You can’t expect the brown shirts to resist their own guy.
They won't do that. Every time some fucking pig uses their horse to step on a protestor they nut.
The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons
Throughout the late 1960s, the militant Black nationalist group used their understanding of the finer details of California’s gun laws to underscore their political statements about the subjugation of African-Americans. In 1967, 30 members of the Black Panthers protested on the steps of the California statehouse armed with .357 Magnums, 12-gauge shotguns and .45-caliber pistols and announced, “The time has come for Black people to arm themselves.”
The display so frightened politicians—including California governor Ronald Reagan—that it helped to pass the Mulford Act, a state bill prohibiting the open carry of loaded firearms, along with an addendum prohibiting loaded firearms in the state Capitol. The 1967 bill took California down the path to having some of the strictest gun laws in America and helped jumpstart a surge of national gun control restrictions.
...
In contrast to the NRA’s rigid opposition to gun control in today’s America, the organization fought alongside the government for stricter gun regulations in the 1960s. This was part of an effort to keep guns out of the hands of African-Americans as racial tensions in the nation grew. The NRA felt especially threatened by the Black Panthers, whose well-photographed carrying of weapons in public spaces was entirely legal in the state of California, where they were based.
NRA seems like a bunch of sniveling, boot-licking, white nationalist fascists IMO
This is why most gun owners prefer GOA. NRA just inserts itself as the face of gun owners, doesn't actually represent us. GOA is actually libertarian, is for armed citizens not militarized cops. Stays in its lane with politics. Doesn't go out of its way to get bad PR with left.
Thinking gun owners like the NRA is about on the same level as thinking we shoot clips. They are the AARP of guns. They exist only to collect money from idiots.
Uh, the average level of American marksmanship that we've seen suggests that tyranny is perfectly safe.
Suddenly, the storm troopers in Star Wars make sense
300 yards with iron sights on an AR platform is pretty tough. I'm assuming that's the shot you're referring to.
Note: "average"
Best they can do is wing a few reporters.

Sorry they only fight against improving the lives of people not actual tyranny
Don't tread on me pointing a gun at you.
Read this as "Cmon do a racist tyranny" at first. Like, damn thats pretty mask off, and hello welcome to the last decade...
But yeah, "resist" works too.
And I read this as "Cmon do a racist [T slur]" , to which I say no thank you. I don't find racists attractive tyvm.
What is a t slur?
You're allowed to write it out as long as you don't direct it at someone.
Oh they will rise up, but it will be on the side of tyranny.
NRA obviously isn't going to help us, but your local Socialist Rifle Association would be more amenable to resisting tyranny. If there is no chapter in your area get some like minded friends together and start one.
Edit: How could I forget your local John Brown Gun Club, good number of chapters around the country and they will be comrades.
Might have better luck with the Marine Corps than the NRA. Either way, it won't be an organizational/top-down thing.

The marines were just deployed domestically (blatantly unconstitutional) and they complied with the unlawful order. They are part of the fascist insurrection.
Military coups happen, that’s why Trump replaced all the generals that might stand against him
How often are those military coups AGAINST the fascists? Hell a lot of those military coups were backed by our military/intelligence agencies. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the US military to be the bastion against tyranny.
I mean, you're right, but it's because of their demographics and proximity to the situation that I said what I said.
Few NRA members will be in any position to intervene or see the reality first-hand. Meanwhile, Marines have seen their spouses and other relatives deported in recent months. Trump was an idiot to deploy them like so, as opposed just about any other branch of the active-duty military.

I take it Marines are especially likely to have family or spouses that are here illegally, for some reason?
As of February 2024, more than 40,000 foreign nationals were serving in active and reserve components of the Armed Forces. An estimated additional 115,000 foreign nationals residing in the United States are veterans who have previously served on active duty.
Service guarantees citizenship. We've got so many immigrants in the military. Heavy Hispanic representation. Rodriguez and Vasquez are stereotype names for military members and you'll find it in movies all the time.
I do have a general feeling that Marines take more immigrants, especially Hispanic, but I don't have anything to base it on.
It's actually a little more complex than a guarantee, but serving in the US military is a path to expedited citizenship/permanent residency including family.
Hispanics - particularly Hispanic men in the military - have long been loyal supporters of the Republican Party and the Trump Presidency. A lot of these guys are from families that fled countries undergoing left-wing insurgencies and joined the US military with an eye towards flipping their home countries back to conservative governance. In particular, you've got a lot of Cuban and Venezuelan ex-pats aligned with the capitalist opposition parties. You've also got a lot of Nicaraguans and Columbians with a family history opposed to the Sandinistas and the FARC rebels. And that's before Marine Training beats anything resembling modern liberalism out of you.
The Trump anti-immigrant attitude puts them in a weird place, since they're nominally aligned with his political attitude but physically exposed to his dragnet against anyone with an unseasonable tan. Also, heaven help you if you're a queer Hispanic with conservative politics.
But go down the rooster of the Jan 6th gang. Check out who some of Trump's most loyal supporters are in the House and Senate, particularly in Gulf states like Florida and Texas. You're going to find a lot of Hispanics. The Marines are a hotbed of reactionary politics and fascist attitudes, second only to the holy roller Christian nationalists in the Air Force.
Bet they were salivating at shooting illegals while violating the constitution.
Should've packed them in like sardines with no food or water. They went there with the intent to murder.
"From my cold dead hands!"
They actually apparently want to die, not actually keep their guns.
White supremacist organizations like the NRA are constantly working to impose tyranny.
What do you expect from a bunch of terrorists?
I mean, we all knew that the NRA was on the fascists' side, but what about all those leftist gun owners that kept spamming the "under no pretext" quote after every school shooting? Surely they'll be starting their glorious revolution any minute now, right?
