(6,655 posts)most of the NRA talking points verbatim. Do you really believe that because you are a self-proclaimed Republican that you have the God-given duty to come and preach to we Democratic heathens?
The right-wing, Republican, Koch Brothers-supported NRA has pushed through obscene gun legislation that allows almost anyone in this country to get their hands on any type of lethal weapon they want -- no questions asked. The NRA pours millions of gun manufacturer dollars into scare tactic messaging (like the one you bring us) in order to trick the American people into believing that the 2nd Amendment is under attack by us filthy old Democratic Liberals.
Here's the deal Mr. Republican: no one wants to take your fucking gun away! The majority of the American people are sick and tired of 2,500 American gun deaths every fucking month in this country, and your whining about "even the slightest infringement on our 2nd Amendment rights" is just too fucking bad. You people had your chance to compromise, and stick with sensible gun laws in this country. But no, you had to help the fucking Neoconservative Rifle Association pass laws which allow vigilantes to roam our streets looking to "stand their ground."
Thanks for the insight, but like the rest of your gun cult you are afraid that the American people are finally waking up to the lies and deception of the NRA and their bought and paid for politicians. That time is coming to an end, and the NRA is becoming insignificant. Like your politics, your NRA "gunz for everyone" policy is on the losing side of this tide of public opinion.
Deal with it.
