John Richardson has reported what I’ve been meaning to cover, but haven’t had time to. A few lefty groups are giving three NRA board members a hard time for selling guns or gun accessories, claiming this is proof that NRA is in it for gun profits. Even though NRA has 76 board members, and they are all, each and every one of them, elected by the votes of NRA members.
If our opponents think these three board members means NRA is in bed with the interests of the gun industry, what does it mean that at least seven NRA board members (off the top of my head, there are probably more) are current or former law enforcement officers? What does that imply to the anti-gun movement?
It implies nothing.
If it did, it would mean their initial observation was incorrect. Thus, it is vastly easier to simply ignore the hypocrisy and plow on with fairy tales than it is to readjust one’s thinking.
Markie Marxist sez: “See! See! Those NRA guys are in it to make a profit! They’re capitalists! They’re capitalists! We caught them! We caught them!”
