In my opinion these anti-gun groups are an anti-constitutional organization and that the NRA has the moral right to spy on them.

hazzer.. thank you...  I guess you can agree with me and then not really want freedom..  it confuses me but...

I mean, how can you agree with me on libertarian (individualist in my case) values but disagree with everything else I say?   I have no opinions that are not rooted in freedom.

I'd say your wishes for all cities to implode and burn have nothing to do with freedom.  That's where you always loose me at least.

bongie...  I have no wish to see cities burn and explode.   I am saying that if we do have a terrorist dirty bomb happen or a biological type attack.. It will happen in the big cities which are all blue voters and..   A few million less blue voters is just a silver lining to the cloud..  not to mention the conversion from blue to red by the survivors.

I am just looking at the bright side of the inevitable.

So you think one constitutional right trumps other constitutional rights? Does that mean these groups now have the right to spy on the NRA because the NRA broke their constitutional right to freedom of speech & privacy?

The NRA did not violate their constitutional rights. That's laughable.

You must be one of those guys with the new, improved, elastic Constitution that stretches to cover any cockamamie idea you happen to be swooning over at the moment.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

The right to privacy belongs to individuals, not public organizations.

Maybe you should read the context of the post and one it was a reply too. We happen to have a right to privacy and a right to freedom of speech.

NRA uses lobbyist to pander to the govt to protect their own rights, at the same time they are violating others right to "freedom of speech" and "right to privacy" by having a spy in their organization. The NRA had this person in a high position which gives them added benefit on how to lobby the govt to block the anti-gun groups.

That is a violation of their rights..

Then the same could be said for the NRA.. the right to bare arms belongs to individuals and militia's not public or private organizations if you want to go by those terms.

Baloney. As a free citizen I can belong to any public organization I want for any reason I want. They have the right to reject my membership but at the risk of a discrimination suit.
