Believing what a spoiled 17 year old brat, who is clueless on life, is saying to the world,

Will the Liberals EVER get a clue?


Liberals listen and verify by checking the facts. In this case, Rubio has taken a great deal of $$ from the NRA and his voting record seems to indicate this cash bought his loyalty.

The real clueless ones are the guys who believe whatever nonsense they read on redstate or bigleaguepolitics. How many times can Trump supporters fall for the same BS lies? I guess a lot--otherwise there wouldn't be so many websites that pander to them.

Abortion survivors? Lol wtf


Yes - it's a thing.

Then there are the hundreds of thousands of children who were adopted as opposed to being aborted.

Not to mention humans born with Downs Syndrome who were given the chance to live.

Hogg Yesterday: "Fucking NRA BLood on Your Handz The Revolution is Coming We are Taking YOUR GUNS! We are the future!! Tremble with Fear you pathetic fools!!'
Hogg Today: "I'm just a kid, everybody boycott people who make fun of meeeeeee Waaaaah."

AltLeft Everyday: "Take these kids seriously."

Oh, the old days, when there was only a daily paper and some news channels, and it was easy to create the illusion that something totally nuts was reasonable and you were the only one of a handful aside from a tiny handful of people on some BBS or usenet forum who saw through the BS.

Thank God the Legacy Media Brainwash is Kaput from Competition by two-way communications tools.

He's a wonderful influence. Now the dumbass 60s era rejects and professional activists who haven't been outside LA, DC, and NY in 30 years certainly think so.

You know, the kind of brilliant people who lost a rigged election, despite raising almost double the money, will the Legacy Media running 90% negative stories against their gal's opponent, with help from the FBI getting FISA warrants on fake info from their Oppo Research PR Firm to smear a candidate.

Let them keep on thinking so.

lol. It is amazing that Trump supporters are in such a bubble that they have no idea how these issues are really playing in the country. All they know is how their extreme base reacts.

Here's a little real data:

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/380443-students-leading-gun-violence-protests-seen-more-favorably-than

"A majority of respondents, 56 percent, see the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who organized Saturday's March for Our Lives, in a positive light, compared to 34 percent who say they have an unfavorable view of them.
By comparison, only 39 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of the NRA, the powerful gun rights lobbying group that has vehemently opposed the student-led protests. Forty-four percent of respondents have a negative view."

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/379939-ap-poll-finds-highest-support-for-gun-control-in-five-years

"Nearly 7 in 10 adults surveyed in the Associated Press–NORC poll are now in favor of stronger gun control laws, the highest measure of support in the five years the AP has asked the question. Overall, 69 percent of those polled favored stricter gun control measures, a large jump from the 55 percent who indicated support in an October 2013 poll."

This is a NOT a winning issue for Republicans. But, by all means, keep mocking high school kids! Keep calling them names!

I'm sure suburban soccer Moms will react favorably to that...

Why does it matter if voters pool capital to support guns rights and political proponents of those rights?

The extreme left has proven the value of an NRA membership. I don't own any guns, but I may join the nra today because the 2nd amendment is both of vital importance and under attack.

Define "buy votes". The NRA collects money from millions of americans and gives money to 2nd A proponents. Period. It's as democratic and grassroots as a political organization gets.

Giving money to a candidate in return for a guarantee that he/she will vote in the way you tell them to.

lol. Grassroots is giving money to a candidate because you share his views. NRA instructs candidates how to vote and keeps a scorecard to blackmail them. Threatens to finance their opponents if they don't vote the way the NRA orders them to.

The NRA is the exact opposite of grassroots and democratic. It is part of the swamp.

Yup, the NRA is one of the biggest organizations in the United States. I think only AAA and AARP are larger.

.

Left out of your quote:

Americans view the students who led nationwide protests against gun violence more positively than the National Rifle Association (NRA), according to a survey released Tuesday by the left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling.


It's very dangerous to believe one's own BS from a Push Poll.

Indeed, the long term term trend - aside from asking people just after a tragedy - is that support for banning "assault weapons" is decreasing.

Polling on the issue is clear. In 2012 support for an “assault weapon” ban had slipped almost 30 points, to 49 percent, and in 2014 Pew Research reported that for the first time in two decades most Americans support the right to keep and bear arms over more gun control. A massive majority of Americans – almost 70 percent – say they prefer to live in neighborhoods where people can own guns.

A Suffolk University/USA Today poll in 2015 found that most Americans, by an impressive margin of 52 to 43 percent, did not want gun control to be a factor in the 2016 elections. Hillary Clinton ignored these findings and bashed the NRA and gun-owners every chance she got – which is part of the reason Donald Trump currently resides in the White House.

https://www.fff.org/explore-freedom/article/gun-control-losing-issue-democrats-know

Then we have PA-18, where the blue dog winner-by-a-hair Conor Lamb went out of his way to support Gun Rights and to make clear he didn't support an assault weapons ban. If he had been a Gun Grabber, Lamb certainly would have lost one of the few elections Democrats have won since Trump entered office.

And in all many areas of the country that aren't Urban Heavily Blue districts, Democrats lose, lose, lose, on Gun Control. There isn't a campaign adviser anywhere that recommends Democrats campaign on Gun Control, because its a losing issue for them. From Chuck Schumer to Chris Murphy, Democrat bigwigs are urging candidates to avoid the Gun Control issue like the plague in the Midterms.

November is a long way off. And even CNN can't keep beating the Gun Control drum for 7-8 months straight.

Not anymore. It's a losing issue in very rural areas, for certain. But in the suburbs where the Dems are going flip a lot of seats in Nov., it is absolutely a winning issue. Commercials of Republican politicians and talking heads mocking high school kids who survived a school shooting will be big wins.

The NRA has a -15% favorability rating. It's too bad Rubio isn't up for election this year--he would be hammered with that.

I think one very inexpensive way to bolster the national defense is to have the Federal Government subsidize AR-15 and 5.56mm ammo purchases with a tax credit via some CMP program. And maybe set up ranges in National Guard Armories free of charge with full time coaches.

UPDATE: It wasn't all pork. Some of it is common sense Defense Appropriations.
Army mandated to turn over surplus M1911 pistols to CMP Program.
