Ain’t No Party Like An NRA Party

‘Cause At An NRA Party People Wave Guns Around Like A Bunch Of Jackasses, And Other Gun News

Over the weekend the National Rifle Association held its annual Gun Fetishization and Circle Jerk for Dim-Bulb Paranoids. The lucky host city was Indianapolis, which saw itself invaded by 70,000 armed lunatics for three days of strutting jingoism and fear-mongering. Ghoulish death-head Wayne LaPierre showed up to give the very same speech that he gave at CPAC last month, which seems appropriate, since the NRA convention is basically CPAC with weaponry. Towards the end of the speech, LaPierre showed a television commercial that has to be seen to be believed (It starts at about 17:05 in the above video). As a bonus, it stars Wonkette favorite Mr. Colion Noir, who we are sad to see has yet to find a director who can get him to tone down the overly dramatic line readings.

Did you feel it? Do you believe in America again?

After LaPierre, the usual band of shitwitted politicians took to the podium to pander to this armed band of donkey-fucking nut bags. Mitch McConnell popped by, though apparently he left the Revolutionary War musket he showed off at CPAC at home. Quite a few of the potential losers to Hillary Clinton in 2016 made speeches, including Mike Pence, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal, because when you think of manly gun-toting tough guys, you definitely think of the Hindu version of Kenneth the Page.

The greatest speech of the weekend belonged to Sarah Palin, the Dipshit of Denali herself, who popped by to tell everyone that if she were in charge, “waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.” Remembering that she is not in fact in charge of anything, sphincters across the country immediately unclenched.

1. Best line in the article:

"Ghoulish death-head Wayne LaPierre showed up to give the very same speech that he gave at CPAC last month, which seems appropriate, since the NRA convention is basically CPAC with weaponry."

The right-wing extremist gun lobby exemplifies all that is wrong with this country as evidenced by CPAC and the NRA convention.

3. more than one nra convention

safe in ohio: Some one asked for my definition of a gun nut. Anyone that attends a NRA convention

I cut them some slack, sio, refining it to 'more than one nra convention', since the first one, young gunowners might get suckered into going, thinking there's some glamour or honor from going, but they should see the crap put out & quit by not renewing again.
.. not all nra members are gungho gunnuts, I peg only about 25% of them, with another 25% borderline, 25% in the turnaround stage where they'll likely quit in the next or following year; Most are responsible gun owners.
.. but I agree with you essentially, anyone who'd go to them on a regular basis is suspect of being a rabid gunnut.
