Good people have a fear that bad people including the gov. are going to hurt them so they buy a gun.


The NRA are experts at whipping up a frenzy of fear but we need them as a check to the outright seizures of firearms and the destruction of the second amendment.
This is silly, when buying goes up the price goes down. We see you are not a thrifty shopper.

Some people are like people who have a million apps on their phones or buy every new toy, some would like to have a million guns. People really over analyze gun owners......

Um, you should know that the NRA President actually wrote a letter in National Rifleman telling people that the ammunition shortage was due to profiteers and not "big gov". It's not the NRA that whips up a frenzy of fear but rather fringe websites and of course....people that sell those items lol.

Hillary is going to run primaries bringing up guns guns guns.....then will shut up about it in the general election if she gets that far because it will hurt her in several swing states.

If you want to know what her opinions are on a topic, just look at the current Gallup polls on key swing state topics.

Remember, she's the one that was going to take those record oil company profits. lmao.

No they didnt. Republican votes were down across the board, just as Democratic votes was, people just didnt vote in 2014.

Poll: NRA more popular than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton | Fox News

Despite Criticism, NRA Still Enjoys Majority Support in U.S.




And progressives will still ignore reality and try to claim that the US is left of center and tilting left and that everyone hates the NRA.
Gallup chose not to release any presidential polls in 2015/16 race until the general because they got the general so wrong last time. Now they have stopped releasing the specifics of their methodology.

That is troubling, especially considering I remember some of those last polls where they did, and the break down by demographics in no way matched up with that of the general public. There was a time where they were also using the argument of "likely voters" as well, which meant you had to vote in all 3 of the last major elections, so no one between the ages of 18 and 21 was counted.

I cannot help it that you didn't pay attention to key rural Senate races and how the NRA and Hillarys 2014 gun comments in the media played into them.

The GOP should nominate Wayne LaPierre for prez.

After all, Pubs love chickenhawks.

Gallup gives up the horse race - POLITICO

Quote:
It's a stunning move for an organization that built its reputation on predicting the winners of presidential elections. But it comes at a time of unusual tumult in the polling world. Other top-level brands like the nonprofit Pew Research Center have yet to poll the horse race, and still others have expressed concern about the accuracy of polling at a time when fewer people are reachable or willing to talk to pollsters.
Gallup had vowed to examine its methods closely after 2012. And after a lengthy post-mortem, Gallup editor-in-chief Frank Newport promised to be ready “when the next presidential election” arrived. But so far, Gallup hasn’t been willing to put its methods to the test.
Newport told POLITICO that Gallup has shifted its resources into understanding issues facing voters — and won’t be following the primary horse races, other than asking about how Americans feel about the individual candidates.
