Hope that you meant this as a joke. There is a red X in your post that i cannot open.

The AARP is a long time anti-gun bunch. Belonged to the AARP for one year in the 80s. Quit when i found out that the panjandrums who run the AARP are opposed to concealed carry, want an assault weapons ban and gun registration. i still get get stuff asking me to join. i put three or four huge steel washers in their postpaid envelope and send it back.

If you could see the picture, you'd KNOW it was in jest. I don't want to be a part of that organization. Do you have a different browser that you could try? I can see the picture clearly. Thanks for your thoughts.

Edit: Try this.........

Thanks.

i can see the thumbail in your second post. There is still a red X in the first OP. Horace Deets used to be the shaker and mover for the AARP. He was a gun hater.

The question is, do gun haters leading the movement really hate guns, or do they just hate the facts that the serfs have them and would use them as a last resort? I vote for the latter.

I would say both. Gun haters are frequently irrational.

When it comes to politicians, i'm not sure it is about either of those. In some cases it is about pure unadulterated power. In other cases, liberal politicians pander to their far left constituents: Case in point-Carter. Little, if any gun control was passed during Carter's administration but that was not for his lack of desire for very restrictive gun control.

No gun control was passed during the Nixon administration. However, Nixon had some strong opinions about gun control: He was restrained by fear of backlash from 2nd Amendment supporters.


Quote:
In 1969, journalist William Safire asked Richard Nixon what he thought about gun control. "Guns are an abomination," Nixon replied. According to Safire, Nixon went on to confess that, "Free from fear of gun owners' retaliation at the polls, he favored making handguns illegal and requiring licenses for hunting rifles."

I can't wait to be eligible to join AARP!

I can't wait to be an old man. I look forward to being opinionated and irritable all the time.

Seriously, they're clearly a band of marauding, blue-haired, leftist old ladies. Sounds dangerous, doesn't it?

I figured you'd be a prime candidate for ARRP, you have the same liberal agendas. You might even want to be a member of the board.
