Know Thy Enemies

[jackfengshui]

This is not a post about gun control (I remain convinced that it is futile to try to change the gun fetish in America despite the recent tragedies), but just a sad commentary about the degree of polarization in this country.

The NRA probably does not know about the U2 lyric "Choose your enemies carefully, 'cause they will define you." Otherwise they might have thought twice before publishing this revealing Enemies List recently.

Jack,
As far as the NRA link, it does NOT list them as enemies.

THIS article (CNN) is who listed them as enemies.



I am quite shocked by your "gun fetish in America" comment.

I will also gladly proclaim that I am a believer of the second amendment.

You are strictly correct that the NRA page never used the word "enemies", but the intent of publishing the list is obvious.

I do not want to trigger another heated debate about guns with this thread, and I will be happy to replace "gun fetish" with "emotional attachment to guns" just for you.

Pretty much looks like an enemies list to me.

Jack, why do you always insists on calling people who support the 2nd amendment as having a "gun fetish"?

[jackfengshui]

The 2nd Amendment and our emotional obsession about guns are two different things.

See, for exsmple,
