Groening is a strident anti. Most "correct" political views are stated by Lisa Simpson in the show, and in regards to the 2A she said, "The Second Amendment is a relic from colonial times. It has no meaning today."

Strange that an anti would have "NRA4EVER" flash on the cash register in the intro

I'm getting real tired of explaining this over and over again, but so many people think Matt Groening is pro-gun due to that one stupid special episode. "Matt Groening's pro-gun! Cash register says NRA4EVER on it!"
The NRA4EVER readout is not on the original intro scene. It was a gag put in a Simpsons "behind the scenes" special hosted by Troy McClure. Matt Groening is not pro-gun. The idea that Groening, a total leftist/liberal, would sneak that right-wing message in is absurd, hence the ironic humor. On the same episode, Groening is portrayed as an old, one-eyed, pistol-toting, tequila-guzzling psycho. Again, irony, because Groening is nothing like that in real life.
The joke flew right over your head, like with most people.
