“I think they showed that in the fact that voters sent a message at the midterms to their elected leaders, and the message boils down to: Pass laws to keep us safe,” he added.

By far the biggest success of the year for the group was turning over the House to the dark side, replacing as many as 15 NRA-“A”-rated Republicans with anti-gun Democrats, as the Wall Street Journal reported.

“The NRA lobbyists are like cockroaches. Just when you think you’ve gotten rid of all of them, you shine a flashlight and there they are,” Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, the grassroots arm of Everytown for Gun Safety told NBC News.

You are absolutely correct. They love to spin things to make themselves feel good.

Same old song and dance.

Claim a huge victory hoping some idiots will think you really won something and send you money.

Well Mom and Dads Demand Action, not a NRA lobbyist or member. Just a 66 year old American veteran and law enforcement and corrections officer. I will provide some action for you! I will actively defend the United States Constitution and the Rights that it provides to all American citizens. I will support and campaign for any politicians regardless of political affiliation that stands strong in support of the Constitution and our Rights. I will actively work and campaign against any politician regardless of political affiliation that seeks to limit our Rights or to impose restrictions to them. How do you like that action?

Financially, the NRA is in big trouble. They have axed two of their NRA TV programs, the Dan Bongino Show and NRA Cam and Company (Who? you may ask? That's part of the problem...)

Their latest financial disclosures shows that the NRA is $32 million in the hole.

The only good gun-grabber is a dead gun-grabber.

They might as well pull the trigger on the innocent people they leave defenseless. That’s why they are better dead than alive. Murder by proxy is still murder.

Gun control is why they want more illegals in for the drug trade. It equals more gun deaths which gives them more ammo for gun control issues.

I've been an NRA member since 1967, and have donated many thousand of dollars to the NRA.

I like Dan Bongino, but have never watched him or any of the NRA TV programs. If the NRA TV isn't successful, tough crap, move on.

The NRA will survive and thrive, because there are millions of patriots that would rather die fighting, than surrender our 2A rights.

If you think the NRA is in financial trouble, go back to school for accounting 101.

I’ve been an NRA member since 1977. And Wayne LaPierre has run the NRA into the ground.

Don't think so. They simply aren't taking 2A cases. That allows Circuit Courts to set stare decisis, which is usually anti-2A.

that was true before Kavanaugh got there but is changing now. when the sleeping lady doesn’t wake up it is going to even get worse for you.

you can spin it any damn way you want but Kavanaugh’s views on 2A has been well published.

the gun grabbers can put their crap where the sun don’t shine. When SCOTUS rules their laws are worthless.

The NRA lobbyists are like cockroaches.

Where others may see a noxious insult, I see a dangerous warning. If people such as this who harbor such a venomous attitude toward those who disagree with them, be worried, very worried should they ever achieve real power. Demeaning your opponents, reducing to them to a status beneath humanhood (especially as disgusting insects), is a tactic as old as mankind; and a definite precursor to mass extermination.

No she's not, she recently moved there thanks to all the money Blumberg and Soros pay her. She's part of the invasion that are ruining the state.

Never said she was a native, just said she lives there. I moved here when I got stationed at Ft. Caron in 1979. Ten years later and a couple of moves we returned and consider it home.

I get that. She moved to the peoples republic a year or so ago, so to me that ain’t “from” here. Glad you stayed though, and thanks for your service.
