I am against permits to buy and purchase anything though. <br /><br />Jade,<br /><br />You are the one that teeters between "The NRA is the source of all known evil" to "the NRA is small and insignificant". Which is it with this post? You might have actually gone both ways in one comment?FatWhiteManhttp://fatwhiteman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-91077498304906108982010-07-13T21:47:10.525+02:002010-07-13T21:47:10.525+02:00TS: You really can't have it both ways.
Look...TS: You really can't have it both ways.<br /><br />Look, NRA gunloons are fond of pretending that their 4M members are monolithic in their beliefs. You guys like to bring this up as often as possible as if the NRA could bring 4M members (that don't exist) to bear on any issue they wish.<br /><br />OTOH, when confronted by the actual beliefs and agendas of the NRA--you are quick to maintain that you don't believe that at all.Jadegoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219212637582238275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-40160544216271138522010-07-13T20:15:58.350+02:002010-07-13T20:15:58.350+02:00Well, that’s the first time I have been mistaken f...Well, that’s the first time I have been mistaken for a fat white man ;)<br /><br />It is easier for gun controllers to lump us all into one stereotype gunloon and make vast assumptions on our positions.
