A gun bill that only goes after law abiding citizens and does nothing to criminals

Point out WHERE those three names are in the article, please!

“”Joining Mr. McConnell in voting for the bill were GOP leadership allies, including Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa and Todd Young of Indiana. Also supporting the bill were swing-state Republicans, like Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

Moderate Republicans provided a substantial share of the vote, including Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.””

Rounding out the group was retiring Sens. Rob Portman of Ohio, Roy Blunt of Missouri and Richard Burr of North Carolina.

Where did that come from? Now I guess I’m not a paying subscriber of the paper, I can’t get back to it.

Wayne LaPierre and his gang have definitely mastered how to milk the organization of its funds.

“rewrite of the nation’s firearm laws”

The ONLY legitimate “law” regarding arms is the second Amendment RESTRICTING GOOBERMINT.

Anything else is bastardization.

14 Republican Senators betrayed Americans and the US Constitution by voting for this bill

The NRA is toothless and will remain so until they’ve put Pepe LaPierre in the rear view mirror.

Unfortunately, too many people believe the myth that no one apart the NRA is capable of doing the heavy lifting. The truth is, the principle reason the smaller organizations (SAF, JPFO, GOA, etc) don’t get as much traction is they are under-funded. And the chief reason they are under-funded is because the NRA sucks up the lion’s share of the available capital out of the pro-RKBA ecosphere.

And the chief reason gun owners haven’t monetarily abandoned the NRA en masse (which would make those moneis available to go elsewhere) is that they’re comfortable with their “old NRA” point-of-view. And unless and until the bottom falls out of the donations, the NRA isn’t going to clean house.

To be blunt, those who continue to support the NRA are too dim-witted to realize their contunued support is the single biggest reason the NRA is (and will remain) so financially corrupt.

At this juncture, donating to the NRA in the interest of preserving RKBA/2A is nothing but whistling past the graveyard, and a waste of money that could be better applied elsewhere.

The power of the incumbency seems to prove this

What makes this even worse is that this leaves room for a couple of vulnerable Dems to vote against it and look like something they aren’t.

Visit their homes. Clarance and Amy need some folks to commiserate with. Democrats too.

Good Grief - just fly under the radar and ignore these asshats. Complaining will do nothing. If you want something, figure out a way to get it and stop worrying about whether you’ll get a visit.
