GOP Mega Donor: No More Money Without ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban
BREITBART | 17 Feb 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 02/18/2018 5:32:57 AM PST by Cheerio

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 Bush’s 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 nothing’s been done? It’s 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!”

Al Hoffman Jr. is a walking stereotype that the GOP could do without.

So, if he withholds his money, who will be hurt?

Gun control and abortion are probably the main two reasons why the majority of wage-earning Republicans vote Republican.

The basic problem is you have a dysfunctional mental health system that is not delivering help to these disturbed individuals who leave plenty of clues in advance which is a cry for help.

"also donated more than $1 million to a PAC supporting Jeb Bush’s failed presidential campaign bid."

So he took $1 million of his hard-earned money and he threw it out the window!

Kinda doubt he's a Trump supporter.

Maybe he should send his money to Kamala Harris or Fauxcahontas in 2020.

To this libreal RINO nitwit....Do you hinestly think that anyone who owns an AR-15, or AR-10 is going to surrender them?

Ask Andrew Cuomo what the compliance rate was for the NY-SAFE act registry for “assault weapons”. It was less than 0.05%.

The people need to understand that illegal isn’t synonymous with unavailable.

I think there are some people who have convinced themselves that, if guns are banned, there will be no guns ... even though that's never worked for any other product.
