Not sure where I was at, but one of my news alerts lead me to a blog post that yammered on and on about gun nuts and how we were basically psychopathic idiots who put guns in front of everything else. Normal stuff, but one thing stood out in my mind.

The author accused the NRA / GOA / CCRKBA / {insert random firearm group here} of not caring about freedom of speech or any other constitutional protections since it didn't actively push them.

It's a logical fallacy that just because someone focuses on X that they must not care about Y. Gun groups are that, gun groups. I'm a gun blogger, but I'm concerned as heck about all civil rights; I just choose to focus on self defense.

I just get tired of hearing the old canard about gun rights groups push guns above all else. Just because someone focuses on something doesn't mean they don't care about something else.
