NRA Zombie

A Gun advocate that takes arguments made by the National Rifle Association at face value regardless of how absurd they are. Unlike regular Gun Advocates that are willing to have a calm and reasonable discussion with those whom they disagree with, the NRA Zombies have weak critical thinking skill and don't believe in fact checking before accepting what is said by the NRA.
When approached with anything outside the NRA narrative, the NRA Zombie is reacts with...

* Denial accompanied with Confirmation bias

* ad hominem attacks, including and not limited to falsely questioning one's love of country
* Empty References to Freedom
* Or verbal hostility

Paul knew by the vitriol being thrown when he mentioned the word universal background checks, that he was not talking to a regular 2nd amendment advocate. Instead he had encountered an NRA Zombie
