I had to pause this a few times so I could laugh without missing anything. And I am a handgun owner. I am also a former card-carrying NRA member. While I do still own my gun, I tore up my NRA card about a year after receiving it (roughly 1988). Let me tell you that only when you become a member can you experience the full impact of how incredibly over-the-top this organization is. The literature I got from them in the mail would have been highly entertaining were it not for the unintended consequences brought about by NRA members who took everything they had to say as absolute gospel. To paraphrase: "Make sure that your children are armed when going to the theater, as they will be the only defense against any terrorist threat." And, "Turn shooting into a family outing." Or, "How to remain armed while travelling abroad." Anyway, this is possibly the funniest episode yet. From discovering that the NRA actually has their own version of HSN to that ominous narrator intoning: "...and her name is...Mary Jane." I have never even heard of NRA TV, but I may have to start watching it for laughs because John Oliver cannot produce content fast enough.

I once went through my dad’s NRA magazine with a pen. I pointed out incorrect information, fear mongering, and just general fuckery. Needless to say, my dad was annoyed

[@charlleedodson]

ALSO-RAN ! I definitely think the education system and mental health services need dire attention, as both a student and a person who has needed mental help before. I also think shooters names and faces, especially those with agendas such as the El Paso Shooter, names should not be on the news. I agree with you on those points. However, the NRA magazines are full of fear mongering, with statements such as people are coming for your guns, or you need guns to protect from immigrants coming across the border and things like that. I will admit that the left does fear monger about guns. But, like my dad always said, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” but that doesn’t mean that everyone should have access to a gun. There needs to be reform so it’s difficult for people to get ahold of dangerous weapons no matter what their intended use is. Besides, even if killers had to turn to knives or something, it will take them twice as long meaning they won’t be able to hurt as many people.

[@baronvonlimbourgh1716]

@ALSO-RAN ! has it really been "part of your identity" for generations? Or was it just a nescesity back in the day and when that disapeared it was turned into "the countries identity" by institutions like the NRA to keep up sales? People generally do not tie their identity to objects by themselves, especially if it concerns deadly objects, public relations usually does that for them.... By that logic atomic bombs and patriot missiles are also part of "the national identity" for generations now, and should be given to any maniac that wants one.

[@ailaG]

In my opinion, just because they'e a large consumer group. If you get a passionate group of people whose initials are AH and they're disturbingly excited about that, and you can convince a company that they'll get customers if you put them in your magazine, they can incentivize your readers and barter with you by giving you a discount which you will advertise on the "Our initials are AH" magazine. Products don't cost what they cost to make, there's revenue on top of that AND there's a safety net in case they don't sell. If I make 100k items, maybe 80k will sell, in which case 80k products should cost enough to cover the production cost of 100k. If I'm guaranteed that all 100k will sell, I can cut the premium on them. I don't know much about the NRAs, but as a secular Israeli I know that ultraorthodox supermarkets can be much cheaper because they're a captive audience and they have large families so they get discounts on products in bulk. Same principle, different (controversial) group.

[@sdporres]

Because those business want to attract the dollars of NRA members.

[@RoyalReyna]

Because the NRA is a heavy lobbyist, typically for conservative policies. These large companies like apple and amazon don't want to pay taxes, they also spend millions in lobbying. So they give members a discount to get in good with the NRA who in turn promotes conservatism and the Republican party, who keep them from having to actually pay their taxes, keep the wages low and the requirements for benefits low so that these companies can make more money at the expense of everyone else.

I just find it odd that for all the things to nitpick the NRA about here, and there are quite a few, there's people choosing to try to mock them for... actually being safe and responsible with their gun use in that situation. As for visiting a different country, can't really afford it.

I need to know lake dog’s backstory.

[@Widdekuu91]

+Nick Ruocco Your wish is my command. This is the story the man wanted to tell (I think.) Lake Dog is a dog that lives in a lake. One day, a patriotic American labrador named 'Murry Mc.Kah, was eating a cheeseburger with extra beef, when a bunch of vets came running in. "That dog is obese!", they screamed. "He looks like he's been fed American cheeseburgers and has been drinking Coca Cola! And he's laying around loaded guns in his doggy bed. He needs help!" But the last thing that 'Murry needed was a large healthcare-bill, so he barked loudly, grabbed his guns, unleashed himself ánd his anger upon the vets and then fleed the crime scéne. They weren't going to take his tempature ór his guns. Stupid vets. He went over to a beach, where he gathered sticks. (as he'd always done, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his-) When there were enough sticks, he build a raft, got on it and decided he'd flee from the corrupt government, untill the NRA had taken over the White House. He prepared himself for a ruff time, but over the course of a couple of days, he found that many people came over to give him food. He'd use the weapons to paddle around the beaches and soon, he became so used to his new life, that whenever people tried petting him, he'd bark and aim a gun, afraid they'd take this new lifestyle away from him. Ofcourse it got lonely as well, at times. But then, Murry would lay down on his back (play 'dead' like the vets were still doing) and play a game he called 'Shooting stars." One day, a large wave brought him into a creek, and that water went into a lake. But Murry didn't mind. It was a silent lake...só silent that he could hear his own whispering breath, echo around right before he fell asleep at night. But that's how he liked it. Nobody around, nobody hostile. No vets and no people. Just some old raft and the occassional sound of his own gunfire. Although after a while, the silence and darkness got to him. The sound of the echo's of the gunfire gave him chills. It kept up the temporary illusion that there was anóther gun around. Sometimes, when the water made a wave or a fish moved underneath the raft, the dog would jump up and empty an entire automatic magazine, just to calm himself down again. Some legends say, the lake dog is still there, drifting around at night, checking évery stone, évery tree. Sniffing for even the lightest scent of another human or animal. And if he finds them, he does't stop untill the body isn't recognizable anymore. Only then, Lake Dog can bring himself to calm down again.

[@whimsical_me5135]

My papa was a lifetime NRA member, he had a sign outside his house that said, "never mind the dog, beware of owner," and he meant it, he went hunting every chance he got and he had an animal head in every room. But he's also the one who taught me to respect firearms, always assume they're loaded, never point one at something you don't intend to shoot, etc. He was very comfortable with guns, but he viewed them as a tool, a way to get a job done, not as something you love. He loved his wife, his kids, his grandkids, beer and hunting, not necessarily in that order lol😋

in MY OPINION even Guns should get Guns.. so they could defend thereself against there user if he wants to abuse them and start a massshooting or rambo a school!!!
