#USA>> Do you want *NAZI #Democrats TELLING you What you can EAT or How many Bullets you can DEFEND YOUR CHILDREN WITH? #STANDandFIGHT #tcot, tweeted @johnmatthew19 this week using the hashtag #StandandFight encouraged by the National Rifle Association, and the hashtag #tcot or TopConservativesonTwitter favored by the organizers of the Conservative Political Action Conference being held in Washington in two weeks.
At the same time that the gun lobby is helping to fuel threatening language on the Internet, it is trying to keep secret its financial backing for key witnesses testifying about gun violence before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
One witness, David Kopel, who testified on January 30, identified at the hearing as a law school adjunct professor, received more than $108,000 in grants from the NRAs Civil Rights Defense Fund in 2011. Another witness, David T. Hardy, testifying Wednesday as a private attorney in Tucson, Arizona, received $67,500 in grants from the same NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund in 2011. Another witness testifying Wednesday, Nicholas Johnson, a Fordham Law School professor, spoke a year ago at an NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund scholars seminar.

(1,315 posts)At some point you and others may wake up and realize you are far more empowering to the NRA than the piddly 4 million members.
I don't read their stuff, visit their websites, nor mention them on a daily basis. As a gun owner to me they are a non entity.
But keep on beating the drum, you make them relevant, not me.

(5,046 posts)As the the real effect of the "call for gun control" is really having.... A few pro gun control states enact way over the top anti-gun laws, and, most pro gun states, are becoming far MORE pro gun....they are clueless, and I no longer have any pity for them. But I must say, they have really rejuvenated the faltering gun rights moment.
It's been a real "BOOM" time for gun rights activists....
