Trump to toss out gun rights for Trans people

@LordShadowfire Exactly.

@LordShadowfire Anybody surprised? The NRA was suddenly very pro gun control when the Black Panthers started patrolling their neighborhoods.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Would it surprise you to know that the NRA is actually standing behind trans people?

@LordShadowfire Depends. The general membership. Sure. They also support background checks, safety training, and gun control.


Unfortunately they have a second membership made up of gun manufacturers that have been the only ones that matter for decades.

The first group are just the suckers that finance the second group.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I really hope you're wrong. This article seems to think so.

@LordShadowfire I wish I was. I think it was the 70s when the created the corporate membership and what the general membership has wanted has been irrelevant ever since.

Sad but it explains alot.

@LordShadowfire I'm surprised the nra does, I mean don't get me wrong that's great on the nra's part if they do support trans people keeping their right to own guns.

But there used to be this site called meetthenra and this site wasn't just made up, it has links to news clippings, interviews etc where people who were on the board of the nra itself were like evil movie villains. I can't find it now but it was really thorough and well researched stuff


One person named bob barker who is on the board admitted in soldier of fortune magazine that he went to El Salvador to work out a deal with weapons and ended up going along with death squads.

There's some pretty shady people at the top, most of them are in their 80s now but they've done and said some pretty wild stuff. Most are very far right leaning.

The whole board has direct affiliations with far right militant govts worldwide. They've always favored far right government and helped over throw democratically elect leaders by providing weapons.

It's good the nra supports our freedoms but their board is cartoon villany literally.

@LordShadowfire The only thing is if it falls under a mental disability

@specman It doesn't and nearly all psychological associations say so

@SatanBurger then you have nothing to worry about. it will never happen. the nra will make sure of that.

@whowasthatmaskedman Hey I identify as a single white male. i am representing the minority of non mass shooters! lol

@specman I hope you're right. They're saying all the right things in the media.

@LordShadowfire This might be one instance where capitalism works in your favor. The NRA's corporate membership will not want to be cut off from what will likely be a growing demographic of customers.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Exactly. And it's also where the brainwashing of their members works in our favor. For decades, they've been pushing the message that the First Amendment means everybody has the right to have a gun. Suddenly running a message that is counter to that would enrage their members.
