is the NRA a Hoax?

[samsingh]

With all the hoaxes out there, i wonder if the nra is a hoax that just spiralled out of control and they're too afraid to fess up. Maybe it's time for them to come clean and admit it was all a hoax or a bet that they could get tens of millions of people to believe that the only answer to stopping gun violence was to put more guns in play. More violence, more guns. Until the argument could be made that there were already too many guns out there and any gun control wouldn't work because there were already too many guns out there.

who would have believed it?

3. In that the NRA tells its members lies and collects money on the untruth it is more than a hoax.

Much of the propaganda coming out of the office is not true. They are using fear to get members to pay the fees they use. In this organization it is again a 1%/99% thing again. They really represent the gun manufacturers. Not the majority of users.

4. it may have started as a hoax, dare or bet

it's like being in a bar and betting that you could get another patron to slap themselves AND pay you for the privilege.
