Foxy,

"You ask - why single out the NRA?

The topic of this discussion is - "NRA and Politics>"

Fair enough, but in the finer traditions of OLO, one may broaden the subject and ask "What about the Donations (bribes) paid to our major parties?

Regarding the Second Amendment?

Here's a link that explains this further:

The Second Amendment Hoax.

Dear Is Mise,

You've asked - "What about donations paid to our
major parties?"

There is so much we don't know about
political donations. We do need disclosures
which add to transparency and the Sam Dastyari episode
is just one example that shows the need for clear-cut
rules.

We need to prevent those with links to foreign
governments as well as any powerful lobbyists
from using money to influence the
political process. I believe that the Victorian
Government is getting serious on its political donations
rules, hopefully this will lead to the federal government
doing the same.

Why don't you start your own discussion on this topic?
I'm sure that many people would be interested in having this
discussion as well.

Foxy,

You're the one that intimated that the NRA's donations were also bribes, so are donations to our major parties Bribes?

On the 2nd Amendment, it's not what it is thought to mean or has been thought to mean, but what it actually means that is the important thing,

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

How do you interpret it?

Dear Is Mise,

Read the link I've given on the 2nd Amendment -
Its quite self explanatory.

As are my comments on donations.

I have nothing further to add on that subject.

If you're looking for more input - you can start
your own discussion on that subject - which I
suggested you do.

Foxy,

"Read the link I've given on the 2nd Amendment -
Its quite self explanatory"

I read it and I think that it is waffle.

How do you interpret the 2nd Amendment, personally?
