I don't know about that. Like, remember the biggest laugh line in "Mars Attacks" was that one demented old lady pointing and laughing because the aliens shot Congress? Shooting Congress can be funny, and we shouldn't dismiss that out of hand because laughter is the best medicine and pretty soon a lot of people won't have healthcare.

Nah, they are just furiously engaging in the identity politics and culture war bullshit the right loves to blame on the left.

Happy to see the left finally freaked the gently caress out enough to start fighting back, though.

I BELIEVE IN STUPID CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Article: NRA TV hosts warn ‘white families’ will be ‘tortured and killed’ if Black Lives Matter succeeds

quote:

Stinchfield began a segment on his show by noting that “race relations are strained here in America after eight years of Barack Obama,” although he conceded that they are “nowhere is near as bad as it is in South Africa where white families are being tortured and killed almost every day in racist violence.”

That said, Stinchfield’s guest, Chuck Holton, cautioned viewers to remain vigilant because Black Lives Matter activists could stoke enough animosity to inspire similar violence against white people in the United States.

At 2:40, the host adds, "It is very hard to get a firearm now in South Africa to protect yourself and many of these people being victimized need this kind of protection."

I'm absolutely sure that they would have been completely behind black people being armed for protection during apartheid.

you're allowed to make guns. if you make like 500 guns and sell them all without filing taxes for it the government's going to want a word. they want $200 if you make a bazooka, unless you're white, in which case they want to confiscate your bazooka and break it down for miscegenating supplies as per sharia law.

Conservative political pundit and National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch took on The New York Times in a video posted by the NRA on Friday in which she says "we're coming for you."

"We're going to laser-focus on your so-called 'honest pursuit of truth.' In short, we're coming for you," Loesch said in the video. "Consider this a shot across your proverbial bow."

I would support the NRA if it was focused on lowering the price of guns and ammunition for gun owners, instead of trying to raise prices by whipping up paranoia to benefit the gun-and-ammo industry and their own organization.

The NRA is also doing some idiotic balkanizing and stirring up dumb poo poo in competitive shooting matches that have been going on for literally more than a century.

Apparently they've been getting high off their own paranoia supply lately.

Last time I looked at the membership perks and it was ... a sticker or something, and a subscription to American Rifleman ... and a guarantee your money will be well spent on some lunatic right-wing causes. No thanks. The least they could do is give me a subsidy toward my next gun purchase or some free ammo.
