And your screen name is aptly chosen, given how you deliberately misrepresent my position. What a fucking surprise that a gun advocate would offer a dishonest argument in order to protect their precious guns.
The NRA directly benefits (in terms of endlessly growing legislative clout) and profits (in terms of endlessly growing gun sales) from terrorists' use of guns. This is a fact repeatedly demonstrated.
They catapult false propaganda about guns and gun safety in hope of protecting their profits and influence; they suppress actual science intended to study the medical and social impact of guns; and they exert direct influence over legislators and the media in order to enact their will. These are facts.
These facts are very different from an idiot racist fuckhead declaring whole nations to be terrorists.
My point, which you seem unwilling or unable to grasp, is that the NRA undertakes actions directly intended to benefit terrorists, and we are therefore justified in recognizing them as a terrorist organization.
You seem to imagine that such a thing is impossible. My example demonstrated that such designations are entirely possible
Arguing with a gun advocate is like drowning oneself in a tub of liquefied manure, so I'm done wasting my time with you and with all the rest.
The predictable eagerness with which gun advocates leap to protect their guns in the wake of each weekly mass shooting never fails to disgust me, yet for some stupid reason I engage again and again in hope that someday gun advocates might actually be able to look past their precious, precious guns and see the larger reality.
That day is not today.
