>Why do people keep assuming that I'm with the NRA? Perhaps I am one of the guilty of assuming you agree with NRA. NRA's propaganda focusses on a rather unique kind of "THEY want to take your GUNS AWAY" kind of attitude, with a flag-waving bent, and the idea that having guns helps keep you free. >Is NRA your smear for anyone who opposes gun control? Remember, they had >strict gun control in Nazi Germany. But, nawwww, it couldn't happen *here*. See? This is what I tend to dismiss as a symptom of NRA propaganda brainwipe. Anyone who has any understanding of how political oppression and/or revolution are carried out is going to realize that gun control has next to nothing to do with what happened in Nazi Germany, or where have you. The reason that the Nazis got as far as they did was because people sat and let it happen. Whether they had guns or not was completely irrelevant because they had neither the courage of their convictions not the will to resist what was happening. mjr.
