Trump and Republicans don't hate gun control because of the NRA. They just love guns.

Cretins who hate humans so much they chop them up alive in the womb have no standing.

“Identity is a deeper motivator than money, and, for those who want to end gun violence, a more intransigent one.”

Here is my other question or observation to the writer then. If there is this deep seated identity with guns for Republicans, then that must be even more the case with Jamaicans since after the Gun Court law was created and passed in 1973 that basically banned civilian firearms ownership, guns continue to be that fact of life down there and that the violence has continued unabated and infinitely worse than before that law.

At least the basic premise of the article is correct and counter to the popular myth on the Left: Opposition to gun control is not driven by the NRA leadership or by gun manufacturers. The NRA and major manufacturers like Ruger and Smith & Wesson were more than happy to compromise on gun control until we set them straight.

I particularly liked this quote: “As Republican Party organizer Leonard Junker asserted, ‘I truly believe that they want to disarm us.’ The ‘they,’ of course, being liberals.”

He implies that this is “paranoia,” but doesn’t attempt to actually deny the obvious truth of Junker’s statement.

I cannot speak for the President or Republicans, and I don’t have any special love for guns. It’s just that I hope that fellow minded patriots will shoot politicians should they “betray their constituents.”

Oh, and liberty.

Yep, we love liberty.

And our means to keep it.

So there’s that.

“Tiny Tim’s grandson”

Please....Tiny Tim was an OK human being with a unique musical style and AFAIK was never involved in politics.

Look up this Berlatsky. Even fellow lefties can’t stand him, especially feminists.

Someone who loves guns wouldn’t have a gun control package advancing under them in silence.. reminds me of obamacare.
We don’t know what is in the prez’s gun control.. why not?

They love liberty. They love America. They love the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The gun grabbers hate all of those - and they hate those who love them.

I have yet to meet a liberal who can show me the hunting clause or the target shooting provision in the 2A.

Are you going to go grocery shopping this week, or are you just going to let God provide for you?
