I used to argue against such people as the Imperial Firearms Advisor, but this latest from the official NRA publication just makes me so damned angry. Here it is:
"Bearing Witness
Living in Arizona affords me the opportunity to keep and bear arms via open carry, or concealed with my permit. . . . "
Hold it. Back the truck up. No, you quasi moonbat. The Second Amendment recognizes your GOD GIVEN RIGHT to carry arms. It has nothing to do with whether or not you were lucky enough or damned enough to be born in a particular geographic are of the planet. Continue . . .
" . . . I am an NRA member and proudly display my NRA sticker on my winshield. I had to make a decision about displaying that sticker when my 17-year-old son earned his driver's license and began driving to school. He was told the NRA sticker had to be removed as it "advocates guns." I reluctantly removed the sticker."
Whoaaaaa! Explain to me again the part about, "proudly display my NRA sticker" ??? Bullshit. You pantywaist. You could have done any number of things. You could have contacted NRA's legal department, the ACLU or any number of organizations to fight this assault on your and your son's First Amendment Rights. You could have said, "screw you" and taken your son out of the government school and put him in a private school or homeschooled him.
But here is the ultimate insult. The NRA has been collecting money from me and millions of other people. What was their response to this travesty? They publish this guy's letter. They don't help him correct the wrong; instead they expect me to feel sorry for that moron and hopefully join in the pity party. No thanks.
And in the interest of full disclosure, here is the rest of the letter as published by NRA:
"I bear witness to the damage Michael Moore, excercising HIS First Amendment rights, has inflicted on MY First Amendment rights. It took 60 million years for God to create an animal with opposing thumbs, and it may take another 60 million for Michael Moore to get his out of his butt!" --William G. Bann, Scottsdale, AZ
You don't deserve any sympathy from anybody, William. You just rolled over. Don't blame Michael Moore. You didn't go to the school, or the superintendant, or the schoolboard. You just pulled out the razor and scraped it off.
But worse than that, you probably think it's cool that the NRA published your "testimony." No more dues from this guy. From now on, I'm sending my dollars to Gun Owners of America and Jews for The Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
