Your opinion is again refuted by a magazine full of facts to the contrary.  Sorry to again burst your ideological bubble

   It would help if you knew more about the NRA.

    It would also help if other defenders of civil rights were run so well as the NRA.

Yeah, too bad that the Civil Rights Movement did not rake in cash from merchandisers like the NRA creeps!

Yes , why not?

But the main income for the NRA is membership.

So the main driver of the NRA's improvement in income this year is not the phenomenal increase in gun sales , no, it is the phenomenal  increase in NRA memberships.

It isn't too late for Hillary and Barak to alarm more fence sitters and get them to take action.

Go Hillary , drive those NRA recruitments!

They make more from advertising and mailing lists than from membership dues.

This does not seem true , but if it were true, this would be proof that lots of people read that magazine. That lots of people are members. A voting block sized mailing list , a strong number of members all in agreement.

The basic difference between guns and other stuff consumers buy is that guns do not wear out, like toasters, they are not consumed, like Pop Tarts. If you buy one and take reasonable care to keep it dry, the fucking thing will last for centuries.

This is a problem to a company selling guns. They need to turn the guy who has just one gun to defend himself with into a collector, who has a variety of guns to defend against bad people. One gun for burglars, another for kidnappers, another  for prospective rapists, and a semi-automatic assault rifle should one be assaulted by Isis or Al Qaeda as the try to take over the PTA meeting.
 
Hunters might need a collection of weaponry: you would not have much to take to the taxidermist if you used your Grizzly Bear gun on a squirrel. But the self-styled Good Man with a Gun really needs just one gun.

So.....no link to your claim, right.  Figures

The basic difference between guns and other stuff consumers buy is that guns do not wear out, like toasters, .................

   Is that the problem?
    Insufficient planned obsolescence?

       This is a poor description of a problem , flimsy and poor quality guns used to be more available . Congress moved against the "Saturday night special" problem guns.

      Right now new guns that cost less than $300 are hard to find. If you have small funds you probably do without or buy an old beater.

      I knew a woman who was murdered , it is possible that a pistol would have saved her life and saved her son from injury. But she didn't have one . I don't think that anyone from congress ever called her family with apologies either.

And that's a GOOD thing.  Especially for those on the lower economic scale



 

[Xavier_Onassis]

Yeah, sure.

Affordable guns for the poor.
What could possibly go wrong?

[sirs]

I prefer to focus on what could go right.  (more lives saved with a gun, than those taken by some thug, rapist, or murderer).  I mean, if congress critters and hollywood libs can have them, in the form of armed guards, why the hell would you deprive someone who's poor from being able to defend themself with a guaranteed constitutional right??
