Letting the NRA determine gun laws is as good a system as letting immigrants decide our immigration policies and Facebook deciding who becomes president. We do all three. How about our government does some fucking work for a change.

It's more about 2nd Amendment voters than the NRA. They are millions in key battleground states, and they vote AGAINST gun control. It's their top issue. (Whereas nobody votes FOR gun control). Of course the NRA has some influence over them, but not total control.

Sorry, but "NRA Evil" arguments don't cut it. Very complex issue. In my blue state, the NRA is not a factor. Gun rights are protected and expanded by local grass roots orgs. If you study state right to carry laws, they have been driven largely by local grass roots

Your criticism of your hallucination that I said the NRA is evil is noted. If any of this circles back to my opinions, let me know.

And this article shows it's a complex battle with many organizations involved. The NRA is not nearly as powerful as those against the right of self-defense claim they are. https://freebeacon.com/issues/gun-control-groups-quietly-lobbied-for-looser-gun-law-in-effort-to-undermine-scotus-case/amp/?__twitter_impression=true …

It's a decision. If politicians feel strongly enough about it, they can switch parties and see if the voters will follow them. But the people, who are the bosses of the politicians, have decided that they don't trust politicians who muck about with the right of self-defense.

It's not just Republicans who lose their jobs over this. Being on the wrong side of this issue cost Al Gore his home state of Tennessee, and West Virginia. Being pro-gun control made Al Gore a has-been instead of a president.

Enacting self-defense limits has costs. The people of Hong Kong know this. If they had a
#SeccondAmendment guarantee of the right to bear arms, their liberty would not hang by such a slender thread.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
