To NRA opponants:


Why do you people apotheosisize Hollywood? When the plot of every single movie you love revolves arond a gun:

1. I'm no opponent
But every movie I like doesn't revolve around a gun. Kind of a broad generalization don't you think?

8. My personal favorite movies:
1. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
2. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers
3. Groundhog Day
4. The Princess Bride
5. When Harry Met Sally
6. Henry V
7. Gladiator
8. Dead Again
9. Much Ado About Nothing
10. A Few Good Men

Strangely, none of them revolve around guns. Only "Dead Again" and "A Few Good Men" even show firearms on screen.

And to think I call myself a gun nut.

3. How about that no good repuke Schwarzenegger?
Opposes the right to own guns but his movies almost always have high powered weaponry and bombs.

Can you say HYPOCRITE?

4. Your post is confusing. The majority of Americans support the right
to keep and bear arms (RKBA) as their choice for exercising their inalienable right to defend self and property.

The NRA has only a few million members.

Clearly the majority of those who support RKBA are not members of NRA.

Suggest you rephrase your question or issue.

Is Mr. Jefferson. Need I say more. I swear to defend my "creator endowed rights" to the death.

To the secret service:

I will not do so lightly.

6. Not withstanding your avatar, your initial post is still confusing to me.
What issue are you raising?

It's long past time to retire the wild west.

9. The vast majority of Americans also correcly believe
that the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right to keep and bear arms.
