Wayne LaPierre, the well-compensated boss of the National Rifle Association, routinely warns of approaching tyranny against which “real” Americans must arm themselves. He’s wrong.
The tyranny’s already here. It’s the tyranny of the NRA itself.
Let’s do some math:
The NRA claims 5 million members. The United States has a population of 325 million. Thus, 1 in every 65 Americans belongs to the NRA. That means that 1.5 percent of the population has been able to impose its position on firearms on the other 98.5 percent of the population.
Sounds like tyranny to me.
What enables this dictatorship of the caliber-iat? A spineless Congress that puts re-election ahead of children’s lives, safe schools and the right to safety of law-abiding citizens.
SNIP
Will we, the people, ever be permitted to vote to express our views on weapons of mass murder? Of course not. Mr. LaPierre doesn’t like democracy that much. And Congress does as the NRA dictates.
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny.
We could lay the bodies of our massacred children on the lawn of the NRA headquarters in Virginia, and the NRA would just pull down the blinds.

Thanks for outing yourself once again, Ralph.
Used to like Ralph Peters. Too many years on the Washington cocktail circuit now. He is what he called Obama.
Peters is a screwball.
Ralph Peters endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Nuff said.
Hey Peters. Founding fathers,2nd amendment, go to Hell you swamper.
OTOH, he’d love to see us go to war with Russia.
The most animated and shrill I’ve ever seen Ralph Peters was when he was railing against Trump.
This is a great example of why the deep state is called stupid.
Ralph Peters has really gone off the deep end.
If the NRA has brainwashed Americans, they’ve done a good job of it - or have they?
Reality doesn’t correspond with Peters’ ravings about the NRA’s alleged dictatorial influence.
Used to like Ralph Peters but now I can’t stand the sound of his voice. He’s an a-hole and his books are unreadable too.
Thus, 1 in every 65 Americans belongs to the NRA. That means that 1.5 percent of the population has been able to impose its position on firearms on the other 98.5 percent of the population.
Peters doesn’t really want to go down that line of reasoning, does he? Think LGBTQZQQMVPPDQ.
this guys forgets those 5M people have family that agree with them.
He is wrong anyway. Constitutional rights have nothing to do with how many people there are—they are God given.
Good grief...the guy is a loon.
He is advocating The Tyranny of the Majority.
The NRA defending a Civil Right is a problem for him.
Time to get the Cattle Cars ready, right Mr. Peters?
Ralph Peters is featured as a “Conservative” military and foreign affairs analyst on the the conservative talk radio John Carlson show in Seattle. He’s a reliable NeverTrump, wars-without-end-or-goals mouthpiece for the swamp. I’m going to send this to Carlson and let him know that this is what he’s supporting when he lets this idiot rant on his show.
Or try the bathroom-challenged trannies.
He’s a neo con NY media whore opportunist. If Russia were to evaporate tomorrow, he would want immediate war with China.
Ralph, you are dumber than a pile of rocks.
ESAD, Ralph Peters. I could use a good laugh, you worthless turd.
