Florida – -(AmmoLand.com)- In a 2/14/19 article by Julia Manchester posted on The Hill, the reporter says that, “The Giffords Law Center, a gun control advocacy group, found in a poll one month after the Parkland shooting last year that 69 percent of National Rifle Association members expressed support” for gun control.
That is FALSE. That statement and any claims by the Gifford gun control advocacy organization about polling of NRA members is patently untrue. Let me say that another way: in all probability, it is an intentional and calculated lie designed to deceive honest people.
For years, gun control advocates have been talking about bogus surveys that claim NRA members support gun control. The fact is that none of those surveys had access to the NRA’s membership list – EVER. They are intentionally misrepresenting NRA members’ views.
NRA’s membership list is protected and ONLY NRA can survey NRA members.
In the past, to expose these false claims by gun banners, NRA has commissioned national scientific surveys — 1,000 randomly selected NRA members across the country — and found that NRA members are united on Second Amendment issues.
Here are the REAL views of NRA members:
- over 92% oppose background checks on sales between private citizens.
- 89% oppose banning so-called “assault weapons”.
- 93% oppose gun registration.
- 91% SUPPORT laws to keep guns out of the hands of people with mental illnesses.
REMEMBER, the only legitimate surveys of NRA members in existence are surveys conducted by the National Rifle Association. PERIOD.
Anytime the gun banners or anti-gun media reporters start talking about surveys that show what NRA members believe, want, support, or think, you should immediately know it’s BOGUS – NOT TRUE.
When it comes to gun rights, remember, it’s more than guns it’s Freedom – and The Giffords Law Center is a gun control advocacy group formed for the purpose of creating, advocating for and passing restrictive anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment legislation.
ERPO is a flagrant violation of Due Process. The Constitution expressly forbids that.
When pollsters call me and get around to asking about guns in my house, I always tell them we have no guns in the house. Why would I want the government to know if I have guns?
Favorite tool of the soviet communists were ERPOs. If you disagreed with the party line, you were deemed psychiatrically unfit, and were either locked up, sent to the concentration Gulag, or murdered by government agents. Sound like something that recently happened in Maryland? Thank NRA for pushing this bull shit, all in the spirit of compromise of an inalienable right. This is the time to arm up and organize, not kiss communist democrat ass. Also, don’t forget that political dummies arise from and get voted into office by dummy constituents. Just because they have a prepoderance of population in democrat… Read more »

Marion Hammer denying the obvious shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone. Lots of innocent blood on this woman’s hands folks. responsible gun owners embrace gun safety. Hammer embraces gun sales and death with her eight grader jingoism, fraud and “guns everywhere” mentality.
What? Are you another Fudd? Or simply a commie troll?
Hey Moron, Marion Hammer defends the Secind Amendmwnt – period. And, Marion is a MAN. Shows what YOU know dumbass…
I can’t tell if you are being serious or not.
Yes. Yes we do embrace gun safety. 1) ALL guns are ALWAYS loaded. Treat them as such. 2) NEVER point a gun at anything you’re not willing to. destroy. 3) ALWAYS keep your finger OFF the trigger until your sights are on the target. 4) ALWAYS be sure of your target and what lies beyond it. I’m not aware of any blood on MISTER Hammer’s hands, but the lying anti-constitution crowd will NEVER get their hands clean. Also I’m perplexed at your apparent opposition to the proliferation of firearms amongst law abiding citizens, aka; The Good Guys. Oh, and let… Read more »
I wish it was that simple, but if it was the alarm would be going off every second of every day for as far into the future as anyone can see.
The fact that NRA supported bump stock ban and ERPO’s is why when the NRA call me to renew I said I prefer the GOA. NRA doesn’t represent me………..
In what should be a surprise to no one, once again NRA shills, cannot or refuse to answer basic questions.
Usually when you try and argue something you say “ okay what are the points that will be raised to counter this” and then proceed to come up with counter arguments. However the NRA Shills can’t seem to do that, yet at the same time promote that what they’re doing is tactical and strategic.
“over 92% oppose background checks on sales between private citizens.
89% oppose banning so-called “assault weapons”.
93% oppose gun registration.
91% SUPPORT laws to keep guns out of the hands of people with mental illnesses.”
So you’re saying less than 10% of members support the anti-gun policies of the NRA’s leadership other than the illegal denyal of human rights to those the government has targeted and deemed mentally ill?
The 92% statement is a LIE! 92% of Americans do not support any background checks – – – These lists have been PROVEN to lead to LISTS of REGISTRATION by GOVERNMENT – – even though it IS UNLAWFUL for these lists to exist!!!! Maryland State Police has a REGISTRATION list of all weapons bought since 1968, that I know of. The Police in Maryland also have a LIST of concealed gun carriers from other states. Ask the gentleman from the South that was stopped and harangued while traveling through the Harbor Tunnel.
People need to be aware of how poll questions are presented. Example: Is gun control important? the pollster will list your answer, yes or no, as yes for more control laws. I would like to see question about mental illnesses. I think there are too many citizens already have been reduced to sub citizens by loss of firearm rights. The types of mental illness is almost many as types of people. The results of violent acts by the criminally insane are the same as acts committed by any criminal. Neither should have possession of weapons, but they can. No law… Read more »
anti-2a d-suckers are all liars, can’t help themselves. they’d claim to have female equipment while standing @ a urinal and using it.
Considering the NRA is pushing for Red Flag laws and pushed for action on Bump stocks, as well as pushed the FIX NICS Bill that killed reciprocity, I believe that that number is low.
Also Republicans feel like they can support red flag laws with no. Onsequences.
Yes JMR, As the NRA pole indicates 91% of it’s members, including myself, support to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. That is one of the reasons we support ERPOs when properly applied. Call it ERPO, or whatever this is an issue that is close to many patriotic Americans. Yes, consequences should be dire if one reports a false clam.
Who decides who is mentally ill? And why are those deemed to mentally ill to be allowed to own a firearm free to own a car? Or free to roam around? Why do we need another bill saying poor mental health can lead to confiscation when we already have a law that does that? How does one argue that what another person “feels” is false? When did we change from a society that believes innocent until proven guilty to guilty until proven innocent? Why should people who are mentally ill not be allowed to defend themselves? How do you determine… Read more »
“Who decides who is mentally ill?”
obviously you have not met my family. when people say things that they can not possibly believe is true, that’s a clue. when people start an argument at a rate of one per minute, 960 times a day, that’s a hint. when the same person asks you the same question 50 times a day, that right there is a robust maybe, baby.
So you’re saying you have the authority to determine who’s mentally ill?
Being so full of oneself and lacking empathy is a sign is psychopathy, a mental illness. You sir are mentally unfit, lacking empathy is dangerous, therefore you are unfit to own firearms, according to Red Flag Laws anyways.
Also, please answer all the questions.
I have had family members that drove me crazy too lol.. I think I can see what you’re saying!
.. but for the sake of argument, any one fit for a straight jacket shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun… And they can still file the ERPO laws where the sun doesn’t shine!
So Explainist you say that you have family that you KNOW ARE MENTALLY ILL and you didn’t have them evaluated, certified, and committed to an institution? You believing that the government should be tasked with finding, and dealing with the mentally ill when YOU could have and should have done YOUR duty to your family and your community to keep them safe? Am I hearing you right, that YOU want to shirk YOUR moral duties, and pass it off to the government? you don’t speak for me, and YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!
WRONG, GWD you don’t speak for me and say “we support ERPOs” I do not support ERPO’s. Please link the NRA pole for us to read.
ERPOs or RED FLAG LAWs are DANGEROUS. Just ask the gentleman in Montgomery County in Maryland. OH! I forgot. He cannot answer any questions. He has been permanently silenced by the Law. The Police SHOT and KILLED him when they went and “served” the ERPO.
