I'm not threatened by them, at least not directly. But I am concerned about any form of extremism. And these ...people... are extremists.

I'm not aware of the NRA advocating violence and destruction or an extreme change of life for every person on the planet, regardless of their wishes. I don't see the NRA trying to convince me that my child's life is equal to that of a dog, cat, or monkey.

For the record, I'm not a member and I think some of the people at the NRA are as wacky as the PETA people.

Can you cite otherwise? There is video of Rodney Coronado giving a demonstration on a college campus, at PETA expense teaching people how to make an incendiary device. How out of context is that?

They were never, ever handed to children--only people who looked to be at least 20 years old. We're they perhaps given to a 17-year old who looked 20? Perhaps, but I think a 17 year old will be able to get over it--just like you should.
I made the christmas tree referrence conditional for a reason. I wouldn't just shoot someone for no reason.

And why would the market it to a children's level unless they expected for it to end up in a child's hands?
