"We're excited about NRA Online," says NRA Treasurer Woody Phillips. "So many people have requested a high-quality, pro-gun alternative to the mass market ISPs that we felt the time was right to launch one."

Heh, how many of you have complaints about your ISP because they aren't pro-gun?

It must have been created in response to the outrage NRA members felt when realizing that the connection instructions other ISPS used contained multi-syllabic words.

It wasn't that people desired a "progun" ISP, per se. It was that AT&T, AO-HELL, Earthlink, and a few other ISP's were found to be making sizable donations to antigun organizations and politicians, in addition to policies forbidding any members to use personal webspace for any type of 'gun-centric' webpage, whether or not there was anything illegal being advocated, promoted, or condoned.

BlipBlop, sounds like a little censorship going on there, doesn't it? But, of course, that doesn't matter since it's censorship of pro-gun talk, right?

Exactly.

Pornography? Acceptable. Drug culture promotion? Encouraged. Celebration of a serial murderer's life story and accomplishments? A-OK. Paranoid conspiracy theories? Absolutely. Antigun advocacy no matter how fantastically inaccurate or misleading? Bring it on.

But the history of rifles used in the US Military? No way, it doesn't meet AOL's "high standards". heh
