Like thousands of others who had waited hours in line for a seat at the National Rifle Assn.'s annual Leadership Forum on Friday, she was craning her neck toward the stage as the syrupy lyrics of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." blared through speakers.
Then he appeared and told them exactly what they wanted to hear.
“With me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms,” former President Trump blathered to rapturous applause. "They want to take away your guns while throwing open the jailhouse doors and releasing bloodthirsty criminals into your communities."
To listen to Trump — as I forced myself to do in Indianapolis, sitting among the Venn diagram of his supporters and NRA members — is to listen to a man who seems wholly detached from reality.

Erika D. Smith has her HUHA. Look at these no-nothing “journalist” women libbers who know nothing and spout off all day...
“They want to take away your guns while throwing open the jailhouse doors and releasing bloodthirsty criminals into your communities.”
Where is the lie? That is the Left’s agenda. They know it better than those who are supposed to oppose them. How is that even a controversial thing to say?
Where’s the part that they admit that he’s right? Won’t click.
.....”.....she was craning her neck toward the stage as the syrupy lyrics of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” blared through speakers......”
oh, I just love it....! I hope Lee’s famous song stays in her liberal-assed head for days and days, if not weeks and weeks....she probably thinks anything larger than a Beretta 92FS is an “assault rifle” and probably could not tell the difference between a round of drinks and an ammo round...Hey, Erika.....go suck an egg.......!!
Where’s the list of mass killers who were members of the NRA?
Good people with guns do not use them, except when they use them to kill bad people with guns!
Erika, if you’re reading this, you haven’t talked to me yet. I have owned guns for over 40 years, long before any of this outrageous so’called “gun” violence started. I was carrying way before most people carried.
I’ve been terminated from SEVERAL jobs simply for being religiously and secularly conservative. I haven’t raised my gun against a single unjust supervisor nor any coworker responsible for my work difficulties. So, when can WE get together and talk about the REAL reason all of this is happening?
Don’t be a coward and get someone to PM me with your contact info. Let’s talk.

We could easily take half of the guns off the streets and drastically reduce gun crime if we just outlawed liberals having guns.
Sweetie: Here are some facts:
Local KNOWN drug dealer rolls down my driveway in broad daylight—noon—opens chained gate with livestock inside & continues toward my front door.
He is threatening me—I am home alone in LOG HOUSE—and he keeps advancing.
After MULTIPLE commands from me to STOP-—TURN AROUND— GO BACK THRU GATE—CLOSE/CHAIN GATE BEHIND HIMSELF—he finally stops advancing.
He is mouthing off at me.
I finally pull MY 12 gauge shotgun out from inside the main door. I KEEP IT LOADED.
He sorta stops, but then keeps coming, saying “YOU won’t shoot ME”.
I tell him: “THAT IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU....I WILL SHOOT YOU”.
He stops, but there is 15-20 second standoff with no words.
I tell him multiple times “I WILL SHOOT”.
Finally, he turns & goes back thru gate & drives off, but he has left gate open-—which is a FELONY where there are livestock & gate was chained.
I run & close gate.
I call the County Sheriff:
“Sir-—What would you have done to me IF I HAD SHOT I KILLED HIM OUTSIDE OF MY 8” LOG HOUSE? NO ONE would have heard me scream from inside that house”.
Sheriff is quiet for a few seconds: Then he says:
“I think we would have thrown you a party”.
HE WOULD NOT HAVE GONE AFTER ME FOR “NOT WAITING UNTIL HE WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE”.
I repeat: “NO CHARGES???” HE says “NONE”.
I thank him & hang up.
Drug dealer is found dead about a year later—thought to be a drug deal gone bad-—but NO ONE worked too hard to find out the story.
I haven’t changed my thoughts about shooting if I feel threatened.
Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Bald-faced lie.
She assumes what is not in evidence.
She cannot confront reality.
I think she refuses to believe the truth.
Interesting thought, almost certainly false.
Brazil has 5% of the guns we do, per capita, and four times the crime rate.
You need very few guns to have a high crime rate.
I should note that Indiana’s governor, Eric Holcomb, signed a bill last year that eliminated the licensing requirement for a handgun, meaning most Hoosiers 18 and older can carry one in public without ever having received a background check.
This is an outright fallacy, a lie, and nothing but false. Everyone who buys a gun from a store gets a background check. It’s been proven time and time again that the government drops the ball on these, however.
