here's a useful phone number
Dec. 16th, 2012 09:31 pmAccording to the website of the NRA, should you want to phone up and ask them about their contribution to the Connecticut massacre (and all the other massacres that have gone before):
You may also contact us by phone at (800) 392-VOTE (8683), Monday-Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., EST.
Of course, this may not get you too far when you're trying to extract an answer from infantile people who disclaim all responsibility for their actions. The blogger James321 tried it, and reports:
After pressing number four to speak to a representative, I was put on hold -- for just a few seconds -- and then spoke to a rather smug unidentified man.
I asked him if the NRA would be apologizing for yet another atrocity facilitated by their actions. His smug words -- dripping with contempt -- were: 'We don't have anything to apologize for.' After explaining how the NRA's lobbying efforts lead to more gun deaths in the United States than any other country on Earth, he repeated his talking point and then hung up on me.
But, hey, the more of us call that number tomorrow, the more those irresponsible little toads might feel that, finally, they should think about the consequences of their lobbying for the weapons merchants.I asked him if the NRA would be apologizing for yet another atrocity facilitated by their actions.
