Nevada Democratic congressional candidate John Oceguera says he's renouncing his membership in the National Rifle Association in the wake of a mass shooting in Southern California.

Oceguera said he sent a letter to NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre on Thursday, saying he no longer wants to be associated with the group because it opposes legislation that would make it harder for terrorists, criminals and people with mental illness to get guns. He asked LaPierre to remove his name from the membership list.

The former speaker of the Nevada Assembly describes himself as a law-abiding gun owner and lifetime NRA member who grew up in a family of hunters.

1. So some Democrats are becoming brave and standing up to the evil gun lobby. Good to see.

2. Finally a Politician With a Backbone!

Hopefully other Democratic and Republican politicans will follow Mr. Oceguera and leave the NRA!

Mr. Oceguera is risking political suicide by giving up his NRA membership, but he's putting the safety of the American people ahead of the NRA!

Besides politicians, gun owners across the country should resign from the NRA!

Why do Americans need all these weapons?

No other country in the world has these deadly weapons!
No other country in the world has this number of citizens killed by guns!

Don't blame the movies, video games etc, BECAUSE Canada our neighbor to the north and all the other countries in the world DO NOT have people going on rampages killing people!

Let's REPEAL the SECOND AMENDMENT and BAN GUNS from AMERICAN citizens!
These politicians need to STAND UP to the NRA!

Thank you Mr. Oceguera for standing up to the NRA!!!
