The NRA

I just received my July, 2014 edition of American Rifleman. There are many fine articles on defending our 2nd amendment rights.

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is trying to buy elections and punish gun right politicians. Ever the mean-spirited Eastern elitist that seeks to tell us how to live, he is pouring 50 million dollars into campaigns to deprive us of our gun rights. Wayne LaPierre writes on Page 12: "What Bloomberg and his elitist cronies will never understand is what saves the Second Amendment is the tidal wave of support from the majority of the American people. And decade after decade, NRA has been their voice. We are millions of kindred spirits, good people who share a love for America and stand up for the values we hold dear in our hearts. We are the good guys." Amen

I disagree with LaPierre on one conclusion. I think these progressive ruling class types do recognize that the NRA has deep and wide popular support, but this gaggle of tyrants lie to the Press and independents by referring to the NRA as a puppet lobbying arm of gun manufacturers. To deny that gun rights advocates are the common people is a way of marginalizing gun owners and NRA. If they can discredit us, they can brainwash the masses to accept gun control and gun confiscation.

We must elect politicians that fight for freedom and gun rights. The rest can shut up.
