Why we need the NRA more than ever before!

The NRA Just Gave a Whole New Take on the Meaning of ‘Black Lives Matter’

The latest video starts from the perspective of a woman who needs protection:

“I can’t afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood. I live in a government high rise and gang bangers and drug dealers walk down our hall every day.

My neighbors and I were scared. We call the police, but they can’t keep us safe.

But the housing authority told me if I bought a gun to protect myself they’d throw me to the streets.”

She states succinctly and powerfully what’s at stake:

“If I’m not free because of my address today, what makes you think you’ll be free tomorrow?”

The woman in the ad then put gun ownership in perspective:

“I marched behind Martin Luther King at Selma. I know my rights. Now I have my gun.”

Good for her, put those landlords on notice. Just because you own the property doesn't mean tenants don't have rights.

Can I be candid? I hate people who love guns. Not hate them, that's inaccurate. But I don't like that they think that they're actually protecting themselves. 99% fantasy, their thoughts about gun possession. Most of them will never be in a situation where they need a gun and the ones who do mostly won't be missed if they happen to be poor marksmen under siege. That said, I'm unconvinced that insulting them the way they deserve to be insulted (for their largely fictitious beliefs and extremely gun-inflated senses of bravado) will change things. I invite all of them to patrol Chicago.

I hate people who love guns.

At this point I just call them gun enthusiasts.

In the cycling world they would be the people in full spandex driving down the middle of a lane on a highway at 30 mph while grumbling about how automobile drivers need to be careful of cyclists.

WHOA. Bicycles don't kill people. People kill bicyclists.

Wow...that's stupid.
