9. They just can't

help themselves. Anytime they perceive the slightest threat to their "precious," they scramble for meaningless statistics, half-truths, and outright lies.

Their newest phony "outreach" tactic is to proclaim loudly that they are now "for" background checks as long as the checks remain ineffective, and absolutely no record is kept of the check anywhere under any circumstances. Straw purchases are perfectly okay, and accountability and personal responsibility are un-Constitutional concepts.

NRA apologists only support the right to the unfettered proliferation of gunz, and the gun manufacturers love them for it. Both groups use the Second Amendment as a means to an end: profits from the preventable and needless deaths and injuries of Americans.
