STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS. Posting things like this makes people think all lefties think this way, and those who post wacky right-wing propaganda on mostly leftist sites probably incite the same kind of response: polarization...
The problem is that some lefties DO think that way (hence the author of the linked article) just like there are some equally loony right-wingers. It is when they are able to post their opinions on news sites that it becomes an issue, even if the site isn't something like Fox or The Globe and Mail.
The NFA, likely like the NRA, is trolled constantly by people with an agenda, but those people don't have much of an audience. This guy does have an audience though, and that's why I linked it.
Perhaps it is still feeding a troll, but this troll has the potential to woo a captive audience and for that reason he is potentially dangerous to those who value their freedoms.
JMHO of course
He may have an audience, and maybe they tend to agree with part or most of what he publishes, but that doesn't mean they believe everything he writes. There are, I'm sure, those who do, and who cares about those dim-wits? Not me, and less than those who would "die for" their 2nd amendment rights, but have never even read it.
IMO, receiving an eloquent response/retort, such as what you posted, will NOT make a difference, since you would hope some one intelligent enough to have his thoughts put into print would also know a good portion of both sides of a debate, and also how to get the most bang for his buck when it comes to stirring the pot, because stirring the pot is far more entertaining and profitable than letting things settle to their respective densities.
