Interesting. As time goes by, the left more and more abandons any semblance of truth in it's pursuit to destroy anything and everything related to the fundamental principles and traditions upon which our nation was founded. Their shameless audacity truly knows no bounds.

Recently, a columnist said the National Rifle Association is the "twin sibling of the National Socialist Worker's Party".

When liberals compare someone they don't like to a Nazi, it just shows their ignorance of history. After all, it's the National SOCIALIST Workers Party. Let's just look at some of the things Nazis and Democrats have in common:

Both believe in a big, all-pervasive government.

jBoth distrust the free market and believe in state control of the economy is the only way to ensure the wellbeing of the workers. (Nazis passed laws similar to OSHA and Family Leave Act decades before US did)

Both believe in state delivered healthcare and retirement.

Both worship the environment and want to push the country back to some mythical time where people were in harmony with the earth.

Both believe in world government, with their country calling the shots, of course!

Both believe in granting special rights and privileges to certain groups based on race. (Aryans/Minorities).

Both hate certain groups because of the alleged crimes they've committed in the past(Jews/Whites).

Both believe in thought control and thought crimes, and want a large, powerful police force to enforce it.

Both believe that "children are our future" and want to take away parental control in favor of state brainwashing.

I could go on, but I think you get the picture.

It really is OK for the left, liberals, democRATs to hate us (NRA members).

Why, because we have the guns and they don't.

"I intend to harm no one; neither do I intend to infringe upon the rights of anyone. But I will provide — myself — for the safety of my children."

My thoughts exactly. Since we began our family back in 1963 we have kept at least one firearm for defense. We rely upon the State for protection, but increasingly it cannot do so reliably. We are law abiding. But we see a growing need to protect ourselves from evil criminals, predators, and their ilk. Should any member of our family ever be harmed, we will allow the State one opportunity to "commit" justice. Should it fail, justice will still be done.

There are two sides actively trying to destroy the NRA. The left is on one side and gun owners who accuse the NRA of "not doing enough" on the other. I am not concerned about the left as I am about the gun owners who claim that the NRA isn't on the side of the Second Amendment. Instead of these other groups working to recruit new members from the people sitting on the sidelines, it sounds like they are trying to pull members from the largest and most effective group we have.

I would like to see the other groups explain how they are stopping gun control rather than one more article about how they think the NRA isn't doing what they want.

I remember reading the cited column and saying "Whoa!" Trenchant as this reply is, though, the NRA should have sued the Post for libel on behalf of all its members, rather than letting a spokesman merely critique the article.

Unfortunately, the NRA was (and is) intent on a failed policy of ingratiating itself with the Washington Establishment.
