    Default It took more than 700 deaths over 20 years for Americans to finally dislike the NRA

    It took at least 87 mass shootings and 725 fatalities, but for the first time in 19 years, American opinion has finally turned on the National Rifle Association (NRA).

    According to a poll by Fox News (pdf, p.5) published yesterday (Aug. 14), 47% of Americans hold an unfavorable view of the NRA, versus 42% who hold a favorable one. That favorability rating is down from 49% in March (the previous iteration of this survey), and is likely a reaction to the latest string of mass shootings, which killed 31 people in Texas and Ohio earlier this month.

    I blame the Yugo!

    But on topic, what does the NRA have to do with the bullshit you're trying to spread, Cartoonkook?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    The amount of people who said they "can't say" how they feel about the NRA went up by 4%, which is almost the entire difference between those who said "favorable" in March vs. now. "Favorable" and "Unfavorable" are now approximately tied.

    That's not the American people "disliking" the NRA.

    It took back-to-back mass shootings COMBINED with the usual 24/7 media smear campaign against the NRA as the Anti-Christ to eek out this non-rejection of the NRA.

    Oh yeah, and polls are effortlessly manipulated horseshit. You can make them say ANYTHING you want.

    and yet, out of sheer stupidity, those same idiots can't bring themselves to hate governments after 242 MILLION deaths over the last century.........................so their opinion is pretty much shit
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Orchestrated mass killings by democrats will not change the second amendment! Does anyone wonder why the guy in El Paso didn't kill himself, how much did democrats pay him to stay alive, and claim he did what he did because he hated Mexicans?

    Socialists hate the freedoms guaranteed to the American people in our Bill of Rights.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    So it took 19 years for the FAKE media to DUPE the American public with false propaganda? What does the NRA have to do with any of these shootings? Do you know without cutting and pasting some moronic cartoon?

    I assure you; the NRA could care less what public opinion thinks. They serve their members who are desirous of preserving what is left of the second amendment.

    STFU Iolo Nazi sock.

    You should kill yourself. You're a nobody. You'll always be a nobody. You're a moron. You will always be a moron. No one will miss you. No one would care. The worlds collective IQ would increase and it would save the valuable oxygen you waste with every breath.
