The Repugs Have A Perfect Opportunity To Get Out From Under The NRA's....

hold on their Party. They can work under the cover of Trump. There is power in numbers. If all the Repugs banded together and went with real gun reform - the NRA wouldn't be able to afford to primary all of them.

They should think about this as this could be a crushing blow to the NRA.

but I think you are giving them too much credit. They aren't smart enough to recognize what is happening. Personally, I hope they never catch on. It will make it that much easier to vote them out.

So why not use the opportunity to drown the NRA and stop with the 2nd Amendment loyalty oaths and purity tests.

We’d still have lots s of rational things to agree on, but this would be one to kick to the curb in the name of sanity.

They need to show people they are straight, christian and love their wives and husbands. Can't do that without money. Much as I hate it, those ads work in certain parts of the country.
