Listening to people preface anti-NRA statements with “I own a gun but” makes my skin crawl.
It is pretzel logic. I’m a good gun owner. I’m not like the crazies at the NRA. I don’t support the NRA.
Really? Did you buy your gun from a manufacturer not represented by the NRA? From a seller not represented by the NRA? Do you make your ammunition yourself?
Where do you think the NRA gets its money from? Whose agenda do you think it is pushing?
If you buy cigarettes, you are keeping the tobacco lobby in business.
If you buy cocaine, you are sending cash to drug cartels in South America.
If you buy a gun, you are supporting the NRA. Literally.
Do us all a favor and be honest about it.
