When for profit companies start feeling the impact from this 'abstract' perversion of the 2nd amendment, they are gonna DO something about it. I'm thinking the NRA is afraid of what the $$ from the other side will do. Americans want background checks and sensible laws in place - nada - politicians can ignore the poll numbers. They'll just lie about it to get the vote. What they want/need is the $$.

I agree it is a monster & now the nra is going to be dealing with it. People will see these idiots in grocery stores, hardware stores, restaurants & realize they've been fed a line of bull$hit from the gop. I mean really realize deep down how ludicrous and flimsy they're 'proclamations' of 'Merica and it's your Right. I'm hoping that thinking people will examine other platform positions & see them for what they are.
