It is the basic concept that it is the goal of government to control behavior in an attempt to create a Utopian society in the image of a set of people. It only works be forcing your way thru law on people.

People question the government getting involved at that level. Requiring posting of sugar and calorie content and people would have overwhelmingly supported that but the push to banning certain locations and types of soad size seams at is heart 100% un american.

About the NRA
Yes lots of democrats are members. Yes we prob only make up 10-15% of their membership at this time as they have started to not so subtly push us out. (NOBAMA stickers come on man) but yes. quite a few democrats own guns and are/were members of the nra. There are quite a few Democrat congress people who are/were NRA members. Yeah I dont like the non gun policy focus during election time the NRA dives into.

And wayne has spent time money and energy electing and keeping elected dems that support gun rights as well. Namely Harry Reid.


And no Being a member of the NRA is not against the rules i checked. And yes I was honest about my opinion on questioning renewal. And yes i remember 2008 and the very large number of NRA members who also were sportsmen (PC for Gun owners) for Obama. I was one of them
