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

The question is not relevant.

I am staying on topic, which is, essentially, money , as always, talks.

I haven't seen any proposals from him since the Pulse shooting, maybe he's still working out the details.
CNN hosted a Townhall meeting tonight.

Trump declined the invitation to make a personal appearance or by video.

FBI did likewise.

Governor Scott did likewise.

State legislators declined.

Both Senators showed.

House Rep showed.

Dana Loesch showed.

School Supintendent showed.

County Sheriff showed.

Mayor showed.

No matter what one thinks about Rubio and or NRA it took guts to show and face thousands of seriously grieving people, including parents who just buried their children.

A Junior got in Rubio’s face and point blank asked him to commit to not taking another dime from the NRA. Rubio danced. The student persisted. Rubio danced faster. The student persisted. Rubio continued to dance. The moderator ended it.

NRA membership is about 5 million, no?

In contrast AARP has 40 million or so members.

the topic (title) is donor will not write a check UNTIL A ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN

I asked a simple...very simple question...what is an assault weapon

you said he determines that

so I asked nicely again...what is HIS definition of an assault weapon

again you move the goalposts, and try to spin this about money.... its about an assault weapons ban...


so again......someone... what are we trying to define an assault weapon as??????.... because the tiny 22cal ar15 is NOT an assault weapon

now a M16 (the MILITARIZED version ) would be...because it can fire on full AUTOMATIC.... or the M60 7.62mm machine gun... but they are already heavily restricted

Well thats odd..why are liberals willing to protest in the streets to keep those abortion factories open 24/7? Why would democrats keep demanding to increase funding by hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to expand it? I thought they were supposed to be the ones saying black lives matter...?
