Nevada Democratic House candidate John Oceguera renouncing NRA membership after mass shooting
AP/daily journal ^ | december 3, 2015

Nevada Democratic congressional candidate John Oceguera says he's renouncing his membership in the National Rifle Association in the wake of a mass shooting in Southern California.

Oceguera said he sent a letter to NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre on Thursday, saying he no longer wants to be associated with the group because it opposes legislation that would make it harder for terrorists, criminals and people with mental illness to get guns.

Political whore.

He only had an NRA membership so he could play both sides of the aisle.

Bye dumbass! I do fervently hope that someone with balls (or the feminine equivalent thereof) and a gun is around if/when you or yours encounter such a situation. If you’re that incredibly dense, you’ll need ‘em.

Someone should propose legislation that would make it harder for terrorists, criminals and people with mental illness to get to Washington.

Go ahead stupid Rat and give up your guns. Announce to the world— leave a cup of tea and goodies for the invading refugees to the house. Lieberalism IS a mental disorder and a spiritual dementia too.

Judging by the public reaction to these shootings - mad rush to buy firearms - this may not have been the most prudent course for this putz to take.

But hey, lets encourage all leftists to speak their heart on the issue of guns. Especially Hillary Clinton.

Brilliant. That may buy him a few votes from the far-left loony farm during the primaries, but I can’t imagine that trying to blame Americans’ rights for a terrorist attack is going to go over well among the general public. At all.

My son had the day off so he went over to the court house to get his carry permit. He just got back. He told me there were two applicants before him and three arrived after he got there. Still, the Sheriff in our little county of 68K American citizens processed my son’s permit in less than 30 minutes.

I find it hard to believe that anyone, seemingly educated, is that stupid....all of the guns used here were legally purchased in a state with extreme gun control laws.

Let's just pass a law that says if you intend to kill another human with this gun, you can't buy it....that should fix everything.

No, the word has gone out from the Marxist-In-Chief that all Dems have to get on board Obama’s and Hillary’s anti-Second Amendment train or they will be left at the station.

The Left never stops, they never quit, they don’t care about anything other than growing the power of government over “the masses”). They’re coming for your guns(and there’s many ways to skin that cat other than confiscation). Count on it.

My suggestion is if you want a semi-auto you better buy it now. And as always, buy more ammo.

Idiot. The biggest problem was it was a gun- free zone. Safe easy soft sitting inviting target

The level of firearms purchasing has more then doubled in just the few years obsma has occupied our WH. And that’s just the “legal” (licensed” sales. These anti- American gun- grabbing idiot political hacks are the best stimulant since the invention of Viagra
