I suspect that they're even *less* deluded about who they are trying to help. Basically, they seem bent on doing us all a big favor in spite of ourselves. >>You think they give a sh** about the "right to keep and bear arms?" They >>care a WHOLE LOT about the "right to buy arms" - cuz they're part of >>the multibillion dollar industry. > >Oh no, not..a selfish industry! Out to make a profit! The bastards... I have no problem with making a profit. I do get irritated with folks who fund groups that wrap themselves in the flag and the constitution to drum up support for their profit. I'd be sick and disgusted if the tobacco industry tried to drum up support for pro-smoking campaigns by depicting smoking as a freedom-loving-fight-against-oppression kind of thing to do. "God, guts, and nicotine" and all that... Basically people are stupid. I know that, you know that, we all know that - but I hate having it rubbed in my face by braindamaged propaganda from either HCI or NRA. I run into more NRA propaganda than I do HCI stuff because I read more gun journals than I do anti-gun journals. mjr.
