Actually, I think Reba was spot on - I interpreted the message conveyed the same exact way.

Interesting. Of all the life-time members I know, none of them fit that description. I've never seen them at the NRA banquets either. My husband for sure doesn't fit that description either. Of course, I don't live in the boonies, so maybe it's different where you live.

My father, my brother and I don't live in the boonies either. We are not toothless rednecks either. :lol:

In fact, my brother was a nuclear engineer for the Navy.

So why did you use such a negative stereotype in your post?

Please note that none of my posts include silly stereotypes of gun control advocates. (And yes, I personally know some.)
 
He's not saying all life time members of the NRA are snaggle toothed and live in the boonies, he's talking specifically about the ones from the boonies, the hill billies, and yes for the most part they're pretty snaggle toothed and generally uneducated. So if you don't qualify as a cast member for Deliverance calm down he's not talking about you.


I don't feel like going back and finding the post to quote it but I want to touch in this......children cannot comprehend the while gun safety thing. You are giving children very little credit, have you ever been around kids? They're not stupid. Gun Safety isn't like abstract thinking, it's pretty straightforward and easily learned.

Stein is doing his own stereotyping. I'm liberal, and I have no problem with guns. See I do my own thinking, I don't "toe the party line" and just agree with everything my party says and does. I'm not the only one either.

Ironically, those kind of people wouldn't be life members of the NRA anyway because they aren't "joiners" of organizations, and also, they would never spend that much money for life membership. :lol:

BTW, I love Deliverance. :lol:

Yeah, stereotyping on any side of the game is lame.

I think very few people are fully liberal or conservative because we all have various areas of interest in our lives. People can be liberal socially and conservative fiscally, or vice versa, for example. Normal people usually have multi-dimensional lives.

I've been registered as an independent voter since I was old enough to vote. The only downside to that is I get phone calls and junk mail from both sides during campaign seasons. :lol:

It actually isn't "stereotyping" when it is absolutely true.

Are you attempting to tell me that the majority of progressive liberals are NOT attempting to push for gun control? You mean to tell me that Republicans are behind this push? because i somehow feel you have been a bit dishonest in your post.
 
You have a real problem with inserting your own words into other people's mouths. Yeah that's exactly what I meant -_- if that was what I wanted to say, I would have said it. You're telling yourself that, not me.

Are the "majority" pushing for it? I have no idea. Are ALL of them? No. You're putting them in a box, not me.

I actually didn't put any words in your mouth at all. If you "don't know", allow me to fill in the gaps. The "facts" are not putting a group of people "in a box" - they are facts - not stereotypes.

There are no Republican politicians pushing for gun confiscations or gun bans on AR 15s.

So ... what does that tell you?

April 25, 2013 The political M.O. for most red-state Democrats, especially those up for reelection next year, is to avoid issues that make them look liberal.

But after last week’s failed gun-control vote in the Senate, in which a handful of moderate Democrats defected from their party, a coalition of progressive groups is warning those at-risk incumbents to start avoiding votes that make them look too conservative. If not, these liberal activists say their support, enthusiasm, and contributions will dwindle—or, in a worst case for Democrats, they’ll mount a potentially damaging primary challenge.

The liberal anger is evident in threats from the Michael Bloomberg-funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns to run a months-long ad campaign against Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., who voted against expanding background checks. Or in declarations from an official at Organizing for Action, ostensibly the political arm of President Obama, to work against senators—including the four Democrats who opposed the measure.

Furthermore, I did not say "liberals", I said "PROGRESSIVE liberals" - those two words combined actually do mean something. And yes, I do fit all of them in a box.
