NRA Credits Sarah Palin for Boost in Female Membership

There are lots of folks among the progressive/liberal/leftist wing of the Democratic Party who would love nothing more than to see the Second Amendment gutted.In recent interviews this group's darling on the Supreme Court, Stephen Breyer, stated that he wants to eliminate guns used for self defense in homes and businesses. He went on to point out his view of the Second Amendment, i.e. gut it. As I read the article, I couldn't keep from saying out loud, "You hypocrite!!!!!" When this gentleman goes to the Supreme Court temple, he has armed guards patrolling the hallways and entrances. I would bet he has armed security keeping watch at his residence, but he doesn't want the average citizen to have this same privilege. Another hypocrite is Michael Bloomburg. He pushes his anti gun agenda, but he is surrounded by armed guards in his car, his office, and at his home. But NO--the Great Unwashed out there in heathenland should not be allowed to own guns. If these two gentlemen are so hostile to gun ownership, then they should eliminate their armed security details. I won't hold my breath until that happens. The is true when it comes to Hizzoner President Obama. He harbors hostility toward the 2nd Amendment, but he speaks carefully because in the neighborhood of 100 million of us own those pervidious firearms. His ridiculous comment about churchgoing gun owners shortly before the election had him and his campaign staff scrambling to put out the fire. I also add the likes of Feinstein, Schumer, Lautenberg, Durbin, and others who talk about radical gun control, but they too enjoy armed security in the Senate, the capital building, and the ground surrounding the Capital. These people don't realize that when they make anti Second Amendment comments and introduce draconian gun control bills in Congress, NRA membership increases by leaps and bounds. Finally, I will soon be 69 years of age and know many gun owners. They are all good, law abiding citizens.

The more Sarah Palin talks the more she sounds like she wants to start another civil war in this country. There have always been political adversaries in this country, but it has not included an obvious advocation of violence against the opposition Party, until this woman got behind a podium. When is she going to be challenged about her words, which are obviously meant to incite violence and terrorism?.

I thought needless gun ownership was going "out of style" and out of favor, for individuals in this country until the "lock and load" woman from Alaska came into the spotlight. I wonder if John McCain has nightmares about his part in putting her there. Ignorance is very, very dangerous, because the ignorant are not ever "aware" of just how much they DON'T KNOW. The ignorant can quickly gain a following, because our education system is so bad that millions of people will identify with it when they see it in someone else. It makes them feel like they can be accepted too. God help us all, if this tide of evil and violence keeps growing.

It's funny how things change. When I first met my wife all my guns had to go. Fast forward 25 years and she's
now an NRA member, practices shooting weekly, and the local gun shop knows her by first name. She finally realized that when seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

“The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.” - Thomas Jefferson

Sarah shows no fear of the Obama regime including the press. For more than two years, she has been THE target - putting herself in political harm’s way. For her, the cause is worth it. She earns her support.

For me, second to the word of God, the most important thing I can pass on to my children is liberty.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” - Ronald Reagan

I wonder how much the FORMER Governor is getting in kick backs from the NRA? We will never know, I feel certain the $$$ is going into one of her off shore accounts for herself.
Not for politics, or even her family.
Will she stand & cheer when one of the 10,000 women kill their own kid by leaving the gun unattended?
Will she shout "reload" when one of the new NRA members kills a Trick or Treater come Halloween?
I am sure with the money the NRA is giving her in cash, she will not feel badly when a woman shoots herself, or her husband, or the kids. THAT amount of money can be quite a good salve for the soul.

It is almost a necessity now, ever since Obama made a campaign announcement that he wants to develop a civilian security force that would be on a par with our military. That is quite scary to many of us.

Bruce, stop with the Palin/Beck talking points. In case you missed it, Obama opened more lands to hunters in his first year than your NRA-backed shrub ever did. Nobody is trying to take away your gun unless you are a felon or a psychopath. It is called sensible gun control...you get a background check for felonies and psycho-evaluations. Now, if you fall into those two categories, I can see why you'd hate sensible gun control.

There is quite a difference in the size of Alaska, and the United States. And, Ms. Palin did not even run out her term as Governor in Alaska. So what are you saying? I wish Sarah would run too, I wish she would run out of voice, run out of the US, run out of crosshairs, run out of rifles.......

Now, is that really something the NRA should brag about? I thought better of them.
