All my money goes to paying bills, I don't have money to give to *any* charities. I wish I did. You know what I do, I stand up for what I believe in and I don't take no for an answer. I write my Congresscritters and I sign every petition I can. You have a very narrow minded view of our democracy if you think money = power = right.

Also, if you think I'm violating copyright law, feel free to alert and click the copyright violation button, otherwise you're just showing how truly ignorant you are of copyright law. It's called *fair use* ever heard of it, and there is no prohibition on using images, and especially since just about every single on of those has a signature and a publication name.

I expect reason and the basic principle of one-person one-vote in a free and fair election to carry the day. That right now, the right-wing in this country has had some success in pushing their radical anti-gun control agenda is a tragedy, and is hardly something to be proud of given that it is anti-public safety and inconsistent with the Constitution.

The NRA if funded by over 4 million dues paying members. GreenStormCloud Jan 2012 #28

"The NRA is funded and backed by gun manufacturers." rl6214 Jan 2012 #30

That would be the NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation) that represents Mfrs. DonP Jan 2012 #36

Nope - you're wrong liberal_biker Feb 2012 #104

Guns are an important part of right wing existence. nm rhett o rick Jan 2012 #12

Notice Henigan's backhanded acknowledgement of Heller's validity in that piece. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #41

Yep, the judge be right. Heller was "quite narrow," despite what the NRA told their minions. Hoyt Jan 2012 #56

Unfortunately for those on the pro-gun control side, McDonald was not "quite narrow"... S_B_Jackson Feb 2012 #89

You better hold em tight. Hoyt Feb 2012 #90

Do you disagree that states and municipalities who are intent upon infringing S_B_Jackson Feb 2012 #94

Yep, Heller was narrow pipoman Feb 2012 #71

Just shows how easily precedent is reversed -- especially 5/4 decision on issues like guns. Hoyt Feb 2012 #95

What, pray tell, was reversed? pipoman Feb 2012 #97
