You have GOT to be kidding me???!!!

"You have been specially selected to represent your fellow gun owners in your community..."

Fellow gun owners?? I have never even touched a gun in my life. I know where this sh!t is going; ripped up in the garbage can :p

It is part of our heritage to own firearms. Are you opposed to firearms ownership, or just opposed to getting NRA mailings?

Part of our heritage...hmmmmmm, ok.....

Anyway, I'm opposed to firearms in general. I should be the LAST person getting NRA mailings;)

I know, I've been getting the same stuff only from Prez. Bush and DICK Cheney asking me to pay the republican party $2500 to have the pleasure of dining with them. Blah, you can tell I'm democrat :)

I firmly believe in my right to own and carry firearms. However, I don't like getting NRA crap in the mail either. I guess they assume that since I'm a gun owner, that makes me want to be part of their organization.

I'm not opposed to them, I just have no interest in joining.

Too late, I already ripped it apart while flashes appeared to me of Ben-Hur and his chariot of white horses racing around the colisium:D

Why would you be opposed to something you're completely unfamiliar with? At least go take a gun safety course so you know what it is you blindly hate.

What would you think of the person who said: "I have never even touched a black person in my life. Anyway, I'm opposed to African Americans in general. I should be the LAST person getting Civil Rights mailings."

It is your unfamiliarity that causes fear, and your fear that causes distaste.

Who said anything about HATE? I said that I'm opposed to firearms in general. I have absolutely NO use for one and neither does any of my family.

What would you think of the person who said: "I have never even touched a black person in my life. Anyway, I'm opposed to African Americans in general. I should be the LAST person getting Civil Rights mailings."

Comparing a deadly weapon to a group of people is stretching it a bit.

No, it's not. A gun is a tool like any other tool. It can be used for good, or bad. Having an opposition to something you're completely unfamilier with is an irrational reaction. It's often the same reaction racists have. They are racist because they are unfamilier with the people they hate, and therefore fear them.

What, so you're calling all black people "tools?" Racist! :p

How can you NOT be familiar with what a gun does? It doesn't take a rocket scientist. The fact of the matter is, I choose not to own one, I choose not to fire one, and I choose not to carry one. The fact that I would rather not receive NRA mailings backs up that.

I see nothing wrong with that idea. Some people don't like those that drive big SUV's. Well, that's their opinion.

Because just as you look both ways before you cross the street, you arm yourself in a dangerous world.

I agree with NFS4. You wanna own a small handgun and keep it in your home, thats fine with me.

Anymore than that, and you freedomhugging anarchists might as well move somewhere else where the rednecks all ride harleys equipped with missle launchers and terrorists attack daily because they're free to go wherever they want because the gov doesn't have the right to keep an eye on them. Why not? Its all about freedom right?

That's fine. I'm just pointing out that the vast majority of people I know who are anti-gun have never handled one, much less learned gun safety. All they know about guns is the greatly hyped BS from movies and TV. The ones that I have convinced to take gun safety courses DID change their views on gun ownership.

You may change your mind when you're house gets broken into at 2am and you can't defend your family. Or when you're approached leaving the theater at night, or in the parking lot after taking your family out to dinner, etc.
