You are seriously arguing that comments about a video posted online are supposed to mean something?
Have you ever even been to Youtube?
You got whooshed by a video online, Czarcasm. It’s happened to me before too. No biggie. Just admit it and move on.
Trying to grasp at straws to defend your misunderstanding isn’t a good idea.
No straw grasping here. Just observing the statements of both the supporters and the narrator. Are you saying that both they and he were wooshed also?
I think he’s overly found of saying people got wooshed. He claimed I did when I compared this video to the asinine crap PETA pulls.
Yeah. What the hell do the words of the narrator have to do with what’s on the video, anyway?
Anyone with half a brain sees that video for what it is: editorial commentary on the disparity of government & political policy approach to different things in the U.S.
Like certain things, not Constitutionally guaranteed/protected, practically being shoved down our throats by the government, while other things, which are Constitutionally guaranteed/protected, being treated as an ebola outbreak.
Trying to make the video in the OP into something it’s not is dishonest, agenda-driven drivel, with all the intellectual and emotional maturity of a five-year old.
It’s also what I’ve come to expect from the anti-gunners in general, and our dear, beloved OP in particular.
Can we do this without getting personal?
Yep.
The actual video, no. The NRA, itself, yes.
I’m sure it was satirical. But it wouldn’t be good satire if it wasn’t, in fact, reflecting actual NRA and other gun advocate thinking.
Maybe I’m too used to seeing things like libertarian SF which seriously postulates that all-armed societies are the way to go (L. Neil Smith, for instance) and that doesn’t accurately reflect the thinking of the whole open-carry activism movement?
Are you referring to loss of one hemisphere, or generalized atrophy leading to loss of half?
A little of column A, a little of column B…
Yes, the NRA is led by corporations, gun manufacturers, who are legally sociopaths (Their only legal concern is making more money for their shareholders without any concern for human feelings or needs because a corporation has no feelings or understanding of feelings, the very definition of a sociopath.) So the NRA is a bunch of heavily armed people led by sociopaths. Nothing could possibly go wrong there!
Oh, I dunno. It might be an indicator that the NRA attracts violent, sometimes murderous men the way the Catholic Church attracts pedophiles, and that these men inform its policies. Dowlut surely did. And there’s no denying that Dowlut was a violent man who shot people with guns … there seems to be no dispute about the shooting of Saul Berkowitz or Dowlut’s earlier crime spree with guns.
I see this claim repeated ad nauseum, and I’ve never seen a shred of proof that it’s literally true. Show me that the NRA is led, funded or supported by firearms manufacturers, or else you’re as credible as the temperance crusaders who claimed that the “wets” were in the pocket of the distilleries.
Of course it’s not true.
If the NRA is all about money, then they really suck at it, since they are tiny and insignificant from that perspective. Microsoft alone spends more money lobbying than the NRA does. Industries like big oil and technology spend orders of magnitude more than the gun rights lobby does.
Yes, because the only logical explanation for comparing this video to PETA is if you were whooshed by the video, as Czarcasm was.
Well they get some money from the gun industry, don’t they?
Just like Naral gets some money from abortion providers; or like how PETA gets *some[/] money from people who sell vegetarian options to eating meat or wearing fur.
How the gun industry funds the NRA
How the gun industry lobby differs from NRA membership
NRA as a former grassroots group now controlled by industry
That was easy.
Care to actually respond to what I’ve been saying…or would you rather listen to the wooshing?
Here’s what your cite actually says:
Wow. That’s a lot of money, even if it’s spread out over many years. I’m sure that’s the majority of the money they get, right?
Whoops. Looks like your cite says that your claim isn’t true at all. In fact most of the NRA’s money doesn’t come from gun manufacturers at all.
Did you not read it?
It’s right there in the OP you wrote. You haven’t backed down from it. You’ve doubled down on it. I’m not making this up.
