So Democrats believe bashing the NRA is their ticket back to power?

Now they have an issue beside hating Trump. It may or may not work for them in the mid-terms. We’ll see.

This will become the Dems new "Wellstone Funeral" in the midterms....

... if even remembered by short-attention-span America in November.

The Dems think every issue is their ticket back to power. They believe that they and the LSM are framing the discussion so how can they lose?

I heard that there were very elevated AR sales in Florida right after.

There is *no* lie that the Rats won't tell.Every once in a while a Rat will actually admit that.But such moments happen so seldom...and pass so quickly...that you must *always* be paying attention.

Have you ever seen the left so gleeful as when a deranged killer shoots up a school?

Of course they had to contain their excitement when the recent mass shooting in a Texas church happened. When an armed citizen stopped the killer, it no longer fit the narrative. The leftists just wanted to move on.

Notice how much less media coverage happened over that incident by comparison, even though a lot more people died?

This will cost them seats. They finally found something to talk about. Without this they have nothing to offer. Not one d@mned thing.

I think the Rat base has been as energized as they can possibly be by TDS. Screaming about the NRA and the 2nd amendment were a given with those maniacs. I was very concerned about complacency on our side. The left’s rantings and lies should motivate conservatives to stay better engaged. Looks like a net plus. I’d be interested in seeing the NRA membership results for the last week.

Is this dude healthy?

He doesn't really look like he is, and he is sounding brain scrambled like Nancy Pelosi.

They’re racist.

17 white dead kids sends them into frenzied outrage but they’re silent on the deaths of black kids at the hands of guns in Chicago.

If it can’t be blamed on Republicans or the NRA, human suffering isn’t an issue for them. Its not a human issue for them, its about politics.

Too bad Americans who buy their spin about the NRA don’t get it.

“the state of Florida, the governor’s office, gave financial incentives for the Colt corporation to come to Kissimmee to manufacture AR-15s, the same one that wreaked such havoc here and that you all are suffering so terribly from.”

Do they treat cars and alcohol the same way when people get killed by drunk drivers?

Insanity.

That won’t help Democrats with the midterms, if news of this scandal is propagated to enough news companies for publishing. It will be useful for many debates to come, too.

Simon Says (now the Democratic Party) hate the NRA.
Simon Says (now the Democratic Party) hate Trump.
Simon Says (now the Democratic Party) tax cuts are crumbs.
Simon Says (now the Democratic Party) hate Republicans.
Think for yourself or you are brainwashed, but Simon didn’t say!

Correct. They lie and pretend like they care about suffering and death of the innocent. But if there were any truth to that they would oppose abortion.

The left’s lust for total power is insatiable.

They want to dictate what everyone does, says, thinks, and feels.

And that is the REAL reason they push for gun control. Armed citizens make it very difficult for them to achieve their dreams of a North Korea styled, totalitarian state.

Let’s ban people from living... anything could kill them.

Oh wait, they already support abortion. So why they are so upset at kids outside the womb being aborted?

Its probably callous of me to say but those 17 kids gone favorably impact climate change and is voiuntary human extinction.

The Left has been telling for years we would better off without fewer humans around. I don’t really get the fuss.

I am reminded of the 1970s series World at War. Specifically, the footage of bashing in the windows of Jewish businesses and denigrating Jews on the street.

A lot of people have a hard time believing that Florida has liquor stores with drive-thrus.

Thee are no Constitutional amendments having to do with cars, and the net for the two amendments about alcohol is zero.

But because their real goal is to do damage to the Constitution and the other underpinnings of this nation, they will attack guns.
