RUSH: Ill holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a printed piece from the recent issue of The Politico magazine, and the headline: Why the NRA Always Wins. And in the second paragraph is their answer: Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh went on Fox News, right after an interview with several Parkland [student] survivors critical of the gun lobby but of course theyre not political, you see to scold those who bash the NRA and insist the only solution to school shootings is concealed carry in the schools.
Why does the NRA always win, despite the repeated national traumas, and despite poll after poll showing a majority in favor
? You know, I can answer this. I havent read any further. I just saw the headline, and Snerdley pointed it out to me. I told you why they win. Its not because they give away money, and this piece says that. Its not the money. Its the culture. Exactly. The NRA is pikers as donors, compared to the others. Ive been giving you the numbers the last two programs. I dont need to repeat it. The NRAs strength comes in its massive membership with average, ordinary Americans who appreciate, respect and love the organization and what it does and it simply is unbeatable with standard Drive-By Media-led persecution techniques.
They aren't. They're a synthetic focus for media hatred, and that's all. They can't elect anybody, but people who agree with them can and do.
And that's what's amusing about this persistent media trope - sure, eliminate the NRA and the rest will fall into place, right? Not even close. Five million NRA members, a hundred million gun owners. You can start a war on the former but it's the latter who you'll have to fight.
Indeed, not to mention the NRA just shafted us advising Trump to ban bump stocks, another hypocrit legislation that will be used to fund for FBi campaign against Trump and not to fight crime...
