I'm joining the #BoycottTheStupidBoycott movement. I'll be joining the NRA AND buying a carbine that I don't need (and wouldn't have otherwise bought)--just because I can.
Talked to a couple of my like minded buddies yesterday. Tried to get into Cabelas but gave up it was too packed. Havent been an NRA member before or ever but joined up because they were pissed off. I told them the same thing Id rejoined and know of others doing the same.
I really dont think this will end like the left wants. Yes there is always emotion on both sides and the NRA probably gets a bounce when this happens. But Ive never been this disgusted before to the point of rejoining and advocating others to do so. And Im not alone.
Question for the anti gun nuts. What do you do with the people who already own guns such as the AR? Do you support the government coming in our homes and taking them?
The guns that are out there are water under the bridge. I would also support a buy back program. If someone has a gun that is banned in the future but is never "stolen", "lost", or used in a crime, then I don't care if they sleep with it every night until their death.
Let's do what we do with other activities that have negative externalities--try to internalize those externalities by making sure the cost of the item reflects the societal cost. Here's a brief discussion of the issue:
