I do think the image of peaceful US citizens surrounded by a bunch of nuts with guns in the wake of recent shootings will not play well for the NRA.The NRA is going crazy because they are being pressed by gun groups that are even more hardiness.Until rational gun owners speak up, the wingnut voices will carry the day.

There was some show in the 60's called the Vigilantes.

I cannot find it right now.

Clint Eastwood did a few films on this subject.

Quantrill was a goddamnable Confederate as was Jesse James and a hundred other terrorists!

It is all in the perspective or propaganda as they say.

We lost.

No we did not!

That is what the KKK contended for years.

Now we have this NRA speaker telling us that the Civil War was a War of Northern Aggression even though the damned Confederates fired first. Lincoln made sure of that!

These people are revisionists who would turn the tide as it were.

Screw em!

It is like the teabaggers who dress up like Colonialists.

It is all crap.

Oh I get so damn mad!

hahahahah

All the revisionists wish to do is to sell more guns.

One of these bastards contended that we should store our ARMS in our children's closets.

I have not figured out how to respond to this crap.

that's all I got.

On a lazy Sunday where I'm watching video of an old western "Legend of the Golden Gun", the image of armed vigilantes appears. The story is about a man avenging his murdered family. The family was killed by Quantrill's Raiders a Confederacy sympathizing guerilla group that attacked border towns in Missouri and Kansas in an effort to remove those who did not want slavery in the new territories.

The avenger's companion was a well-spoken, book reading fugitive slave. The savagery of the attacks was mostly off-screen, but the danger of random groups of people with guns seeking to settle grievances with the government remained intact.

Interestingly, one of Quantrill's most trusted scouts was an African-American, John Noland. Noland attended reunions of Confederate soldier's after the war. We shouldn't be surprised if some African-Americans continue to support the NRA despite the increasing nuttiness of the organization. They, like John Noland do not represent majority Black opinion, but will be used to cover the racism.

The NRA solution of good guys with guns runs the large danger of vigilante groups answerable to no one. Quantrill did not always follow orders from Confederate leaders even after the group was mustered into the Confederacy.

Lotsa irony (and lots to think about as regards racism and guns) in this history about the "true pioneers of the modern pro-gun movement." This part from page two veers into funny, hopefully it will tempt all to click:

Governor Reagan told reporters that afternoon that he saw “no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.” He called guns a “ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will.” In a later press conference, Reagan said he didn’t “know of any sportsman who leaves his home with a gun to go out into the field to hunt or for target shooting who carries that gun loaded.”

That is because the glue that

That is because the glue that holds them together is racist kind. The 29% of the population that thinks there is going to be a revolution in the next 2 years is expressing their racist feelings.

Would not you think that these sombitches would at the least wish some appearance of propriety?

Where are the PR people in all of this?

A friend of mine is in Houston covering the NRA convention. She emailed me this fun fact: Number of non whites spotted after nine hours at NRA conference: 9. Number of non-whites who were not cleaners, shoe polishers etc: 0

That is why gun reform regulations is not dead. Groups that pose a threat always lose the argument with the US voter.
