ISIS And The NRA: Similarities Abound (it will take a long time to count the lies in this one)

Contentious as it might sound, there are significant similarities between the Islamic State terrorist organization, ISIS, and the National Rifle Association (NRA). Of course there are differences as well, but examining issues of congruence adds another dimension to the gun violence controversy.

The most important parallels between ISIS and the NRA are:

• Institutionally, both organizations are remorseless about the deaths of victims
  
• Both use fear and intimidation to obtain their objectives
  
• Both assume their ideology is superior to the wishes of the majority of citizens
  
• Both have intensely loyal followers
  
• Both recruit and indoctrinate members who are ignorant of the basic facts
  
• Both are relatively small organizations that have impact far beyond their size
  
• Neither organization will apologize for the harm they cause

Sounds less like the NRA and more like the Pro-Choice people.

Goebbels (Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany) giving a speech in Berlin (1934). This hand gesture was used while delivering a warning or threat. Like Hitler, Goebbels practiced his public speaking skills in front of a mirror.

Exactly. The Left is the perfect example of projection. I will add, however, that the Left an ISIS are alike in even more ways:

Both seek top-down, complete control of the individual.

Both seek to dehumanize women, rejecting Chivalry and the role of Mary in Christianity.

Both seem to be obsessed with sex in one form or another.

There is, however, one difference: ISIS believes in a God.

Mr. Alexander, have you not heard of a “search engine”?

According to a small arms survey in 2007, there are 112 guns in the U.S. per every 100 people in the U.S. And, since the population of the U.S. is some 300,000,000 Our search engine informs us that the membership of the NRA is only 1.41% of the U.S. population.

Contrast these two facts up against your pathetic arguments, half truths and outright lies and we can easily conclude your article is just a little on the “I hate guns” side ergo it is a fantasy and utterly lacking in reality.

But, a Lefty like you does not give a damn about facts. To you their purpose is to distort. Why don’t you write a fact based article about how many guns are used by impressionable young adults and juveniles because of inspiration derived from watching uber violent computer games and movies produced by your fellow lefties in Hollywood? My guess you will find these “lefties” responsible for far more blood on American streets than the NRA.

Then write an article on how many mass shootings were done by democrats? Answer, all of them! So, if you really want to reduce mass shootings and the murder rate, start agitating for laws outlawing gun ownership by Democrats!

Then, when your done with that! Surely all Democrat politicians in the US, federal, state or local, that have armed body guards, will gleefully tell them to turn in their guns too!

Bottom line Mr. Alexander is that you are an idiot and you waste ink and people’s time with supercilious arguments.

What happened to “The NRA are Nazis”?

[ozzymandus]

That list could apply directly to Hillary.

[IronJack]

Yeah, you remember all those NRA members beheading people, planting bombs, raping women? You know ... THOSE NRA members.

Contentious as it might sound, the communist HuffPost is full od $HIT!

[RWB Patriot]

I hope they bring this to their facebook page. It’ll be fun to tear down.

And for the record, if the huffy post were a physical newspaper, I wouldn’t use it to pick up a cockroach.

[TigersEye]

Yeah, you remember all those NRA members beheading people, planting bombs, raping women? You know ... THOSE NRA members.

And that's just what I get done before lunch!

[Twinkie]

Planned Parenthood?

[IronJack]

I usually leave the beheadings for weekends. During the week, I like to rape and pillage, then go to the shooting range and wreak havoc. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I go to bomb-making class, and on Monday nights I help drown orphans.

Wednesdays are bowling nights.

[Axenolith]

Huffpo, once again claiming the high ground on hosting vile pieces of libtardian s***!

[Trod Upon]

Maybe a class action of NRA members suing under a group libel theory. The organization itself is basically a public figure, but not so the individual members.

[smokingfrog]

I only joined the NRA because they threatened to kill me and my family. /s

[libstripper]

You have to own a full size SUV in which you keep a carry gun. The best thing of all about such a combination vehicle is it and its gun regularly go out on their own to terrorize communities and wipe out whole kindergarten classes of innocent little black kids.

[Spok]

They rant about the ‘gun lobby’ as though gun owners who vote don’t exist. I’m sorry, but I’m a gun owner who supports pro-gun, donates pro-gun and votes pro-gun. I MUST BE THE FRIGGIN’ ‘GUN LOBBY’!

[ully2]

Might have known it was Hufpo.

[sig226]

I hope she dies slowly and painfully.

[Enlightened1]

Yep you can say that about ISIS and the DNC
