Quote:I actually am not referring to the NRA at all, as after all, they have a limited agenda, which I agree with in about 50%.


I am referring to the general idea that people don't care much about the right to privacy, intrusion and invasion of their homes and possessions, until it is their own.

I am saying that people are just fine ignoring injustices in the justice system. Absolutely. On a mass scale.


As far as portraying gun crazies as backwood hicks, it is pretty well earned, so I don't know what to say. These folks paint the rest in a poor light. Back to the NRA, their leader does not help with this at all.

You haven't seen people out crying against the NSA and the mass surveillance programs, come on.
