Only if you've been fed a steady diet of hate and fear. 'Lil Wayne is only in it for himself and the gun manufacturers that he represents.

I really don't understand why any gun owner and sport shooter would support the NRA. They ceased being a hunting/sportsman organization in the '60s when they were taken over by the big money assholes.

The NRA has "moved on". They haven't been a sportsman's organization for years. They found a whole lot more money by representing the manufacturers and scaring the shit out of the 2nd Amendment types.

Other than that, the race is over.

The campaign and the election are merely formalities.

If the best the Democratic Party can do is Hillary and the GOP can't come up with anyone that can beat her, that I can stomach...................

I remember receiving an NRA bolt action rifle safety course thanks to the Boy Scouts.

Got a patch.

You and Finnbow probably were short sheeting other Scouts at the same Jamboree up in the Catoctins.

I remember when the NRA came to my high school in the 1970s to offer a "Gun Safety" course. Even though I didn't take it, I thought it was really cool of them to do that. I thought if guns are going to be legal in this country, then there should be a group that actively supports safe, responsible use of them. Now, I wish the NRA would shove a giant gun up it's bunghole and jerk the trigger. I liked what they were, but do not care much for what they have become.

Hillary is a long shot to me. Way too much baggage, way too much Hillary fatigue. Her shot was 8 years ago and Obie bumped her. I can't see her being elected now. If she gets the Dem nod, we are looking at a bagger appeaser in the white house.

When you've figured out how to short sheet a sleeping bag let me know.

I'm from northern Maryland, not southern.
