A top GOP donor in Florida is threatening to withhold contributions to candidates and political groups that do not get behind a ban on assault weapons, The New York Times reported.

In an email to half a dozen Republican leaders on Saturday, Florida-based real estate developer Al Hoffman Jr. decried the rash of mass shootings that has roiled the U.S. for years, and demanded that GOP politicians take action.

"I will not write another check unless they all support a ban on assault weapons," Hoffman wrote in the email, according to the Times. "Enough is enough!"

Al Hoffman on Jeb Bush:

We raised 120 million bucks for Jeb. The election night in South Carolina — I still have the voice mail from Jeb — I got a call from Jeb. He said, ‘Al, if this goes on for another hour or so, I’m pulling out.’ The problem is, we were eating dinner and I didn’t hear his voice mail. I didn’t hear for another hour and a half, and he conceded, and I cried. I love Jeb. I would follow him to the end of the earth, even today.

OK. With very few exceptions, only cops and military have them so feel free to ban those. I don’t know why, but it’s your money.

Every weapon is potentially an assault weapon. Don’t let the Left define the terms!

That’s fine. We don’t need your cash.

Now, scurry on down to City Hall and re-register as the Democrat you truly are.

Bye! :)

The worm lost his $120 million on Jeb ‘Low Energy’ Bush. He’s just another open borders, anti-gun GOP elitist douchebag.

This guy actually said Obama is right about gun control.

Al Hoffman, a top GOP donor with a history of criticizing fellow Republicans for perceived intransigence, blasted the party’s position on gun control in an interview with the Palm Beach Post on Tuesday.

“I believe the Republican Party faces irrelevancy if we as a party don’t gain a little rational nexus as far as gun control is concerned. I personally believe President Obama is right on the issue of gun control,” he said, clarifying that he considered himself a “conservative Republican.”

“We really ought to follow what the American public wants and there’s a clear consensus that they’re in favor of stricter gun control,” he said.
Well, Al, I invite you to come try and take 'em yourself.
