You may have seen this on Morning Joe. The NRA is running an ad against Joe Manchin of WV, who had a A rating from the NRA, because he supported expanded background checks. You know, the kind to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. The NRA hates that because they want criminals to have a ready supply of guns, particularly when they use them against urban people of color.
So here's the NRA ad.
Mansion, working with a black man and a Jew. The NRA has refashioned itself as the new KKK. Here we see them in action.
You can read about the ad on the Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/12/joe-manchin-nra-ad_n_3430529.html

(402 posts)I have always assumed the NRA is nothing more then a lobbying group for unethical gun manufactures much like Phillip morris is unethical with the way they present their products,They oppose any regulation on the access to guns because they love the huge profit margins from Mexican and South American drug cartels as well as the bulk buy at gun shows which in turn are sold on high crime streets.
The gun owner defender is a front, its all about that crime cash. The first person that buys the street guns has to pay above retail but after that price falls with each transaction until 13 year old kids can afford them. The NRA and their defenders like to deflect and say those guns are stolen and thats why they are cheap,but the real answer is when you are poor and need money you sale things on the cheap much like those that sale jewelry to pawnshops. The guns killing kids on the streets in the US are most often acquired from gun shows and gun show dealers.

(53,035 posts)That the gun cabal profits from criminality is the ONLY explanation for opposing background checks. I also suspect they have a goal to kill off as much of the population of color as they can in order to reestablish white male only rule in this country.
