Total and complete denial of the proven truth.
I'm not using the same sensationalist terminology you were using.
Yet you replied directly to my post that did use that terminology without mentioning that you considered it invalid. And I'm playing word games?
None of the organizations mentioned here are gun control organizations.
More sycophantic denial. After the mountain of evidence presented in this thread, all well-researched and served on a silver platter for people like you who refuse to do their own research on the matter(s), this amounts to nothing short of blind, lemming-like loyalty to an organization whose own upper-echelon leaders have admitted was a gun
control organization. Since there are some newcomers to the thread though, I will reiterate some of the more significant facts on this score.
The N R A-backed Gun Control Act of 1968 is a
direct rip-off of the Nazi Weapons Law of 1938 that, combined with lists from previous (1928) registration mandates, disarmed the Jews over the next couple of years, leaving them defenseless against Hitler's genocidal mania. Don't believe that's a valid conclusion? Let's explore it then, shall we?
First, for anyone willing to actually read the unvarnished truth, go to JPFO's website and read:
"Gun Control's Nazi Connection." For those who might not know, "JPFO" is an acronym for, "Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership." If any group of people on the face of the planet would know about Nazi connections to American gun control, clearly it is the Jewish people.
Then take a look at
Post #161 in this thread where the following was said:
"The NRA supported The National Firearms Act of 1934 which taxes and requires registration of such firearms as machine guns, sawed-off rifles and sawed-off shotguns. ... NRA support of Federal gun legislation did not stop with the earlier Dodd bills. It currently backs several Senate and House bills which, through amendment, would put new teeth into the National and Federal Firearms Acts." —American Rifleman, March 1968, P. 22
The "Dodd" referred to in the quote above is the late Senator Thomas J. Dodd, whom mimicked the Nazi Weapons Law of 1938, applied the underlying principles to the Gun Control Act of 1968, and took a leading role in getting his bills signed into law.
What Etkini says here tracks exactly with the JPFO link I just posted, only here, it is the N R A themselves saying that they supported the (Nazi-inspired) GCA '68 bill.
There are some other things Etkini said in that post that I may refer to later, but for now I just want to prove that everything he says in this excerpt is true. At the end of that post he said:
Don't believe me? Buy the issue yourself. Link Removed
Even though I believed him, I wanted to have that issue for occasions just like this, where sycophants try to tell me (and the rest of the board) that there's no truth to the assertion that the N R A is a gun
control .org, so I bought that specific issue that Etkini linked to. You can check the vendor's
Feedback Page if you think I'm lying or playing "word games." Search on "seekerrr" on that page. That's me, and I bought the above-referenced issue, and another one which proves from the gun-controlling-horse's own mouth that they are a gun
control .org. But I digress...
Here's a picture of the March, '68 cover that I just took:
And here's a scan of Page 22 that Etkini cites in Post #161:

And here's the same picture with the quote I cited from Etkini's post enlarged so everyone can see that he told the unvarnished truth about where it came from:

If anyone bothers to read
Post #161 and compare it to the scan of Page 22 above, they will find that not only did Etkini accurately quote from The American Rifleman, March, 1968 issue, but he was actually incomplete in his citations because that one page is simply
awash in gun-control-speak.
Some here have tried to say it doesn't matter what the N R A did 40 or 50 years ago, it only matters what they're doing today. Everyone who has read through this thread already knows that I can document N R A betrayals as recent as January of 20
13, and even more recent thanks to One78Shovel reminding me that the N R A is supporting a bill right here in Alabama that will severely weaken the protections we now enjoy in the form of a state supremacy law regarding
all issues on firearms. That bill goes to the Floor of the State Senate next week, so
that's how current I can get, and that affects me directly. It literally baffles me how or why anyone who is adversely affected by the
reams of N R A-supported gun
control laws at both the federal and state levels isn't
screaming from the mountaintops to warn their fellow citizens not to trust those traitors to the cause. But instead, what those who are get for their trouble is.....
I could disparage other organizations with inconvenient facts but I choose not to here because it would be self defeating and damaging to the common goal.
So he finally actually answered a direct question, unintentional though it may have been. Rhino thinks that me telling the truth about the N R A being a gun control .org is "disparaging" to them. It's not
supportive of the Constitution and/or the 2nd Amendment, it
disparages a gun control .org that has
earned every bit of criticism (or disparagement - whatever) that I've given them.
Further, Rhino contends that it is "...damaging to the common goal" for those truths to be exposed. Obviously, the goals he has in common with the N R A are counter to the goals that every 2nd Amendment
supporter should have. How could anyone deny that after finding out that the N R A supported all but a single provision of Hitler's own Nazi Weapons Law of 1938?
The only reason I can think of why any N R A sycophant would refer to "facts" as being "inconvenient" is because it is better to maintain the delusion that the N R A has goals in common with 2nd Amendment-supporting citizens rather than admit to having been mistaken for all these years. What other possible reason could there be?
It is truly baffling.....

PS: Prediction: Within the next 48 hours, there will be a post or five completely ignoring the substance of this post in favor of ranting about me being an anti-gun, Obama-loving, traitor-to-the-cause because I dared to tell the truth (again) about a phony sacred cow called the N R A. Bring it on sycophants, bring it on.
