Since the massacre in Parkland, Florida, gun-control activists have pressured Apple, Amazon, and other streaming platforms to drop NRATV, and thereby join other companies that have cut ties with the National Rifle Association. The N.R.A.’s twenty-four-hour digital channel is a remarkable product, marked by an affluent look and a confident monomania; it keeps up the morale of loyalists primed to exalt the N.R.A.’s values, and it delights enthusiasts by investing guns with all of the glamour and valor its producers can muster. |

Built upon Instruments of Equality, you mean.
Just ask the 80 year old grandma who shoots an intruder, or the twenty-something college girl who shoots a sexual predator. Or even the 130lb pizza delivery boy who shoots a 190lb robber.
The whining caption of the lead photo is thus justified - you people SHOULD be disqualified from any 'debate'. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
