It gets you in trouble. Maybe Neonazi/white supremacist?

They do seem like a paranoid authoritarian outfit who want to control the conversation and thereby the outcome.

enough for comparison's sake. The NRA, the KKK, and other malignant, militant organizations, oppose a ban on almost any kind of weapons, and especially assault weapons.

This madness needs to stop, and a ban on all forms of semi-automatic, high capacity weapons would be a great start. There is absolutely no need, or place, for private militias in the USA, and those who support the idea of arming themselves for a possible shoot out with our own government are just as dangerous as white supremacists.

By that logic, we all should have supported the Iraq War because the KKK did in fact oppose the Iraq War.

The last thing the KKK would ever do would be to advocate gun ownership among nonwhites. Think about it.
