You may not like guns. But if an armed intruder breaks into your home, you will call someone with a gun, and hope they get their in time.

This is utter stupidity. The NRA has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with gun violence. And this argument has been presented over and over again on this forum, and is soundly rejected by right thinking people.

You have to be nuts.

As I've said, countless times, you just can't fix stupid.

The correct word is "their" children.

Your ignorance of American history, of firearms, of the NRA, and of lawful American gun owners is appalling. You base none of your rants on reality and facts. Rather, your ravings are totally irrational and come from wallowing in emotional reactions to gun violence and swallowing leftist anti-American hype. It is stunning how thoroughly you have been brainwashed. No one's fault but your own.

You have the right to remain stupid and refuse to grow a pair.
Anything you say will not be used against you in a mental health facility.
You have the right to consult a psychiatrist and to have a psychiatrist present during therapy now or in the future.
If you cannot afford a psychiatrist, tough shit.

And I, with my gun, will defend your right to remain stupid. Although I would much prefer that you, and all your sniveling hoplophobic comrades, would wake the f*ck up.

For all the good it will do, let me tell you some things about guns, the NRA, and what it means to be an American. And about being a kid with a gun.

Under my dad's supervision, I fired my first shot when I was FIVE YEARS OLD. By the time I was SEVEN YEARS OLD, he had taught me well enough that he gave me my first rifle. Since then, I have owned and operated hundreds of guns. I have shot them, cleaned them, maintained them, sold them, bought them, hunted with them, competed with them; I have done all this alone, with someone else, and in groups. Never once, through all those years, did I or anybody else I know injure or kill any human being. Our parents taught us well. The NRA had nothing to do with it.

Once in my life, as an adult, the one time I needed a gun, I didn't have one. I left my Colt AR15 Sporter in my truck to take a short hike in the Black Rock desert. About 500 yards from my truck, I was set upon by a pack of 7 wild dogs. I managed to fight them off with a solid stump of sagebrush, but not before they got their licks in. I had to slice up my shirt to bandage myself and I had to go through the Rabies treatment. If only I had taken my AR with me. Oh well, live and learn. As the man said, "It is better to have a gun and not need it than to not have a gun when you need one."

The NRA has firearm training programs for all ages. Many of its instructors are active duty or veteran police and military. NRA programs teach children what to do if they come upon a firearm (the Eddie Eagle program); NRA sponsors many Youth Shooting programs. Many, if not all, graduates of these programs are expert marksmen, responsible and highly disciplined shooters, and many of these become top competitors in any number of competitions--with handguns, rifles, and shotguns.

A short list of NRA shooting programs:

BROWNELLS/NRA NATIONAL YOUTH SHOOTING SPORTS AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
This program gives our Co-op Youth group partners -- Boy Scouts of America, National High School Rodeo Association, Royal Rangers, Venturing (BSA) and USA Shooting -- the opportunity to select the outstanding youth from their organization to represent them.

BROWNELLS/NRA DAY
Brownells/NRA Day events provide adults, youth, families, hunters, sportsmen, competitors - literally everyone - the opportunity to come together under a formal program to learn, experience, share, and grow in appreciation of the shooting sports. The event themes offered in the program are designed fordiscovery. They provide exposure to the many different activities available in shooting sports and offer participants the opportunity to explore them in a safe, controlled environment. The Brownells/NRA Day is a family affair! Everyone can attend!

3 GUN SHOOTING EVENTS
NRA Sports Activities are designed to introduce new and intermediate shooters to a safe, family fun, mildly competitive, recreational shooting event. These events revolve around the non-traditional action-packed, ever-popular 3 Gun competition, utilizing modern sporting rifles, shotguns and pistols.

YOUTH HUNTER EDUCATION CHALLENGE
Recognized as the most comprehensive youth hunting program anywhere in North America, the Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) is NRA's "graduate studies" program in outdoor skills and safety training for young hunters. Open only to those who have completed hunter-safety training at the state or provincial level, the program is conducted under simulated hunting conditions to provide the best practical environment for reinforcing and testing a young hunter's skills.

NATIONAL JUNIOR SHOOTING CAMPS
National Junior Shooting Camps, conducted at ranges around the country, provide a high quality training opportunity to junior shooters in rifle, pistol and shotgun disciplines. Top-level coaches in the appropriate discipline provide top-quality training for the athletes.

WINCHESTER/NRA MARKSMANSHIP QUALIFICATION PROGRAM
From a young shooter's first BB gun to sophisticated air rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, pistols, and rifles, the Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program offers family fun and enjoyment that can last a lifetime.

Qualification shooting is an informal, year-round recreational shooting activity that provides incentive awards for developing and improving marksmanship skills. It's a drill. We set the standards; you meet the challenge! Progression is self-paced and scores are challenging but attainable. Performance is measured against established par scores and any shooter who meets or exceeds those scores is entitled to the corresponding recognition awards for that rating.

NATIONAL YOUTH SHOOTING SPORTS COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
NRA has resources, programs and training to assist youth organizations, such as Boy Scout troops, Royal Ranger outposts, American Legion posts, JROTC units, 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, commercial summer camps and U.S. Jaycee chapters.

YOUTH EDUCATION SUMMIT
Forty-five outstanding current high school sophomores and juniors from across the United States are chosen each year to travel to the nation’s capital, where they participate in the weeklong educational opportunity. The summit encourages young adults to become active and knowledgeable U.S. citizens by learning about the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the federal government, and the importance of being active in civic affairs.

The NRA DOES NOT advocate, support, or in any way contribute to gun violence. Quite the contrary. But, you go ahead, bubba, vent your ignorant irrational frenzies, take us all to task for being law abiding American gun owners who are not in any way responsible for gun violence just because we own guns. Feed that bizarre demon in your skull with all the toxic shit you can come up with. But, keep this in mind. In those circumstances when the metal meets the meat, those of us with a gun will be ready.
