NRA Ignoring Immigration Threat To Gun Rights

Yet GOA seems to be the only gun group drawing attention to the issue. As David Codrea noted in a series of columns last year, the NRA avoids addressing the immigration issue like the plague. [More]
I repeat my challenge: It's incumbent on anyone who disagrees to refute this with more than mere opinion. If you have superior numbers, let's have 'em.

No "Yeah, buts." No phony "they're conservatives at heart." No changing the subject to the merits of stateless anarchy.

Address the damn numbers we're going to have to live with in the real world.

I stand with David.

"Conservative at heart". What does that even mean? Conservative except when it comes to voting?

What's wrong with stateless anarchy? No state, no dotgov infringement on your 2A guaranteed rights!

Okay, fine.

There's not much to refute. I *would* say that the psychology is not so much "anti-gun" as it is "pro-State," and if you have, as we do here, an anti-gun State, well, it does follow naturally then.

Do keep at least a bit of an eye on the various communities down south that have grown tired of State Worship and have taken matters into their own (armed) hands when it comes to clearing out the freelance criminals...

That said, I would also bet that if they see a chance for a State to save them, I'd bet the guns go right back to the police stations, and promises of State protection are, again, what the dotgovs here pride themselves on.

PS: I like the checkbox reCAPTCHA you've got going now!

The psychology is anti-gun:
"attitudes expressed by Hispanics show overwhelming rejection of pro-gun political sentiment. With only 25 percent favoring laws protecting the right to own guns, 71 percent want government to 'control ownership.'”
