America vs NRA - Which side are you on?

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?

They are all about creating a climate of fear and paranoia and the resulting spike in gun sales. They are corporate whores who know which side of their bread is buttered.

Not to split hairs.

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.

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.

hundreds of gun deaths piling up after Sandy Hook. Ableism, bigotry, misdirection, fascism.

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

wtf

The right side....The side that holds with the notion that the NRA is a dangerous entity...The side that believes the vast majority of the people screaming the loudest over their right to own military grade weaponry,really shouldn't be allowed,for their own safety,to have SHOELACES!!...On America's side,not uhmerka's....

No one is entitled to any right. That's laughable.

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.

I support the President, but I believe that he is making a huge mistake by attacking gun owners rights.
