Brandon Webb recently (Dec 2nd) announced his intention to run for an NRA board seat in 2015.
For whatever reason, he is intentionally keeping his positions vague. The main concerns I have are his language when speaking of "compromise" and "participation" in the legislative process.... I also think his military experience lends little to nothing to his credentials when in consideration for a board seat on the NRA. I have only been an NRA member for the past two years, so I do not believe I am allowed to vote yet. I would not vote for Brandon Webb if I was able to do so. link to original FB post thoughts??? Brandon Webb: ----------------------- here is a little piece he wrote for his blog: the gun problem in america "I don’t have all the solutions on this issue but I do know that I’m personally ready to compromise to limit mass shootings, and I’m ready to have an intelligent conversation on this issue. If leading gun organizations like the NRA don’t take a leadership role in proposing realistic solutions, then they will have failed to truly represent gun owners. The result will be that politicians will end up passing more ridiculous laws that don’t make sense for anyone. The issue is cultural also, you can’t just go after gun control. Most silly laws passed, especially magazine limitations. It’s like trying to get rid of drunk drivers by shrinking the size of gas tanks in cars. Yes, it really is that silly. Sometimes change, as difficult as it can be at first, is a good thing, after all it was once within our constitutional rights to own and enslave other human beings.If we continue to do nothing then we can expect more mass shootings in the near future. Remember that when you kiss your kids goodbye on their way to school." OK, after reading the post above I am changing my stance from "maybe he is misunderstood" to "fuck this guy"... --------------------- EDIT TO ADD: BW NRA FB opposition group |

Screw him. He's not vague. He's vain and anti gun. He says "idiots" shouldn't have guns and everyone should take an NRA course. He completely misses the fucking target 7 lanes over. It's a fucking Right and no tests or requirements are needed to have rights. He also says the NRA should have a say in the legislative process of passing common sense gun laws. The only people that say common sense laws are people that try to pass laws that restrict freedoms.
Fuck You Brandon Webb. |
|
|
He sounds like a Obama plant.
He is exactly what the NRA DOESN'T need, A NINO. [NRA in name only] |
|
|
The NRA has a selection committee and only passes a couple people. By his first statement about the NRA he will never make it through the committee.
|
|
|
He was a SEAL, has written a few books about SEALs, hes the self proclaimed expert on all things dealing with SEALs, he's also annoying as fuck and needs to just go away.
|
|
Hmm... "If his professional accomplishments as a sniper don't speak for me" or whatever the fuck he said, and "compromise on liegislation"...
I'm thinking brandon is a fucking douchebag with a very high opinion of himself who is very willing to fuck us all over in a heartbeat. as usual, FPNI |
|
Nope. Universal training for CCW? Nope, nope, nope. He likes the term "common sense gun laws" too much. He's somebody's plant.
|
|
Fuck this nihilistic asshole. I used to look at sofrep, but fuck this guy.
IQ tests for firearm ownership, huh??? HE gets to choose who can have guns? FUCK THIS GUY. FUCK brandon webb |
|
|
he can eat my ass but i don't swing that way so its a moot point.
|
|
Of course he is a sniper, everybody in the military is a sniper.
Sorry bud, no, you're "professional accomplishments" are NOT enough to elect you to the board of the NRA. Kindly take your "common sense" legislation and !@@# %%^^ &&***. |
|
Yep. Already on the list to make sure to keep the hell off the board.
|
|
Not just no, but hell no. I don't want ANY NRA participation in the legislative process. 99% of any new gun laws would be taking away freedoms in exchange for diddly squat. No, the answer is no. I am against all new gun laws, because I don't trust the people making those laws.

This guy does not get it or is a plant by the anti gun groups. Will not vote for him.
|
|
No Brandon, your military career doesn't qualify you to represent NRA members.
He refuses to take a stand on his facebook page and he expects us to trust him taking a stand on a national level? Fuck him, he must be related to Joaquin Jackson. |
|
The NRA is weak enough as is . I want harder no compromise guys who will go on the offensive , NOT some sort of brady bunch RINO

Anyone who relies on their military service to send a point home is full of shit.
I was a combat medic so I know about brain surgery you should all listen to me, |
|
I stopped reading when I saw the bit about how being a sniper should qualify him for a spot on the board.
That has absolutely nothing to do with it. |
|
Being a sniper doesn't qualify you as a fry cook, much less qualify you for an NRA position. Flimsy ass Trojan Horse attempt.
|
|
We need to run an Arfcommer. Whatever happened to that failed attempt?
|
|
that guy can go fuck himself. he said my magic words:
"compromise" and "Common Sense". If you had any "common sense", you'd see that gun legislation doesn't work. and "compromise" to these guys usually means, "here let me hold my ass cheeks out of the way while you dry fuck me". |
|
|
Maybe the LAV should run against him, i've heard he's entertained the the idea of being on the NRA board as well.
