It's nice to see the gun organization likes guns more than they hate trans people

Weird times when the NRA and trans people share a common goal.

The NRA is a lobby group for the gun industry, and maximizing revenue through gun sales.

This is a fucking golden moment for the NRA to get a flood of support (money spent on firearms) from the left.

They can use the identical rhetoric about the government being jackbooted thugs, but this time they'd be accurate instead of hyperbolic.

Next mental illness: empathy

Big talk. They endorsed Trump in 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rifle_Association#Elections

I'll believe it when I see it

Not surprising. In a civil war, the only one who wins is the person selling the guns.

I thought the NRA went bankrupt?

They have to get ahead of this. Because once it starts with trans, it'll move to another group with a bigger base. Guns gotta keep flowing for the NRA.

Whoa whoa whoa second amendment folks! Right? RIGHT?!

2A for all. If they've got guns, we should, too

I mean on the one hand, you shouldn't get brownie points for just doing the most basic.

On the other, thank fuck they're actually saying something. I would guess they are doing this bc they know this means if trans people can't buy guns, that's a loss in profits, but that's about the only thing that's going to get the wealthy to take any notice. (This is also why corporations should never have been considered people, but that's a topic for a different day).

I would not have called that one.

I'm positive the NRA supports the transgender ban. In their past they supported the Mulford Act when the Black Panthers were copwatching.

My bet is they'll say second amendment today to save face and instead push for any changes to be only related to diagnosed mental illness. Then they'll be silent when the transgender community is thrown into that category during a second legislative pass.

As a gun owner and enthusiast, I encourage all Americans to exercise their rights. Also, NRA can go to hell. They're just a huge money grab. I'm a GOA member myself.

Oppose as in, the same level of action against a ban that they have done for other restrictions in the past? Doubt.

Are they merely saying it? Or, ard they actually saying it? Basically, is their money behind it? Or, is this just a publicity stunt?

Don’t forget, on the firearm purchase application it asks if you currently or have ever smoked marijuana, which would exclude you from being allowed to purchase a weapon. I’d like to believe that question answered honestly would include almost every current firearm owner…so normal hypocrisy I suppose.

It's currently 1:10 AM in Moscow. Wait a few hours until they get new direction from Management ....
