Left-wing politicians, activists and journalists are using the worst mass shooting in modern American history to attack one of the nation’s oldest civil rights organizations.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) became a convenient scapegoat following the Las Vegas mass shooting that left at least 58 people dead and more t

In case you missed Rush today, he cited some stats that will become even MORE important as the left & Democrats (but I repeat myself!) callously EXPLOIT the Las Vegas tragedy to advance one of their top two agenda items: TO DISARM DECENT, LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS!
The anti-gun measures now on the books in liberal controlled cities like Chicago, New York, LA, etc. have done NOTHING to keep criminals from getting all the firearms THEY want and they have the homicide rates to prove it.
The charts at the link below are per Pew Research for the period between 1993 to 2014. (I tried to find more recent data but could not. If YOU find it, please respond with the URL.) http://tinyurl.com/j572zsu
What you need to know is that during those years, PRIVATE GUN OWNERSHIP HAS MARKEDLY INCREASED. The number USED to be around 270 million private firearms. Gun sales have surged since until now, mid-2017, we own an estimated 400 MILLION guns.
Those statistics prove the case Professor John Lott made years ago in his study and book “More Guns, Less Crime.”
If you are still unclear as to WHY the Democrats MUST disarm those of us who do not share their vision of their cockamamie Utopian centrally controlled society in which all will be “equal” (but some — THEY — will be more equal than us ignorant “proles”), the videos and the comments below may help.
The Utopian socialist libs are NOT GOING TO QUIT. NEITHER CAN WE!

Back in the early 80s, I attended a speech by the late Arkady Shevchenko, then the highest-ranking Soviet official to defect to the West. He had been their top guy at the UN.
He spoke, interestingly, at KENNESAW COLLEGE — and we all know what Kennesaw is famous for! I’m proud to have played a small role in helping Mayor Darvin Purdy get that legislation through the Kennesaw City Council.
Shevchenko’s talk dealt with the clear intent of the leadership of the old Soviet Union (12/5/2015 UPDATE: ADD THE CURRENT LEFTIST CONTROLLED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO THAT LIST!) to somehow take America. He mentioned their ICBMs and the nuclear blackmail threat they posed. (12/5/2015 UPDATE: MAKE THAT THE MUSLIMS!)
Then he broke from his prepared remarks and offered the audience this wisdom:
“The leaders of my country are as AFRAID OF YOUR 200 MILLION (12/5/2015 UPDATE: MAKE THAT 380 MILLION AND COUNTING!) PRIVATE FIREARMS as they are of your ICBMs. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS.”
Frankly — and, while he had to be careful as he was under FBI protection at the time, Shevchenko alluded to this in his remarks — I’m as concerned about some domestic tyrant (say, a Hillary, Nancy Pelosi, Barack HUSSEIN Obama or Chuck Schumer) as I am about some foreign enemy.
And it is THAT threat about which the Founding Fathers were concerned that prompted them to leave us the Second Amendment.
The BIG question is: WILL WE KEEP IT?

As a Life Member of the NRA, I agree with your statement. It’s all out war.
I might have to re-join.
Yeh it reeks of FF. Well mission accomplished as Paul Ryan announced that the hearing protection act is dead.

Colfax massacre: On Easter Sunday of 1873, in the bloodiest racial attacks during Reconstruction, white Democrats slaughtered as many as 153 African-Americans at the Colfax, La., courthouse and later as other victims were being held prisoner.
But since Democrats were doing the killing, there is no mention of it.
What are the Nevada cc laws. How much time did the assassin think he’d have before someone, police or not, broke in and shot him?
Ha ha ha. WAR? What you know bout that?
“Americans are going to have to give up some civil liberties and freedoms if they want to be safe”
I feel perfectly safe right now. My first alert Malinois is in the mud room, my Glock 30 with two mags is in my briefcase, the AKM is loaded in the bedroom with five loaded 30 round mags just in case.
I think I’ll pass on this giving up freedom thing.
