GOP mega donor and real estate developer Al Hoffman Jr. says he will not write another check to Republicans until that pass an assault weapons ban.
The New York Times reports that Hoffman made this announcement via an email that he sent to Jeb Bush and Gov. Rick Scott (R), among others. Hoffman was a major contributor to the George W. Bush presidential campaign. He also donated more than $1 million to a PAC supporting Jeb Bushs failed presidential campaign bid.
Hoffman wrote, For how many years now have we been doing this having these experiences of terrorism, mass killings and how many years has it been that nothings been done? Its the end of the road for me. He added, I will not write another check unless they all support a ban on assault weapons. Enough is enough!
I have a feeling there are millions of Americans who will pony up, with $5 or $100 or whatever donations, because they care about the Second Amendment.
Oh, and btw, what has the GOP done for the President?
If he’s talking about the midterms, well, people who decide to vote based on expensive t.v. ads don’t even know what they really believe, IMO. You are either in favor of big government or you are not.
Ads featuring some couple sitting around a kitchen table discussing for whom they should vote...well, if that’s what it takes to “persuade” people, those people should just stay home.
Sorry, in a bit of a bad mood; just read the McConnell/Romney thread where suddenly the GOP wants President Trump to endorse Romney. LOL!

One last thing, Mr. Hoffman: Who made you the king of the world? You cannot re-write the Constitution.
Well said. This "sickness" is their fault. The debasing of our culture and traditions have lead to this current state of confusion. Hell has enlarged herself. Sexual deviants and those who love them rule the institutions. God's created order is anathema to them. The unborn are slaughtered. The disorder rages on.
I would add: What good does it do if we "see something" and then "say something", if that report goes unheeded? It didn't help in the case of Nikolas Cruz, where years of reports identified this fellow as a mass-shooter-most-likely.
Why do we have the FBI and other alphabet agencies? I see no Constitutional authorization for their existence. It's the responsibility of the "Militia" to execute the laws of union (Article I, Section 9, Para 15).
The praetorian guard protects the praetor, not the people.
What is an assault weapon anyway? I seriously thought it was an fully automatic weapon. I mean , what is the difference between say an AR-15 and a Glock 19? Aside from the fact that one is a rifle, one is a handgun and the caliber is different?
If I continue to pull the trigger on the Glock, bullets will continue to come out of it until the magazine is empty. Isn’t that the same on an AR or any other gun out there?
Trump obviously didn’t need his money.
Yawn.....plenty of liberal leftist baby killers that will be happy to take your $$$...think clintoon global imitative...
RINOs have been selling this boob prime tracts of DC swampland for years. This RE tycoon has made tremendous sums of money speculating in swamp futures. He is just trying to protect his investment.

This guy is like a bad employee threatening to quit.
It’s illegal to tie campaign contributions to legislation.
An 84-year-old, left-wing gun grabbing Never Trumper jewish liberal.
He can keep his dirty money and stick it where the sun don’t shine.
Ask him, or anyone advocating for this or other idiotic “gun control” laws one question - why? Then inform this obviously ill-informed person we had an “assault weapons” ban for ten (10) years. Numerous studies of crime data from that period show no statistically significant impact on crime, none. So why would anyone advocate for a law that is provably, demonstrably ineffective? You might as well advocate to force everyone to grow a vegetable garden - just as useful.
No worries mate. I promise to send a check to low energy yeb, for one million dollars, the next time he runs for President.
It's all good, the pubbies don't need to sweat the small stuff.
He is no republican. Just another buyer of swamp creatures.
Thank you for your reaping the whirlwind Malcolm Pollack post. If Democrats and other liberals want a “common sense” solution to the decay of America and it’s values, the should just look inward at what they themselves wrought.
Or like the daca illegals threatening to leave America if their putrid “demands” aren’t met. Morons. Imbeciles. Lunatics all.
How dare he think that our republican politicians can be bought! Oh wait, never mind.
Why doesn’t he just Move to Mexico where Guns are already banned?? They have ZERO Gun Violence because Guns are Illegal
He’s a Jeb supporter?
That tells me a lot.
