That ominous image up there is the cover of this month's NRA magazine. The magazine is called America's First Freedom, which, if it's referring to owning guns, is just wrong because of the word "second" in the Second Amendment. The article is "The Most Dangerous 700 Days America Has Ever Faced."

You might think, "Well, surely that's referring to a period of time right after we declared independence and fought the Revolutionary War." Or perhaps, "Oh, of course, it's an article about the most violent part of the Civil War." Or "Indeed, the time right after Pearl Harbor was quite trying for our nation." Maybe even "Gosh, I knew things were bad after 9/11, but I didn't realize it was the most dangerous time." Yes, yes, you might try each of those, but, fuck you, you unarmed traitor. That shit is happening now.

Those 700 days (give or take) encompass the last two years of President Barack Obama's term in office post-2014 midterms. Let the motherfucker with the combover of doom, Wayne LaPierre, lay it on the line for you: "If Obama and his allies succeed in their 'transformation' over the next two years, the America we know and love may cease to exist." Why? Because he's gonna take away the guns. The guns, goddamnit. Obama's coming after them, even though, as LaPierre admits, in the last six years, "the Second Amendment is the only freedom that has expanded while others have retreated."

Don't you get it? Obama's been playing the long game. He put on hold all his devious machinations to walk into your home and rip the rifle from you cold, dead hand. Sure, he's never actually talked about doing that or done anything at all other than suggest a few minor regulations that wouldn't affect the vast majority of gun owners. And, even though the NRA was sure that, right after his reelection, Obama was going to unleash the goons, no goons have appeared. But, one supposes, he was waiting until after he lost huge in the midterms. He has no more elections to worry about, they say. So, fuck it, let's get the gun melter going 24/7.

1. Quick, gun owners, hoard hoard hoard!

2. This is, and always has been,

the NRA/Second Amendment absolutists'/Koch Brothers'/right-wing extremists' main talking point: "The evil government is coming for your guns, so hoard more guns and ammunition to protect yourselves from the coming Liberal tyranny." The rest of their overall marketing campaign centers around this basic theme.

"If Obama and his allies succeed in their 'transformation' over the next two years, the America we know and love may cease to exist." Why? Because he's gonna take away the guns.

You could fall back to 1991 when Clinton was running & paraphrase the same goony propaganda - & the real trouble is that too significant a portion of Americans buy into the nra bull****.

Then toss in a free watch for renewing your nra subscription, or a free nra cap, or a free multi-tool, or a free duffel bag, or a free led flashlight (don't we all need another one of these gems? - excepting nra cap), wheee, how can the gullible gunnut refuse?
Oh thank you thank you nra for protecting me from liberals and my right to keep & bear guns!!!
(Oh thank you, kind member, do remember to write the nra into your la$t will & te$tament plea$e). http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/nra/aff_201502/#/36

Puke. This perverse nra management is some sub-culture which should be forced to disband as subversive & in violation of alien & sedition laws - instead it's put on a pedestal by gunnuts, not because they adore lapierre-head, but because nra appeases some abnormal fear of losing fabricated gun rights.
