All 4 million of us?  That's one hell of a cult.  There 
weren't that many members of the Communist Party that took 
over Russia in 1917.  Are you calling the women (mothers, 
daughters, grandmothers) who are on the Board of Directors 
(and 2 former presidents of the NRA), thugs?  Unbalanced? 
Frightened?  The blacks, Asians, and Hispanics?  Local, 
state, and federal elected officials?  Doctors, lawyers, 
PhDs, accountants, CPAs, nurses. members of the FBI?  Civil 
rights leaders?  Gays and straights?

Damn, KeisterHole, you paint with an overbroad brush.
