Can you imagine, a President re-activating his campaign, to go up against the powerful lobbyist NRA. That would be AMERICA vs NRA.
well,
The next question would be : Which side are you on? When was the last time a President did something like this? I am supporting the President, what about you?

I believe the pres is smart enough to not go toe to toe with the NRA. All that he'll do is drive up their membership.

(12,461 posts)Re activating his campaign. The appearance (Gladiator style -catch interests) President against NRA- Just Election campaign 2.0.
I see red flags everywhere here. Alex Jones,and these people who mutter words about "blood of patriots and trees", along with, "This is my rifle, this is my gun..." Being fed 24/7 he is some closeted Muslim Hitler..and oh yeah, the brown mongrels are coming for our stuff. Most of them, are heavily armed. People like Alex Jones...Living in an altered reality. I see a big red flag. We have to break the NRA. And start dealing with the problem we have.

Now Obama has signed legislation similar to what the NRA proposed.

Sometimes, for the greater good, you have to stop being a child and sacrifice for the greater good. It's part of the social contract and human progress.
