Don’t ask me how I got on this insane low-rent mailing list. Gee, Whatever happened to the NRA? I’ve never heard of this group, the National Association for Gun Rights. I can’t figure out how the yahoo paranoids, worried about losing their guns, make this batsh*t stuff up about this President. He’s hardly declared any “war on your guns” while in office. But fundraising goals must be met, and so the NAGRs has Rand Paul hawking for it…

Dear Pam: Just a quick note to let you know how important your membership is in the National Association for Gun Rights. NAGR is the fastest growing and most effective gun rights group in America. I’m a member, and you should be too! Sincerely, For liberty, From: Dudley Brown

Pam, We have an incumbent Democrat President desperate to hold on to the White House in 2012, but his approval numbers are in the basement. He knows the only chance he has at re-election is to mobilize every liberal interest group in America by throwing them a bone before next year’s November elections. After all, if gun-grabbers simply stay home on Election Day 2012, President Obama knows he’ll be toast. You have been a critical part of the National Association for Gun Rights’ efforts to hold off the worst of the gun-grabbers’ assaults. But as Thomas Jefferson said, “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” You see, you and I could have more at stake in 2012 than ever before. The rumors I’m hearing floating around Capitol Hill for the next Congress — combined with what you and I are both reading in the news media right now — sure aren’t pretty. That’s why I’m asking you point-blank today to give more than you’ve ever given — $35 — to become an official member of the National Association for Gun Rights for 2012. In fact, if you can afford it, please consider becoming a lifetime member with a one-time contribution of $1000! |
By the way, that’s not the end of the e-blast; it goes on for pages and pages of right-wing garbage, though I was very entertained by this bit of business blasting the Republicans for bedding down with the “gun-grabbers:
After all, the gun-grabbers’ number-one priority — the United Nations’ so-called “Small Arms Treaty” — doesn’t even need to pass the Republican-controlled House to be ratified.
This dangerous Hillary Clinton-backed Treaty is nothing more than a massive GLOBAL gun control scheme designed to register, ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens.
And our one hope to defeat the U.N.’s so-called “Small Arms Treaty” — the U.S. Senate — is chock full of old “establishment GOP” types like Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Susan Collins (R-ME), John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsay Graham (R-SC).

‘Tis the season. Somehow, I got on the email list of the “Conservative Action Alerts” and they gush about some of the most bat-sh*t crazy stuff I’ve ever read. A few days ago, one came in warning conservative America to plan NOW for the disasters at the end of 2012, which will be caused not by the “end” of the Mayan calendar but by the re-election of a foreign-born Muslim atheist (which, somehow, the Mayans predicted; they weren’t clear on this point, but it is all somehow related.) So buy guns, practice shooting and take classes in how to survive off the grid because the Libruls are coming for you reel soon!!!!
The one I got this morning is all about Judge Kagan, and how the President has been desperately stacking the Supreme Court so that “Obamacare” will pass and he can implement his Marxist plan to impose communism on the country.
Crimeny, I wouldn’t make this kind of insanity up if I wanted to.
…looks like some sort of phishing expedition to me, Pam.
Wow. “Gun-grabbers.” Lindsay Graham and John McCain, in bed with the gun-grabbers.
These people really are…insert your fave phrase here…
I plan to visit my very elderly Republican mother in January. I do not look forward to seeing the daily storm of this kind of insane mail she gets. They must hire fiction writers to do their direct mailings.
Is that even possible?
They created NAGR so they could lie to their black co workers and say “No, we aren’t racists, we’re discussing our pro gun group.”
Thanks Pam. As you know, after Dick Cheney tried to violate Posse Comitatus (iirc he wanted to send troops to Buffalo) a lot more liberals and progressives became more supportive of the Second Amendment.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The NRA is just a fund raising front for itself. Their fundraising nightmare has been their success. In order to continue to be relevant, they have to push for more extreme measures, automatic weapons, conceal and carry; open carry, larger magazines, grenades…..
In the link below NAGR opposes legislation that the NRA supports. A lot of the militias want to de-fund local police forces. Once everyone is “packing,” who needs 911? As a way to push back against the NRA, law enforcement especially may be a target of NAGR membeship drives. #worthwhatyoupaidforit
House approves bill making travel easier for gun owners.
The gun and ammo industry loves President Obama bc he’s been nothing but a huge honking goldmine for ‘em… stoking up utterly unfounded, useless & illogical FEAR amongst bigoted know-nothings is GREAT for bidness…
And NOW we know who is buying off AynRand Paul… Mr. AynRand Everyone Should be a *Self-Reliant* Gun Nut Paul.
Thanks for the info. Well worth knowing, methinks.
No doubt the NAGR makes TONS of from pandering to bigots, as I guess, so does Mr. Paul.
In any movement, there is a radical faction that breaks off. The NRA is apparently too sane for them.
The organization that wants children, drunks and the blind to own guns is too sane for these people?
Does this organization exist outside of mental hospitals?
The NAGR is not a registered lobbyist. It’s just Dudley Brown, and his attorney Luke Odell.
All the gun owners (message boards) are on to them. They suggest you don’t donate.
Don’t you just hate it when a missive like this, already pandering, goes on to say “You see….”
Now 200 and some years on the price of freedom might be getting rid of the stupid, arcane – Rules of the Most Deliberative Body (Awesome!) Ever – so that 1 person representing a single State of less than 2% of the population of God’s Greatest Country with the other Real Americans (or 302,000,000 of us [million for you non-traders]) doesn’t control the agenda of our Kenyan-Muslim-Socialist takeover of gun rights using surveillance drones and marijuana/cordite sniffing rottweilers.
Muslim atheist
Is that even possible?
Of course it is, he doesn’t believe in the Muslim god.
Ask the right wing nutters who claim that Obama is a Muslim and then, less than a minute later, are insisting that he’s a militant atheist.
I’ve heard Obama called this by some conservatives that I know. Is it a so-called “Muslim atheist” possible? Appears to be what some conservatives believe. Just saying…
I don’t know how many of you actually run in circles with firearms enthusiasts, but I do, and most of the sentiment I encounter (once I wash away the Fox dung) is that they see the government getting more and more lawless and militant. They know the government knows about their firearms for the most part, and they know they haven’t spent their lives being shy about their anti-government beliefs. So ultimately they see all these civil liberties abuses and think they’re probably next on the list for targeting by the DHS or some other agency.
By and large I don’t really blame them for having that perspective.
Nail + head
Just a money scam IMO.
Maybe, but they are still be played by the guns & ammo industries to part with their Benjamen$, usually for waaaay more guns ‘n ammo than they need based on a largely ginned up “crisis.” JHMO, of course.
Indeed. I ran into this shortly after Obama’s election. I couldn’t get any 9mm ammunition at all, almost no matter what the price. Finally crates of ammunition started to show up for sale from people who had purchased comical amounts (often multiple crates), and when they found themselves short on cash they started selling it off.
I was a lucky beneficiary of this situation. Managed to pick up a thousand rounds for cheap.
Pam, here’s some comic relief for you:
