#3 Most of the recent 'celebrated' shootings have been committed by registered democrats and I do not recall any being NRA members.

#4 In the comments someone brought up the comparison to drivers licenses.

If I use motor vehicle on private property I don't need a license.

If I buy a motor vehicle I don't need a background check.

If I don't leave my property with my motor vehicle I don't need insurance.

Anyone can drive my motor vehicle on private property regardless of age.

Any one can buy fuel regardless of age.

There's probably more but I need more coffee...

#5 Oh yea, and I did get a license to carry in public which involved training and a tests so actually I've exceeded the requirements.

Making yourself harmless does not protect you from harm. I took a company sponsored Active Shooter class that drove this point home.

#6 I guess the writer wears sandals.

So his feet are not constantly wet.

Truth is, the writer was more of a menace with a panic attack while driving. More so if he had to twit his panic.

=BrerRabbit, I took a driving class with a professional driver. Best thing I ever did, learn to break without locking, cones, so forth. Best thing I ever did to learn how to operate the tool called automobile. People take classes to learn how to wire electricity. Do the same for any other tool, including firearms.

#7 A most excellent rant, indeed!

But let's play devil's advocate and assume that an NRA sticker *is* the sign of a heavily-armed person filled with murderous rage who may explode at any minute. It would make sense to give such a person a wide berth, or at least be polite to them. Forewarned is forearmed, if you'll pardon the expression.

And isn't that warning better than being blind-sided by, for example, an unlabeled gay black TV news guy?
