    A Conceptus is not a "baby" And certainly not a person

    The NRA has been complicit in the horrific firearm mortality rate of your nation and it has attempted to interfere in OUR politics here

    Prove that a fetus is not a person.

    No, criminals are responsible for the horrific firearm mortality. The NRA protects the right guaranteed by the Second Amendment. I know that you don't understand the importance of a Bill of Rights as Australia doesn't have one.

    Why do you constantly insist that what is in place in Oz would be able to be put in place here?

    that's silly nonsense. Your anti gun attitudes are not shared by most Americans. Again it really does look like there is an international movement to disarm free people by collectivist forces.

    Governor Cuomo has chosen to use his governmental authority to attack the free speech rights of a grass roots civil rights organization. That the totalitarian Left not only supports it but is happy about it shows the truth about their motivations.

    Utter nonsense. The NRA has lost its bearings.

    Pure fact. The protection of civil rights is THE priority. That you think believing such means the NRA "has lost its bearings" shows that you don't give a flip about civil rights or liberty.

    Bull.

    Let me preface this by stating that I support women's reproductive rights, and I recognize there are times when abortion is necessary.

    BUT...

    The abortion rights movement's efforts to dismiss the idea that a living thing is a living thing is nothing but rationalization so they don't have to really think about the moral and ethical issues intrinsic to this subject.

    Unsupportable nonsense devoid of either merit, or any basis in fact.

    If this nonsense is allowed to continue, perhaps Donald Trump should take the example of financially targeting and punishing his critics. What is good enough for one is apparently good enough for the other.

    I don't know. That's why I asked you.

    Why do you care if the NRA is 'off the rails'?

    Because it's an American institution I cared enough about to become a life member. Obviously.

    I asked you why the NRA 'going off the rails' affects you, as a member. I'm not sure why 'Wow' in any way answers that question.

    The manner of address on the part of yourself would suggest otherwise.

    Correct. A great deal of information can be garnered about a particular individual, based upon the manner of address that is utilized for the purpose of communicating with others. Their selection of words, types of expressions, overall tone, and a number of other factors all paint particular, specific pictures about the individual that choose to hide themselves behind specific linguistic mannerisms.

    @dave8383 seems to have some problem with the NRA, of which he is a member, but he hasn't actually articulated what they are doing that he disagrees with.
