    I’m sure that there are some NRA members out there that actually look like the stereotypes that the cartoonists portray, but I’ve never actually seen one.

    There’s an ever so slight difference in a right to bear arms and a right to be armed to the teeth with high capacity, military grade assault rifles.

    If someone wants a rifle for hunting or a handgun to make him feel safer in his home, I support that 100%. However, I cannot support citizens owning AK-47s and so called “cop killer” bullets. There need to be sensible limits.

    The picture here looks very much like a friend of mine in Georgia who’s an avid NRAer.

    You just reminded me of my time in eastern Kentucky (Prestonburg area). There were some people there that looked like the stereotype, but I don’t think they could afford to join the NRA.

    Luckovich presents a funny take on how desperate republicans are to find new gun owners to trick into buying guns.
    Can we really call anyone in the NRA human? We certainly can’t call them brave or intelligent.

    Why anyone would want to restrict the rights of others to own property only speaks to a disrespect for that which is theirs.

    When we move past the “I believe it because Fox said it’s true” morons, and the misconceptions about the second amendment, and half baked notions of losing one’s property rights, we come to the fact that mental illness is on the rise, more and more “soldiers” return from ill conceived war zones with post traumatic stress syndromes and an unnatural comfort with assault weapons and the ability to turn off the innate moral imperative against the taking of human life. We are faced with a truly silly reluctance to regulate access to these weapons, as if, somehow, we are going to rise up against the U.S. military forces to “defend our freedom”, but, instead, we end up permitting unbalanced individuals to arm themselves and attack groups of people in the most relaxed and undefended situations, such as in schools or movie theaters or malls. I think a sane society would immediately make it harder for unbalanced personalities to acquire these weapons, whatever it takes, and it would certainly not respond to this crisis with the idea that the answer is in arming more people. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a sane society, witness the stupid responses above (and to come). We are in deep trouble over this issue.

    Let the animals shoot back at the hunters for a change.

    Appealing…but simplistic. It’s just a feel good “solution” that won’t work.

    Hunting; The only “sport” where one team does not even know they are playing until one of them gets shot…
