No Means NO, Wayne.
Irradiated by Stingray
Look, I’m realistic enough to know that compared to the real 2A heros like Alan Gura and the 2nd Amendment Foundation, the NRA’s chief concern is with perpetuating the NRA, sort of like the NAACP. But at some point you gotta step back and look at your marketing.

From: Wayne LaPierre
Subj: I wrote this for you
I honestly couldn’t tell you what it has in it beyond that. The notion of Wafflin’ Wayne there personally scribing missives to lil’ ol’ me was creeptastic enough in and of itself to send visions of GLaDOS dancing through my head.
Seriously, Wayne. I just don’t like you that way. And after that? There is no fuckin’ way in hell I’m even touching any wine from you.
Update: Ok, I cowboy’d up and clicked it before deleting. It got worse.
Dear Stingray,
I’ve written a new book about safety strategies for you and your family.
Good for you, buddy. Just pay no mind to the sound of the shotgun charging, fresh mags seating, and the door being barricaded at the rally point.

Oh God, what if it really is safety strategies for your family, and the content is all things like “Safety means awareness. For instance, be aware that the bedroom where your wife gets undressed every night at 10:00 PM is clearly visible from the neighbor’s unfenced yard.”

This is why I’m no longer an NRA member. SAF gets that money. For now. They’re pushing it with the mailings as well.

You could perhaps write back, “Hi Wayne, quit wasting my money on postage.”

I missed the “wine by the copier” joke. Someone please explain?
