Members don't see this ad.

and you aren't going to change the minds of people who still love this nation and value the foundations set by the framers through the constitution. Civil rights organizations like the NRA will never stop fighting the rising threat of authoritarianism.

This is why you guys are losing elections.

Holy downhill thread, Batman!

It's pretty interesting to see the effects of mass propaganda and mass group think. It causes people who usually cling to "evidence based" data to throw that philosophy completely out the window.

Indeed, it shows how easy it is to mislead people based on how data is presented and how confirmation bias leads to a lack of criticism or questioning of the interpretation.

The irony with some of these statements is delicious.

We are losing elections because American values and strong work ethic are a thing of the past. Everyone wants to be a victim, wants to be "marginalized" or whatever they call it. You have people who cannot even define what a woman is. You have people who think a person can change their gender. Common sense is a thing of the past.

Pretty interesting data showing that gun ownership has no relation to homicide rates. This is why the entire attack on our constitutional rights from mass shootings which are still exceedingly rare is complete bullocks. Sad to see people using the death of others for their political motivation.

While I'm going to ignore the Qanon level conspiracy theories and bombastic accusations made by Chud bc they are truly beyond the pale, I can't help but comment on that super well know "CIVIL RIGHTS" organization....The NRA.

I know he was serious about that assertion, but it made me literally LOL. As a former lifetime supporter of the NRA, they have become a far-right org led by a fringe minority of gun owners and backed by gun manufacturers. An org once at the center of quality advocacy and education for responsible gun ownership (hunting, sport shooting, et al) was dragged so far into the Swamp by LaPierre they now interact with Russian agents and push propaganda straight from Moscow, all for the benefit of billionaires and gun manufacturers. How is that a Civil Rights org exactly?

NRA still provide firearm safety training around the nation in all their branches. They fight to protect our 2nd amendment right to bear arms. Here comes the Russiaphobia and nonsensical conspiracy theories just because LaPierre dared to take a trip to Moscow and may have used some NRA funds. I guess I am a Russian propagandist as well since I often travel to Russia for hunting.
