The problem is the tool which can shoot multiple rounds for max effect. And why are they so easy to get. You think mental illness is the issue but they have no problem buying one.

A trip into the leftwing gun-banner's mind:
__________________________________________________ ________________________

We must ban the blacks! They're scary!

Guns, that is. Black PEOPLE are great. I love black people. How about that Beyonce? She's amazing. And Precious. She is so brave. I'm not black but wish I were so I could be a "person of color". Being colorful sounds amazing. But instead I will hate myself for my white skin. I wonder if Bernie Sanders hates himself too? I like that he doesn't like the big corporations. I don't like them either. They won't give me a job because I was true to myself and majored in Gender Studies with a minor in Lesbian Economics. I don't know why they hate me. I have a lot to offer.

What was I talking about??

Oh yah. Guns.

The black guns are frightening.
It makes me wet my bed and then my parents get mad at me.
They have that thing that goes up! I don't like things that go up! I'm afraid of things that go up!

Well, its noon. Off to work. I work at a non-profit because like I was saying the evil corporations won't give me a job. My work at the non-profit is much more rewarding. I'm a community organizer. I get people all riled up and ready to RESIST the Cheeto! I also show them how to vote even if they aren't documented. They are still Americans even though they don't speak or read our language or have any skills or pay taxes.

Now where are my skinny jeans? Oh yah, that's right. Mom! did you wash my jeans??

Again Big Donors get their way.

They are doubly vital in off year elections, as overall funding is lower.

You can bet some Senators and Congressmen with high NRA ratings need depends tonight.

oh please... multiple rounds.. so anything more than a musket?

heck I can MAKE a gun... very easy actually


what about revolvers??

I could take my 44mag 6shooter with 6 reloaders (36 shots total) at take out 36 people (nearly taking their heads off) in less than 3 minutes

what about swords??

... the sword I made, (razor sharp too) taken into a place with soft targets (like a school or movie theater) and I could decapitate 4 dozen people in less than 5 minutes

what about koolaid?
jim jones took out 600 people with a pitcher of koolaid


its not about the TOOL...its the nutjobs out there


I have no problem with background checks.. or even expanded background checks.. I even WANT them

why are liberals so hung up on a 22cal rifle(ar15)... is it because its black

He took a got a shyte ton of money from the NRA alone.

Super PACs are routinely established for the benefit of politicians. Donations are unlimited. Funds are used for opposition research, attack ads and smear campaigns.

By law, the politician has no control over funds and many claim no knowledge

Our definition matters little.

This thread is about Big $$$$$$, someone else's $$$$$, he with Big checkbook sets the rules.

he'll get his way, or the House will flip to the Democrats.

Does not take drying up too much cash to swing off year elections.
