But doesn't that amount to restricting your liberty? Nevermind the Second Amendment, it's a thing you (conceivably) want to buy with your own money and you can't.

If a Democrat had signed that, the wailing in the wilderness about it being the first step to total confiscation, would be deafening.

You seem somehow -- damned if I can figure out how anyone could -- to have missed that bump-stocks really had no friends anyway after Vegas.

As a human-rights organization, the NRA shows a lot of canniness along with its power. We clearly plan to outlast any madness of crowds that might ever militate against human rights and political liberties. Yeah, I'm a Life Member. And you? I'm also fond of the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. They make some irrefutable arguments than anyone with an interest should read.

A human right, say, not to endure a genocide is of great moment, saith the JPFO. It's also more readily construable from the text of the Fourth Amendment than even the right to, er, privacy -- and what a can of worms Google has made of that.

I'm not a life member of anything, I want the option of quitting if I don't like what they are doing.
There is no argument which is irrefutable, only shit you agree with. Why should I care what the Jews do is their country, they are an ally, not a friend.

Don't we all.

You can quit the NRA Lifer but they keep your money, so they don't care.

Bruce, you were living, breathing, and on occasion reading when Orwell's 1984 was in print -- correct? You didn't just come out of the cabbage leaf in 1997? Ignorance, dear condescendable boy, Is not Strength. You are instead much weakened by it, and your incorrect understanding of an NRA life membership -- well, it's anti-intelligent to get it that wrong no matter what your religion or religion-substitute -- ersatz is bad, very bad -- would have you believe -- unimpressive. Dear ignorant Bruce, do you think I *don't* have the option of quitting? -- I do. A Life Membership means I'm all paid up, get a monthly magazine, and can vote in NRA elections. They offer this franchise to members with this much skin in the game.

I don't get my attitudes from the NRA human-rights lobby -- I joined the NRA because of them.

Your understanding of the JPFO is just as defective: they're not some other country, they're Americans. Blessed with a very readable website in jpfo.org. They disapprove of genocides -- in a way that counts to prevent them. You do not. Shame on you. Really, this is the dumbest post you've ever written.

No, I haven't read 1984. I've got a pretty good idea what it's about from what I've read in references. Oh wait, I saw the Animal Farm movie, does that count? Life membership, paid up, so if you quit they don't give a rat's ass because they've got your money. Wonderful, they only skin you have in the game is what they're reaming out of your asshole.

You're right, I was thinking of the JDL, another enemy of the US.
The JPFO is a pisshole in a snowbank, having picked up the fallen torch of the former JPFO. Yelling the holocaust is coming, the holocaust is coming, doesn't cut it.

Not really. Right now, in Church Point, LA, I know of at least five prople who'd sell me a bump stock. Prohibitions and bans (here in America, anyway) tend to create black and gray markets.

"Nevermind the Second Amendment"

Yeah, as I've said before: I don't give a flip about the second.

"it's a thing you (conceivably) want to buy with your own money and you can't."

As I say: I know folks.
