ace--i don't think there's anything that is not clear in what i posted.
stop with this juvenile "whaddya call what obama's doing" bullshit.
i've had enough of it.
all i meant to argue is that the decision on the part of the nra to drift politically to the extreme right has undermined their ability to advocate their positions and not find themselves grouped with the far right of the republican party. if they really want to defend gun ownership in its absolutist form (all control=evil) then they made a mistake.
the reason i noted this self-evident fact (if you pay attention to such things in the empirical world) is that it hardly matters what the nra says about obama at this point because of the gamble they have made over the past years to alilgn with the far right.
so they're talking to a subset of the population that they hope to reach, and appeal mostly to folk like you, who need no convincing about this as gun control is one of the legion of republican-fabricated "wedge issues"...
