The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Pretti wasn't a peaceful protestor.

He came armed for a gun fight and he got exactly what he came for.

NRA is "armed for a gun fight". So, kill them all--RIGHT?

Your logic, your outcome.

WHAT DOES THE NRA SAY ???


Really quite surprising--but then NOT.

I went to the NRA site to submit the question to get THEIR response. Guess what?

THEY DO NOT PERMIT QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED.

NOWHERE on their site do they allow questions OR have posted replies to questions.

All they have are their prepared articles/postings, etc.

It DOES explain why they replicate fascist ideology and public contact so tightly. They KNOW their position(s) are not rationally tenable. So, NO QUESTIONS ALLOWED.

Anyone who is an NRA member (or considering it) needs to seriously reconsider what the NRA really IS--and WHY. A "free society" permits discussion with questions and replies. The NRA is NOT in favor of a "free society"--by their CHOICE about NOT allowing discussion, not by an arbitrary decision made without facts.

albaby was right to TRY to determine the source of being a RWNJ, but it is impossible to figure out a source when the RWNJs ignore questions because they can not RATIONALLY answer them. "Because I say so" is NOT a rational reply.
