NRA to gunnutters: Stop being gunnutters.

Never thought I'd live to see the day the NRA thinks gunnutters are weird:



Fearing Rising Backlash, NRA Urges Gun Activists to Stand Down



Gunnutters and gun culture FTW!

Evidently the National Rifle Association has come to realize that none of this is good for business. In an extraordinary move on Friday, the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action—the organization's powerful lobbying arm in Washington—issued a lengthy statement seeking to distinguish between "responsible behavior" and "legal mandates." It told the Texas gun activists in no uncertain terms to stand down.

Quote:

"As gun owners, whether or not our decisions are dictated by the law, we are still accountable for them," the statement began. "If we exercise poor judgment, our decisions will have consequences…such as turning an undecided voter into an antigun voter because of causing that person fear or offense." The NRA praised the "robust gun culture" of Texas—which recently has loosened laws as aggressively as any state—but then laid into those Texans "who have crossed the line from enthusiasm to downright foolishness."

This hilited part is exactly why I chose to get out of the gun hobby; way too many of my felow gun owners were just downright crazy.



By the way, I can't wait to hear Ted Nugent's take on this.
