America's deluded: Majority or minority?
Notably, one NRA member found news of the “terror gap” so incredulous that he did not believe the fact that potential terrorists are allowed to purchase firearms. He called news of the GAO report “false information,” and when ThinkProgress tried to show him a Washington Post article reporting it, he remained unconvinced:We wondered how many wks. in a FEMA camp it would take before NRA MEMBER understood that the NRA is a lobbying front for commercial arms & ammo interests, but he reveals in the TP footage below that he owns a gun store, so, unlike most of the others selected, he knows which side his bread's buttered on.Look for the woman above: If they're on the list, she thinks they should be detained anyway. Second Amendment, yes! Other Amendments? Meh. And then: If they're on the list (& some are suspicious of the list's criteria, it is, after all, the gov't.) they shouldn't be here. And NRA MEMBER doesn't understand that the terror watch list is not the same as the violent convicted felons & loons list he has to check before he sells a gun to someone anyway.
NRA MEMBER: The Washington Post, I think that’s part of like the Communist News Broadcasting and everything. … The Washington Post lies on everything. … I don’t know how I can believe the Post. You need to find better facts than the Washington Post. … I wouldn’t believe a word I read in the Washington Post. It’s one of the worst papers in the whole country, from what I’ve heard.
TP: Oh, then which newspaper would you believe?
NRA MEMBER: Which newspaper? I don’t know I would stick to Fox News over everything.
We know we're not kidding anyone. There's never been any hope for anything anywhere.
