Is the NRA in financial trouble?
I have been a member in the past, but currently am not. The NRA has done a lot of good things since their conception. However, the NRA has behaved foolishly in more recent times (i.e. jumping on the anti-"bump-fire" bandwagon right after the LV shooting). An "old-timer" once told me years ago that an American should not have to belong to any organization to protect a right that is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Since then, I have been of that opinion.

I'm sure they were all paid to protest
Anti-gun protesters were bused to the state house in the capitol city of Montgomery, Alabama today to voice their disdain for the NRA, guns, chainsaw bayonets, blah, blah, blah, blah. It is difficult for me to complain because the majority of Alabamians do not march to the beat of that sort of drum and actions such as these, like those of Waters, Warren, Pelosi, etc., only encourage "fence-riders" not to vote "DEMONRAT". It is the same old song, just a different verse. I saw one "wild-eyed" libtard carrying a sign which read "BAN 3-D GUNS and BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS". I really do not wish to rant and or rave against this MSM smoke and mirror campaign of late whose purpose is to sow the seeds of dissension and fear within the American populace about an issue that will never come to fruition, but I will offer some food for thought. The further purpose of this campaign is to cause division among the citizenry, introduce fear into the ignorant, divert attention to REAL issues, and bring the left closer to their goals of stricter gun control and eventual banning of firearms. Every MSM news outlet for the last few days has blared this fear mongering message, yet not one of the talking heads has attempted to explain the "mechanics" of building a 3-D gun. In a nutshell, the computerized milling technology exists, but does the average American possess the resources to obtain/implement complicated springs, case hardened steel (extractors and such), etc. which would withstand the rigors and pressures of such a homemade gun? Of course, they do not. Most people I know could probably build a "zip gun" or some other crude firearm that would function, but I have to come to the sad reality that I cannot crank out a MG42, Colt Peacemaker, or Model 94 Winchester on my wife's Hewlitt-Packard printer. Neither can I go to the local public library and build a similar gun (as the media suggests that can be manufactured on the printer there). If these idiots were truly concerned about human life, they would decry the almost nightly homicides committed in REAL cities such as Birmingham, Alabama by black folks killing black folks with REAL guns which were REALLY legally obtained by law-abiding REAL Americans that ultimately to ended up in the hands of REAL felons (more times than not) and are used to REALLY kill the hell out of their fellow man who more times than not are not REALLY men, but mere children. These REAL shootings are usually the end result of disputes over important things such as shoes, jackets, and caps. All too often REALLY innocent people are shot and sometimes killed in the course of these shooting (this weekend in the HAM there was two innocents killed during "drive bys". In summary most of us here realize that the preservation of human life is not REALLY the motivating factor of the communists who attend "anti-gun" rallies such as the one in Montgomery today.

Sadly, almost half the voters in the United States are this ignorant
I love it when the interviewer asks how "social-democracy" should be funded.
I saw this first at Free North Carolina
The mindset and answers from some of the mental giants being interviewed reminded me of this joke I heard twenty years ago. When I tell it today, I substitute liberal and conservative for demokrat and Republican for obvious reasons.
A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Republican!"
"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."
The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am, replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."
