Sun Nov 3, 2013, 12:09 PM
Nov 2013

it was about out of state billionaires and NYC employees writing and lobbying for laws in another state. Not only those two ignore and disrespect their constituents, and bragged about it on national TV, they put the interests of big money ahead of the people who put therm in office. That pisses people off. Polls are based on all registered voters. If there were a 100 percent turn out, the result would be the same. Speaking of degenerate, the prohibition crowd use dishonesty, emotional appeal, name calling, and incapable of making a logical argument. People like Sugarmann, Watts, and Bloomberg see mass shootings as a political opportunity not as a tragedy. Bombings, stabbings, etc, are simply not on their radar.
