In reply to the discussion: National Rifle Association blasts Texas’ open-carry protests as ‘dubious’ and ‘downright weird’ [View all]JackRiddler

As dimwitted and extreme as they are, it's sunk in for them that they're starting to lose ground on the narrative even among gun owners. This is a sign that they are confused & desperate, the fuckers.
As post #3 below here says... These protests a) look like dangerous psychos even to middle America and b) are making corporations turn against the NRA. They can't think it would be good if Walmart or the like took a stand against their members' moron psycho actions.
