NRA In Serious Trouble?

[Riflehunter1776]

I'm hanging on every word guys

lol. But seriously, studying the history of the USSR can give you valuable insight into the methods and motives of the American globalist left. International socialists might not call themselves the "Comintern" anymore, but if they quack like a duck.....

We weren't arguing on different sides. Just details.

Where would you say the the good'ol US of A is in the cycle? Give these forum perusers a real lesson.

I'm pessimistic. Yuri Bezmenov was right when he talked about the pervasive demoralization.
But for those who dont know Tytler:
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."

I think Grizz and Riflehunter is the same person arguing with himself....
Argumentatively....I think most of the people that died fighting for freedoms in Russia didnt like any of Russian rule.....that also includes people whom died fighting along with my grandfather......and American...and my unknown distant relatives from western Europe....

Well said...

If I had to guess I'd say we're somewhere between complacency and apathy, no?

I'm pessimistic as well. I think the speed with which information is transmitted today may have the ability to shorten the length of the cycle, and in combination with the lack of homogeneity of our diverse nation we introduce even greater social volatility. I think it leads to the state acquiring stronger, more expansive controls at a faster pace.

Russian history was always a tragedy. Soviet history was a nightmare.

My interest is that we never go down that path. That is why we have a 2nd Amendment. Even Solzhenitsyn said that "if only we had weapons" combined with the fortitude to resist, the terror could have been stopped.

Given what has been going on for the last couple of years, I am skeptical of the validity of this information.......particularly ANYTHING that originates in New York, with their ultra left values, corrupt politicians, and biased press. Disgruntled employees in a "New York" NRA office!!! .....Give me a break! The left has the unlimited support of billionaires like Bloomberg, and will use ANY means possible to destroy NRA, along with anything else that represents conservative values. The left believes with certainty that if the NRA(still, one of the most powerful lobbies in the country) is taken down, they will have substantially weaken the 2nd Amendment! Haven't we learned anything. The whole country has been mislead in numerous areas and played like a bunch of dopes........Let make certain this isn' one of those cases! IMO.

THIS .......

Far too many "patriots" bitching about the retarded bump stock ....

The real fight is here ...

LOL, no. Two separate guys.

And you're right about them not liking their government, because as you stated, they died fighting against it.

yes, both the speed and the *manipulation* of information are unprecedented. Orwell couldn't even imagine the control that we see now. And their ultimate goal is the unlimited power of the State, at the expense of individual liberty. 'One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.'

Apathy......"
lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern.
"widespread apathy among students"
synonyms: indifference, lack of interest, lack of enthusiasm, lack of concern, unconcern, uninterestedness, unresponsiveness, impassivity, passivity, passiveness, detachment, dispassion, dispassionateness, lack of involvement".....dictionary on phone.....

I believe with the way things have been.....starting in the Clinton administration.....we hit apathy long ago....
The common sense of the voting public has degraded....on the democratic side..............more concern for other countries and wasting our monies to the benefit of totalitarian rulers.....who pocketed our fundings for personal wealth.........

And I think that has came to view in our NRA....presidents....and Congressional....most are there only to benefit from government monies without lifting a finger to MAGA...

I think it is time to defund congressional employees of the federal government.....wouldnt that be cool........

For the last time, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the f***ing bumpstocks themselves... Jesus Christ people... How do yall not get the fact that it has to do with the precedent it set-forth for the next Democrat president to just "redefine" whatever parts they want to make anything become a "machine gun". And the fact that he did an ILLEGAL end-run around congress to redefine an already established legal definition creating criminals overnight for something they had legally purchased prior to the fact. Also, the fact that the government is demanding destruction or turnover, or face confiscation and criminal charges without compensation, which violates the 5th Amendment under the "Takings Clause".

I for one am glad O. North got ousted! He's nothing but a Cocaine Smuggler
and should be in prison! A "Hero" for who, El Chappo? All the NRA does is hassle you for more and more money!
Put them in your Will? They sent me an unsolicited DVD and then started dunning me to send a "Donation" I refused! Until they agree to leave me alone I'll never send them another dime!
