NRA, gun industry once again mine profit from paranoia
In the health-care debate, we’ve all watched as the proudest single accomplishment of a self-described “severely conservative” Republican governor has somehow been transformed into proof of Marxist intent once that same plan was adopted by a Democratic president.
It’s political alchemy at its best. In fact, as testimony to the power of propaganda, that one’s hard to beat. It reminds us that if people really want to believe something — even something manifestly ridiculous, illogical and countermanded by facts — they will still find a way to do so.
But this example of that same phenomenon comes in a close second:
“Gun sales are soaring nationwide and retailers say that’s not unusual to see during a presidential election year. “Basically the situation you have now is 2008 all over again,” said Steven B. Drew, owner of Georgia Gun and Loan.
Analysts say the 2008 spike came from fear that new gun control legislation would make it more difficult to acquire firearms. “People were uncertain what the new president and the new administration was going to do so there tends to be a upsurge in fire arm sales in general,” said Drew.
Now, they are seeing it all over again. “A lot of people got guns and they certainly don’t want to be without ammo. If they think they are going to cut back on the ammunition they are going to stock pile it so they wont be out,” said Jackie Sizemore, the owner of Backwoods Outdoors.
Sizemore says his store has been busy. He’s constantly having to re-order guns and ammo to keep supplies on the shelves. “You’ll be out of a lot of goods, people will be waiting on a lot of stuff ,” he said.
Weapons like pistols and tactical weapons like AR-15s.
“Those are what you will find on the chopping block first they will do away with tactical type guns like that and high capacity magazines stuff like that,”he said.
In fact, Sizemore says he can barely keep AR-15s on the shelf. “Everybody will be out of AR 15s. You won’t be able to find them anywhere,” he said.
A screen-grab from the NRA's "gunbanobama.com" website.
As I’ve noted earlier, we’ve been through this before. During the 2008 campaign, Wayne LaPierre and the NRA warned gun owners that Barack Obama had a 10-point plan to confiscate all of their guns and ammunition.
Point One was supposed to be a federal ban on the use of guns for home defense. Point Three was a ban on the sale, manufacture and possession of handguns. Point Four was the closure of 90 percent of American gunshops. Federal taxes on guns and ammunition were supposed to go up 500 percent, and the sale of ammunition for hunting rifles was supposed to be banned altogether.
And of course, none of that ever happened. It was all tinfoil-hat stuff, manufactured to part the gullible from their money, and it worked spectacularly well. Based on a completely fabricated threat, the NRA and its sponsors in the gun industry terrified the suckers into buying huge quantities of the gun industry’s products. Ka-ching!
Now, you might think that people who get fooled so badly would learn a lesson from that humiliation. They might get wary of those who had played them for dummies. But once again, such thinking fails to account for the fact that sometimes people just want to be fooled, and if people want to be played for suckers there is no way on earth to help them.
Consider, if you will, LaPierre’s explanation for why that 10-point plan was never implemented. He now argues that the fact that Obama has done nothing regarding gun control — the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has even given Obama an “F” rating — in fact proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s a sinister gun-grabber.
And yes, that is actually the argument that they are using. And yes, that is the argument that is driving gun owners into the stores to buy still more guns. Like people lining up for a rollercoaster ride, they are scared because they want to be scared and, I suspect, even enjoy it at some level.
And the people scaring them are chuckling all the way to the bank.

The only reason there would be “nothing” is because the NRA wants everyone, even criminals and crazy people, to have guns…. good for sales! Even those who are convicted of assaulting law enforcement! Ohhhh… and by the way, federal laws will control under the NRA plan, state laws will be barred.

Historical tidbit about that paranoid NRA…
From Wikipedia,
“NRA formed a legislative affairs division in response to debate concerning passage of the National Firearms Act in 1934. NRA supported that act, the first major federal legislation about gun control, and also supported the Federal Firearms Act of 1938. The two acts created a system to license gun dealers and imposed very high taxes on the private ownership of automatic weapons (”machine guns”).”
“The Civilian Marksmanship Program was authorized by Congress in 1903 and run by the United States Army from 1916 to 1996 to transfer obsolete military firearms to United States civilians to learn and practice marksmanship skills with NRA so they would be skilled marksmen if later called on to serve in the U.S. military.”

The NRA has been shouting this same line for 30+ years. But as have some stated above, being fooled is some people’s national past time. I think NRA really stands for National Regurgitation Association and they trot out their confiscation drivel every few years. Let us not forget that paranoia has no bounds.

Yes, he did. Which Presidents Nixon and Ford largely set up, just as I said.
Do you seriously expect us to believe that President Carter set up, created and got Congress to approve an entire Cabinet-leve Federal Department in the first seven months he was in office? Really? Do you honestly expect us to believe that Washington works THAT fast? (laughing)
“Carter took it from an “office” to a Cabinet Level Department ………. He owns it !”
Funny now no Republican actually “owns” anything they do, but the minute a Democrat steps into office, all the mud and garbage on the floors and walls is their fault.
You’re just too partisan and credulous to be reliable, 0311. You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, but if you can delude yourself into thinking that Carter did all that by his lonesome in just seven months, then you’re just fooling yourself.

LOL at you Mendacious Mitt the Great “Hunter” voters!
His history is one of being rabidly pro gun control. The man is going to take your guns away from you!
In 1994, when he was challenging Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy, Romney supported two gun control measures — the Brady Bill, which required background checks for gun purchases, and a ban on certain types of assault weapons. Both were strongly opposed by most gun-rights advocates.
In a July 1994 question-and-answer session with voters arranged by the Boston Herald, Romney “reaffirmed” his support for both measures, the newspaper said. “I don’t think (the waiting period) will have a massive effect on crime, but I think it will have a positive effect,” Romney said.
In a subsequent interview published on Sept. 23, 1994, Romney said, “I don’t want special-interest groups making this their campaign. I don’t want their money. I don’t want their help. This is my race.” In the interview, Romney specifically mentioned gun-rights advocates, acknowledging that his stands on the two gun-control measures would put him at odds with such groups.
“That’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA,” he said, referring to the National Rifle Association. “I don’t line up with a lot of special interest groups.”
In his 2002 race for governor, Romney said during a debate against against Democrat Shannon O’Brien, “We have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them.”

And these equally unprincipled frauds who will vote for him deserve him as a candidate.
It is perfectly apropos…

Joseph – “Of course not… I take into consideration many issue’s. Social issue’s are very important to me….”
Then I don’t understand why you phrased the question the way you did. Social issues are important to us as well. Taxes aren’t the only consideration.

What are you saying Scout/ We should invade Syria and FORCE them to become our 51st state? I know that’s the Republican way, but it’s not the AMERICAN way.
Sounds more like something the German would have done back in the 1930’s and 40’s………

Why would anyone in the financial industry who avoids paying taxes vote for a Democrat?

joe mama- Are taxes the only thing that matter to you when choosing a candidate to support?
You’re a racist if you don’t vote for the black man.
Don’t forget, if you’re successful, thank your congressman be cause you had nothing to do with it.

Hey WoodstockMike…are you really that stupid or do you just think we are? If you listen to Obama’s ‘entire’ comment…the one that wasn’t ’selectively’ edited…and can’t understand what was meant, then Cherokee County needs to overhaul how their teaching English and you need to stop skinnin your ignorance…or is it just prejudice?

Approximately 30,000 people are killed every year in America by guns. Clearly, guns are dangerous and you would think manufacturers would be careful about producing such a product. Instead, the NRA and gun manufacturers are doing everything possible to discredit gun laws and place as many weapons in American homes as possible. People with reasonable intelligence can see that these sociopathics are interested only in profit and are incapable of caring anything about human life. This puts you cons here who support the NRA 100% in a truly dubious position.

There would be less “need” for guns if the leftist including the Brady morons and mayor Bloomers would get off the agenda of eliminating the 2nd amendment! It was placed in the Constitution as a barrier to the formation of a tyrant central government! An armed citizenry has to be respected, although, the socialist in the last 100 years have done all they can to block it!!

JKL — “You’re a racist if you don’t vote for the black man.”
I don’t think anyone here has said or thought such a thing, but thank you foor bringing that out into the light. It helps to present a good contrast between conservatives and liberals.
Speaking of racism, are there going to be any Romney campaign ads that depict the President with a bone through his nose, or are y’all just going to keep that stuff to e-mail messages like you did before?

Good thing no one actually said or thought anything like that.

I waited for one for over 20 years of my voting life. The Republicans finally gave me several.

I guess this is an example of “liberal indoctrination in the government schools” I’ve been hearing so much about.
