Better than the idiot who committed a felony on video by cutting the barrel on his AR, thus making it a SBR. It's still functional
Got some really dumb folks out there.

Not even Marco Rubio deserved what they did to him last night. Amazing how Rubio and Loesch are murderers for simply disagreeing with the politics of a total gun ban. This also means that's what they think about gun owners in general. We are murderers for believing in the 2nd amendment. It's hard for them not to visualize us mowing down their classmates. Unless, of course, we now agree with their politics.

Couple of points...
1. CNN is gone. You can't come back from that townhall. They have been functioning as a liberal advocacy group they are so far in the tank for gun grabbers.
2. I've lost a ton of respect for Jake Tapper. I think he was terrified to say anything that would have been deemed as less than 100% supportive of the Parkland kids. No call for civility or avoiding smears. This is why this entire exercise of letting these children take over the debate is so dangerous. It's Mothers Against Drunk Driving asking why you let their child die.
3. Now it's verifiable that they are not discussing or debating "sensible" gun control in good faith. Nothing less than banning all semi-automatic weapons will be accepted (almost all guns). If you oppose them you are a murderer. Or they question your skills as a mother. The Broward Sheriff showed his true colors last night. I'm not a fan of Dana Loesch, but it's one thing when kids are the ones making the vile, emotionally charged arguments. It's a totally different thing when it's an adult that should know better.
I mentioned this yesterday, but I truly feel like you cannot negotiate with people acting this way. Their only goal is to attack you and your politics while hiding behind their victim status. Sure, Rubio and Loesch chose this life and have been given a lot of power and money in return, but the smears they were hit with last night were totally disgusting. As the blog I posted mentions, these were not off-the-cuff comments in the heat of a raw, emotional tirade. These were planned remarks.
I believe these tactics will backfire. This kind of incendiary rhetoric and threats against our constitutional rights will not play well to the silent majority. It has caused me to: 1. Start defending and backing little Marco again. 2. Get my donation ready to re-join the NRA (had a one year membership years ago for free because of a firearm I purchased). 3. Going from unwilling to back a single GOP candidate in the next several elections to being unwilling to vote for anyone that isn't 100% pro-gun and 100% anti-abortion.
4. I'm putting this down here separately, as it will shock people. If Trump backs our 2nd amendment rights, and refuses any gun control, (because the other side isn't acting in good faith) then he will not only have my general election vote in 2020, but I'll become a supporter. I'll still dislike and mistrust him, and I won't overlook his immorality or flaws, but I'll be a lot more open to him. I still hope he gets successfully primaries by a solid Conservative Republican, but I'll no longer sit 2020 out if he's the nominee. A lot of people angry at the GOP and Trump are coming to the same conclusion as I am. The Democrats may end up blowing a +20 generic ballot lead because they decided to let this kind of rhetoric be the face of their efforts for "sensible" gun control. May end up being a spectacular own goal.

The NRA president is going completely wacko with this comment... as someone who tries to be a disciple of Jesus, this is more than wacko, this is purely blasphemous.I would consider the right to own a gun a liberty. And I would consider my creator God.
The NRA is going over the edge with this...
I would hope a teenage kid doesn’t represent the tolerant left any more than trump represents the family values right.

Then we are screwed.Well...look at the research and polling. Trump does represent a lot of "evangelicals" that abandoned all pretense of what family values actually mean. And, yeah, this kid and his Dad absolutely represent the SJW left these days. Not classical leftists who respect their opponent and debate ideas. "There is no middle ground" remember?
Yes I have heard that take on it before, but I don't think gun ownership is a right granted by God, I don't see anything in scripture about it. I think it is a privilege granted by our society and government. Gun ownership, car ownership, boat ownership, etc are privileges we have because of the freedoms granted us in our country, but each comes with guidelines, restrictions, requirements that must be met before anyone can own and operate such. As I see it, none are a God given birthright.This is a very basic summary of what the Founding Fathers said. Rights are bestowed by the Creator and not by man. I'm confused at how you haven't heard this before. And, yes, the NRA is trash but what's new?
Then you should have an issue with the founding fathers as Wayne LaPierre only paraphrased their words. Your anger is misdirected.Yes I have heard that take on it before, but I don't think gun ownership is a right granted by God, I don't see anything in scripture about it.

No.... I think LaPierre has made a poor extrapolation from the intent of the Founding Fathers and ran his line through God to give credibility to a certain element of his base because he knew they would eat it up. The Founding Fathers, although very wise men, were not infallible themselves as some who claim to be patriots want to believe, but God is.Then you should have an issue with the founding fathers as Wayne LaPierre only paraphrased their words.
