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!"

"Trump brags that he is without big donors. That may be true. But it also means he is without restraint. He is free to agitate and feed chaos. In business and politics alike, oversight is a good thing. It keeps the ship in calmer waters."
So this a-hole actually admitted that he is upset that he cannot *buy* influence, and keep bought politicians bought, and on HIS leash.
I've never heard of this guy, but I'd say he is a much bigger "problem" than Trump.
I’m pretty sure we gun owners can negate the impact of this Azzhat.
That cartoon nails it!
If someone takes offense to ol Al’s attempt to infringe on his 2nd amendment rights and decides he needs to have his ass soundly kicked, Al would want a gun, or someone with a gun to protect him.
Don’t tell me you’re looking for a cute RINO. How about Linda from SC?
Maybe he can buy a Judge.
Aha. A Jeb! loving, Trump hating, gun grabbing, amnesty supporting GoPos..I am shocked.
The Broward shooter was exactly what the DNC and their globalist masters needed, to change the focus away from the criminal Muler-er and Hillary treachery, and onto gun confiscation. How very coincidental that ...
Guillotines from orbit, i5t's the only way to drain the filth of liberalism and globalist oligarc hy.
There is to be NO DISCUSSION on Gun Control until The Wall is BUILT!

I can’t disagree. But how are we going to wall off the West Coast?
Lots of illegals came in via the West Coast..
That hot floriduh sun has fried his brain.
Because it's not about crime or killing. It's about making the people defenseless against a despotic government. You can't fight a despotic government with a car.
We really need to stop responding to the gun grabbers on the subject of crime and say that.
AR-15 is not an assault weapon is it? M16 and AK47 manufactured after 5/19/1986 are not legal.
Enforce the laws we have - take the guns away from felons who are not supposed to have them and leave law - abiding citizens alone.
Stop giving kids drugs that have side effects of mania, rage, suicidal/homicidal thoughts.
Stop having gun - free school zones - it’s really just a killing field.
Hire Security guards, and have secure entrance ways.
Put up barricades to prevent truck bombs.
Many ways to make schools safer.
If a person can’t buy a weapon legally, they will just get it on the black market. Or construct one at home.
When a pressure cooker was used as a bomb, we didn’t pass a law outlawing pressure cookers did we?
Passing gun laws only hurts law-abiding citizens.
Abbie’s brother?
The accepted figure by most pro-life groups for abortions in a year had been 1.5 Million through the 70s and 80s. The numbers have gone down since the mid-90s.
According to Focus on the Family, hardly a pro-abortion entity, abortions have not exceeded one million in a year since 1995. My math doesn’t work out to 300K or 3M a day to come up with fewer than 1 Million in a year.
One abortion is one too many, not sure why you all feel the need to exaggerate.

About the same age. They probably attended each other's Bar Mitzvah.
Amen Brother!
“A Jeb-Bush lovin RINO, probably anti-Trump and pro-illegal, too.”
Well yeah he’s a developer.
He needs all the mexicans he can find to slap together his flimsy houses as fast as he can.
These 2800+/- Sqft “McMansions” are thrown together from slab to finish in 73 days.
I was doing some work in a subdivision this past week and they poured three slabs for some McMansions on Tuesday, yesterday all three were framed out with tar paper on the roofs.
