read up on the MOVE story instead of just putting a misleading headline out there.

I don't think it was clear from the start, but I 100% agree that the NRA has become a far right, white nationalist group. Their Phlando Castile non-reaction was heard loud and clear. The NRA used to be a hunting and shooting sports advocacy group, but what they were bears no resemblance to what they are now. I was an NRA member back in the 80's, but bailed on them a couple of decades ago. They are strictly a political lobbying group, and these days exist to pump money into far right candidates and causes. It is beyond me how a 2nd Amendment group could not be outraged and furious about the police shooting a law abiding, legally gun carrying citizen who was licensed to carry, informed the officer he was carrying, and complied with the officer's commands. There is no doubt in my mind that if Philando Castile was a white guy the NRA would have made some noise, and offered support to the guy's family. Instead we get crickets.rgambs said:

"Triggered" does not equate to "people who disagree with me". Yeah, you're using it incorrectly.PJPOWER said:
I don't think I use it out of context when describing "triggered" emotional responses from non-substantial videos. Similarly, my eye rolls are triggered by the triggered emotional responses.CM189191 said:
It may be a legitimate term, but that doesn't mean you're using it correctly.PJPOWER said:
It is actually a pretty legitimate psychological term. Sorry that the term "triggered" triggers your anger.CM189191 said:
triggered, what a stupid phrase.PJPOWER said:
There have been a lot of members that have spoken with their $ about this and verbally condemned the lack of response. Castile did not deserve to get shot and no justice was serviced by the legal system in that incident. The NRA truly need to get some new PR people in there. They are truly only good at lobbying these days. There are plenty of lesser known gun rights organizations out there that handle their shit better than the NRA. Regardless, I still think it's funny how many people were "triggered" by the mostly non-substantial video above.rgambs said:

And they were never a "civil rights organization." The 2nd Amendment was the best thing that ever happened to them, but they are a trade association. They try to sell guns.jeffbr said:

Triggered implies an unreasonable or disproportionate response. It's been bastardized by the likes of you to mean any sort of response or resistance to the hateful, inciteful rhetoric of the right. Throwing around terms like 'trigger' is not only insulting to people who have had traumatic experiences resulting in serious psychological conditions; it's a tactic used to chill free speech by dismissing people's legitimate concerns as irrational. You should be embarrassed and ashamed.PJPOWER said:

lol get the fuck outta here with that paranoid bullshit... nobody us coming to burn down your home for fucks sake... stop being ridiculous
The are hurting you're country.Any question that the NRA had transformed from a civil rights organization into a full on far right white nationalist group evaporated in the deafening silence of their nonresponse to the Philando Castile verdict.

Not embarrassed or ashamed. I feel that many of the concerns are irrational. You proved me right, the video triggered irrational responses. Some are more easily triggered than others.CM189191 said:
Triggered implies an unreasonable or disproportionate response. It's been bastardized by the likes of you to mean any sort of response or resistance to the hateful, inciteful rhetoric of the right. Throwing around terms like 'trigger' is not only insulting to people who have had traumatic experiences resulting in serious psychological conditions; it's a tactic used to chill free speech by dismissing people's legitimate concerns as irrational. You should be embarrassed and ashamed.PJPOWER said:
The video triggered a response. The video triggered anger amongst the left...what's so hard to understand? The leftist response triggered my eye rolling. All well within the context.oftenreading said:
"Triggered" does not equate to "people who disagree with me". Yeah, you're using it incorrectly.PJPOWER said:
I don't think I use it out of context when describing "triggered" emotional responses from non-substantial videos. Similarly, my eye rolls are triggered by the triggered emotional responses.CM189191 said:

There have been a lot of members that have spoken with their $ about this and verbally condemned the lack of response.

Disturbing as fuck.dignin said:
Is everyone still convinced that some kind of civil war or something isn't coming in America? I'm really having trouble imagining where things are going, but I just don't see them getting better anytime soon. I only see them getting much, much, much worse, with the kind of anger and division that is being grown by the currently government and its lobbyists. And btw, I don't see the left being the catalyst of such things. If shit goes down, it will be the growing alt-right that stirs shit up... starting with fucking twitter ads like this one by the NRA, which is obviously an alt-right organization now.

Most definitely, everyone should be aware of the laws surrounding gun ownership and self-defense.Go Beavers said:

Haha, if my stance is extremist, then there are some super duper hecka extremists out there that totally overshadow my so called extremism. Not agreeing with you does not equal extremism...unless you are on the far extreme of the other side...such as the Antifa lunatics.dignin said:

Not embarrassed or ashamed. I feel that many of the concerns are irrational. You proved me right, the video triggered irrational responses. Some are more easily triggered than others. There's a yawning chasm between triggering and provoking someone. If the NRA is dog-whistling for violence based on race & political views, they're toeing the line of hate crime / terroristic threats. No surprise coming from an organization with a symbiotic relationship with terrorists like the oath keepers, michigan militia, 3%s. The Right continues to try to drag the Left down to it's level.PJPOWER said:CM189191 said:Triggered implies an unreasonable or disproportionate response.

As of late, it seems like the Right have only been responding to Left wing violence. Is that their excuse now, that they were provoked (triggered) and cannot contain their violent tendencies?0
