<br />

<br />
I think that in itself makes it problematic for the NRA as an organization to advocate that kind of thing, because if one group can bring their guns to the protest, next it will be the skin heads, the kkk, marching in protest while heavily armed.<br />
<br />
It's a form of intimidation, one I'm sure that given time and reason, our society won't tolerate.<br />
<br />
Finally, the possibility is in fact very real, if showing up at protests bearing arms becomes the new fad, of someone instigating a violent shoot out. I put the probability of it happening at 100% if guns are accepted as a matter of course at protests of any kind around the country. That would bode well for the issue of guns rights, wouldn't it?<br />
<br />
It's in the NRA's own self interest to take a position on the issue. A very firm one.<br />
<br />
I hope with my letter I was able to phrase the argument in a way they can clearly understand. Then again, maybe not. They might not be able to think that far ahead. !!!FREE GUNS, BOOZE, CHANGE A…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2009-08-19:1991841:Comment:2671792009-08-19T17:48:21.200ZSlayer Dughttps://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/SlayerDug

I love Bernie too. I wish he ran for national office so we could all vote for him. I'd like to see him head up a viable Green Party that will give the Dems a real run for their money.

Silly Zen. Don't you know the NRA is never wrong? It's their goddamn right to walk around with assault rifles threatening pro-reform supporters.<br />

Bernie was one of a small handful in Congress who demanded answers on Gulf War Syndrome.<br />
<br />
He wanted to break up those companies that were <b>too big to fail</b> in the banking industry.<br />
<br />
Now he's pushing for single payer.<br />
<br />
I vote for him every chance I get.
