RKBA or RTKBA

[NoVA Shooter]

If you had to pick one, which one do you prefer?

I know this is kind of a stupid poll, but I'm in the process of getting conference swag (flyers, t-shirts, etc) printed up and I was wondering what the more popular acronym for Right to Keep and Bear Arms is. I'm sure both are acceptable, but I was curious if one was considered 'more official'.

Thanks

I picked RKBA because:

1. Acronyms should be as short as possible while still being clear
2. "To " falls into the same categry as "the" and "and." You wouldn't use TRTKABA
3. Swag should not be so busy that you can't get the message in a glance

I have also seen RTBA - right to bear arms.

KarenTOC makes a good point. +1.

But if you're making up swag, shouldn't your gear read, "Do you even FREEDOM Bro?!"

I like the T Either one is good

Hope this helps.



Google Search:

RTKBA - 32,600 results
RKBA - 696,000 results

looks like 20x more popular without the 'T'.

A stupid poll question? Nah, this is the internet man!


Totally RKBA. you are already dropping the "and" with RTKBA, it's only sensible to drop the "to" as well. It's like the words in a movie title that aren't capitalized.

Like RKBA better. More concise and direct.

RKBA or RTKBA

What are you talking about?

I'm from New Jersey and I have no idea what either of those acronyms stands for.

 

[Doc7]

RKBA stands for "Right to keep and bear arms" You can figure out which letters stand for what and which are missing and why the debate between RKBA and RTKBA on your own...

 

[bushmaster1313]

RKBA stands for "Right to keep and bear arms"

You've got to be pulling my leg.
We don't have anything at all like that here in New Jersey.
Who writes your jokes?

Ah I see what you did there
