Oh they have risen up but they stand on the side of tyranny.
Not at all. They’re complicit.
The tyrannical government to them was one that recognizes women and minorities as real people worthy of respect and happiness. What we have now is the furthest from tyrannical to them we've been in a very long time.
You guys don't know the NRA is run by Russia?
It's a business. Like everything else... Like our government. It's all just the game. There needs to be a serious awakening.
You mean like the great awakening? /s
(I think thats the name for the qanon movement)
Q anon is manipulated. They think they are fighting the deep state or whatever but they are minions of the deep state. Look at them... Most of them are criminals and pedophiles manipulated and extorted by the deep state. That's how the game works. They are the enemy they claim to hate. QAnon has truth in it but QAnon IS the entity that it claims to hate... It's a psychological war. If that makes sense.
It's deep. It's the same for magas. They are working for or promoting the people they claim to hate. Many are victims of psychological warfare. They are the outcome of a psychological manipulation purposely used to support the agenda of the people that manipulated them, and the people that manipulated them are the human traffickers and organized criminals laced within politicians, businessmen, heartless world moguls.
I think OP’s “jk” is the important part here. They (meaning NRA leadership) do believe the Second Amendment exists primarily to allow the country’s citizenry to defend itself against a tyrannical government. I don’t think they believe the government that is happening right here is tyrannical, so they’re not hypocrites. Just because you think it is doesn’t mean they do.
As another commenter on this thread pointed out - they’re misogynistic. Just because they have a subsection of their website for lady gun owners, doesn’t mean that they think that women are equal to men. They are also racist (see Philando Castile and the NRA’s total lack of action on the murder by the state of a legal gun owner). LGBT folks? Indigenous people? People outside of USA’s territory that are on the receiving end of US state policy? Forget all of them entirely, despite tyrannized (by my measure).
As the NRA leadership belongs to a class of people (wealthy, White, male, probably cishet) who are not harmed by current GOP policies, actions, and stated future goals - no need for an armed revolution.
I type all of this as someone that thinks oppressed people should absolutely have access to firearms to defend themselves. The NRA does not represent the proletariat.
