This is sad and disappointing. I am a platinum member. This is what my dues are being used for. I joined because I refuse to be a part of the NRA terrorist cult. I am very disappointed that USCCA is allowing itself to be used as a political hate speech and right wing misinformation platform. I am a gun owner and a liberal but I don’t feel its right to impose my views on others especially in such a hateful and disingenuous manner as expressed on this forum. Very disappointed in USCCA.
You are one, we are many, we like it here, if you don’t like it here don’t come here.
If you have a complaint call, 800-674-9779.
P.S. We don’t care what color you are.
A rather ironic statement given your complaint about the forum.
I’ve noticed both sides having their say… so IMHO your complaint bares no validity…
I am happy that both sides are having their say…
I like agreeing to disagree… but still making their point…
do I find some that SEEM hard headed and misguided??? IMHO yes…
I have seen opinions that to me screams that stupidity and indoctrination rules that person…
yet I want them to say what they believe… they have that right!!!
if you can not bare to see opinions that are contrary to yours then YOU perhaps have issues???
Hi Larry352.
I can see how sometimes it can get out of hand, the name calling. At first, I worried it was reflective of the USCCA, but I think it is not.
For example, if another self defense insurance company other than Delta, started an online community forum, there would still be some debate within those posts as well. I think it’s similar to that old adage, being careful “not to discuss religion and politics at the dinner table”. Because we all know what would happen during dinner, if we did, and I believe dinner together is meant to be enjoyable, not work.
I think we are all sensitive, or else we wouldn’t reply. But it shows we care as well.
I trust the moderators sometimes do step in when it gets too far, and they do have an outline of “guidelines”.
As some have pointed out, we do value free speech. Hard to control speech or behavior. Once we start to control that, then we lose that freedom. I guess all I can do is try to be respectful and kind.
Humorous anecdote perhaps, IDK:
During the height of the Covid19 pandemic, and the turbulent times of 2020-2021, I was outside one cold rainy day, standing in a long line outside a firearm shop. Struck up some convo with the gentleman in front of me, and the one behind me, they had never met each other before that day, they each even had their baby child in tote with them. They happened to be on “different sides of the isle”; But they had some common bonds as well.
Peace.
I saw that, I’m sure he didn’t have time to read all the posts.
He had an opinion before he even posted, with no way to prove he is a member.
Now that is hilarious. Good catch.
@Gary522 Welcome to our community, we are glad to have you here with us.
Hypocritical much? You ARE a card carrying liberal!
I guess we could all stop thinking for ourselves and fall in line with your version of truth and the American way.
I don’t see a member badge in your profile. But I’ll give it a day or so to show up.
You’re welcome. Enjoy your stay. Personally, I welcome alternative viewpoints. I try to keep an open mind. Can’t say I expect it to go well, since you signed up and started vilifying with your posts on a forum that you joined less than an hour before your first post decrying fellow gun owners. We can agree to disagree.
Here’s your topic from a Conservative POV.
This is sad and disappointing. I am a dues paying member of numerous MSM platform. This is what my dues are being used for. I joined because I refuse to be a part of the MSM terrorist cult. I am very disappointed that MSM is allowing itself to be used as a political hate speech and left wing misinformation platform. I am a gun owner and a Conservative Constitutional Libertarian but I don’t feel its right to impose my views on others especially in such a hateful and disingenuous manner as expressed on other forums. Very disappointed in MSM
I’m no fan of the NRA’s recent leadership. Hopefully they are on their way to getting rid of the corruption. We shall have to wait and see. But calling them a terrorist cult is exactly the kind of misinformation spreading you claim to be against.
As someone who has been accused of being an evil communist and worse simply for pointing out here the mistakes the Right side makes, I can understand why someone from the Left would be frustrated by the, at times, very unwelcoming treatment that anyone with a left leaning view gets around here. But as someone who believes that both the Democrat and Republican parties are corrupt beyond repair, I will say that both sides do their fair share of mis/disinformation slinging. Though not everything one or the other side slings around is disinformation.
This is an open forum though so the opinions expressed here should not be confused with the USCCA’s opinions or policies. If you want to hear their opinion or bring your complaints up to the USCCA staff you should tag the @moderators or better yet give them a call.
More like an agenda.
You should have joined for the training, the knowledge and the support, if needed. I have yet to find any hate speech. Maybe I’m just looking at the USCCA as an organization of friends, many who I do not know yet. Thanks for joining!
Valid. I still like you Shamrock! (You diplomatic fence rider you!)
That’s why I appreciate those who provide their sources.
Welcome to the forum Tim. Don’t forget the self defense coverage!
The aggravation of two people who cannot agree to disagree. To be a part of something that has different ideas and be able to find the good from something you may not be a part of. I am not catholic but yet they believe in God so, why should I be negative to those who are? I am not a staunch republican nor am I a democrat, but should I hate democrats? People are different than other people, no matter what so are you going to just hate other people because they do not think like you do? Anyone pointing at others saying they,… have four fingers pointing back at themselves.
Just face the fact that you are weird and different than those around you and just appreciate the differences. You may not be a Mexican but you still like them tacos!
That is why America is America, you can worship the way you want. You can say that President is an idiot and not get strung up by a rope. Americans do not have a color or a race of people, it is a melting pot. So, you do not have to go to Italy for Italian food and you do not have to go to France for French food.
So, if you do not think like I do or believe in God like I do, I except you because of it. Not everybody can be a United States Marine, and everybody cannot be as good looking as me.
Larry, Larry, Larry (slightly shaking my head in disbelief)
I suggested on another Topic ‘Roll with Tide instead of against it Brother’.
You’ll be a happier camper.
Just to clarify:
- you pay your ‘dues’ (actually it’s not dues, it’s a Fee for monthly Self Defense Insurance
- While not a fan the NRA has done some Excellent work but alas, like our Current administration has decided to try and take our country off the cliff into the Socialist/Progressive Ocean. Are you a willing participant in that SH** SHOW Sir?
- The USCCA created this Forum for it’s members (um…US!) if you find us distasteful you have many options friend.
** Stop posting your Trollish drivel
**Scroll away from Topics and Comments that upset your sensibilities.
** Accept that while your your Liberal world is Gospel (to you) it means very little to us.
This is an Open Forum, anybody who signs up can post here
But attempting on your first couple of posts here you try and ‘CHANGE’ the way we do things here is ABSURD!
Your Administration is attempting to change all of us from Freedom Loving Patriotic Americans into Drones and Sheep who will follow their PARTY lines and willingly get on the Cattle cars to our own Doom without a fight.
WE LIVE ON OUR FEET AND NOT ON OUR KNEES! Larry.
So Larry you have two choices, Acclimate and grow as a Human being and LEARN about 2A, Self Defense and Survival in this Corrupt Socialist Landscape or you can be all SUPERIOR (as your kind is prone to be) and Eliteist and Last here about the time it takes to make a short Stack of Waffle’s!
The choice is always yours.
adonde nosotros vamos uno nosotros ir todo!!!
