Point is, some supporting the 2A, will not. Once the money stops flowing, they get new ideologies to protect. They follow the money.
that's complete bullshit. again your specious argument is akin to someone who wants to ban all political speech saying he is no different than someone who wants to criminalize the creation of kiddie porn. NO one is buying your claim that your anti gun position is no more anti rights than mine. BTW what sort of infringements have I supported?
Wow, your argument is so sad, now you have to resort to some conspiracy theory about kiddie porn. That is a horrible deflection.
Your argument is worthless and that you cannot understand the analogy pretty much shows you have hit rock bottom and now you look for steam shovel. I don't see anyone supporting your claim that your anti gun sentiments are no different than my view that a state has the proper power banning the private use of weaponized anthrax
What, not another deflection to kiddie porn? And you didn't deflect to another sill deflection? Run out of deflections? You admitting to infringements is what you're calling my worthless argument? LOL, it's your position.
Are you saying that the NRA “supports” politicians by giving them money? Aren’t they already receiving a salary from the government? Any extra money they receive must be bribes mustn’t they?
The data show that, in general, a NRA endorsement can raise a candidate’s share of the vote by approximately 3% per 10,000 NRA members in the district. Thus, in a district with 20,000 NRA members, the NRA endorsement might add 6% to a candidate’s share of the vote. https://davekopel.org/2A/OthWr/Does-the-NRA-Influence-Federal-Elections.pdf A majority of gun owners (61%) are Republicans or lean to the Republican Party, but NRA members skew even more heavily to the political right than other gun owners. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...s-have-a-unique-set-of-views-and-experiences/
do you have any clue how expensive campaigns are? Your definition of bribes is foreign to anyone who actually understands election law
No, we have very nosy media who would have watched him like a hawk. He has a suss sort of history and the farmers who voted for him would be very disappointed that he could stoop to taking money from Ms Hancock.
Oz. Donations and electoral expenditure Federal The disclosure threshold, the amount over which donations must be disclosed, under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 is Consumer Price Index (CPI)-indexed and from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 is $14,500. As of 1 December 2020, donations must be deposited into a federal campaign account to be covered under the political finance laws (which are generally less prescriptive than state or territory laws). https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parlia.../rp/rp2122/Quick_Guides/ElectionFundingStates
And then red states will elect someone else. If it was about money they'd already be taking money from Bloomberg (#1) and Soros (#6). Neither the NRA or the NSSF make the top 100.
How has the NRA become so powerful that it consistently thwarts gun legislation that is supported by a majority of Americans? The Founding Fathers were wary of such special interest groups: "By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community." -James Madison
The NRA doesn't cast a single vote in Congress. They give politicians significantly less money the candidates than either Bloomberg or Soros.
1) pro gun voters, most of whom are not NRA members, tend to be better educated, and more motivated than the soccer moms, and other low information voters who actually believe gun control is crime control 2) the constitution, when interpreted properly, thwarts most of the nonsense the democrats and the victim disarmament lobby wants to push, 3) gun banners are a particularly dishonest and pernicious form of a faction since their arguments are based on falsehoods and their real agenda is destructive to our rights and safety
Yesterday, a 6-year-old shot his teacher in Virginia. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/shooting-virginia-elementary-school-wounds-1-adult-96271168 How could this happen? One way: there are too many guns in society and you are not going to get everyone to lock up every one of them.
