NRA influence: Another lying Democrat lie

Guest Post by Rich Logis

The horrific school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Fla., occurred 20 minutes from my home.  As a father and husband, I think about my own child, as well as the unimaginable, lifelong grief the victims’ parents must live with.

Predictably, social media haters of legal firearm ownership and the Second Amendment began their piñata-battering of the National Rifle Association like four-year-olds at a birthday party.

Full disclosure: Yes, I am a member of the NRA, and no, I was not paid to defend the NRA here.

It’s psychiatrically unnerving just how many bogeymen Democrats are after, from imaginary white supremacists in every home to skeptics of faux climate change science to a new-old boogeyman: guns and gun-owners.

I take no solace in saying this: a year ago, as I was writing my upcoming book, 10 Warning Signs Your Child is Becoming a Democrat, I predicted to my wife and others that it was a guarantee that acts of violence perpetrated by youths barely old enough to legally drive would occur.  I didn’t know in what form the atrocities would occur, but I knew they would.  Why?  Because we cannot outrun the tsunami of kids screwed up not by the NRA, but by a culture of Democrat social engineering lunacy that considers human life disposable.

Democrat lies about the NRA

Democrats pretend the NRA is the only organization that lobbies politicians.  In candidate and party contributions, independent expenditures, and lobbying, the NRA has spent $203 million since 1998, via PolitiFact.  Remember, this is total spending for everything: elections at all levels of government and attempts to influence lawmakers and gun rights advocacy groups.  Since 1998, the NRA doesn’t come close to sniffing the highest-spending, crisp Benjamin Franklin-contributing lobbyists (please note that the Podesta Group, headed by John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, is in the top ten).

The $203 million is a pittance compared to what other organizations in unrelated industries spent in 2016 alone.

How about the top ten individual Democrat donors in 2016, for federal races?  They spent $317 million.  This figure isn’t for all spending, but just for candidates.

So, as usual, Democrats are employing one of two propaganda methods when it comes to the NRA: either they’re lying by withholding the true breadth of influence the NRA has (this is the most likely scenario with the lying liar Democrat politicians) or they’re carrying on happily in their fact-free world, where unicorns roam the streets under cotton candy clouds and would-be criminals experience epiphanies of moral clarity and non-violence after reviewing all state and federal gun laws.

The NRA’s oh, so controversial law-and-order philosophy is that existing laws be enforced more aggressively.  I will point out that the NRA has supported measures to prevent guns from getting into the hands of those who shouldn’t have them.  Democrats’ gun control is a lot like their wealth redistribution belief: all for me, none for thee.  If Democrats want to enact gun control and wealth redistribution, I have an idea: they fund, for all of us, 24-7 armed bodyguards (just like what they have); state-of-the-art security systems (just like what they have); and big, beautiful tall walls to surround our homes (just like what they have).  With perks like these, I could be convinced to part ways with my firearms!  (Just kidding.)

NRA has very little influence

As of this writing, 17 students are dead and hundreds traumatized by everything they were forced to witness.  Democrats have moved the goalposts on the definition of a “mass shooting,” of course, and they’ve perfected the art of being lying liars.  Does the NRA have influence?  Undoubtedly – but in the grand scheme of things, the money spent by the organization isn’t even a blip on the multi-gazillion-dollar business of campaign finance.

There’s lots of blame to go around as to why premeditated murders are more regularly being committed by young adults, and the NRA is low-hanging fruit for all the know-nothing useful-idiot dupe dopes.  (In all candor, I don’t think the NRA is consistently effective in attacking the Democrats and the DMIC and spends more effort on defense than on offense.)

You want to talk about influence?  My pick for most at fault is the terrifying and dangerous Democrat indoctrination of our youth, pervasive throughout virtually every industry in America – from media to technology to anti-Second Amendment groups, most notably Everytown for Gun Safety, led by Michael Bloomberg, New York’s former mayor.

If the Democrats and the DMIC who poison our children’s minds and lie with impunity don’t keep you up at night, what will?

We protect money with people with guns…
We protect banks with people with guns…
We protect politicians and celebrities with people with guns…
We protect government facilities and other high importance facilities with people with guns…
We protect schools and our children with “gun free zones” and signs…
What’s wrong with this picture??

We don’t know what a school full of people with guns would be like, but we damn sure know what a school with only one person with a gun can be like.

There’s no lie here. Houston, we have a problem. Problem with the NRA, and any other lobbying group, is common sense never enters into it. They fight everything. I’m not a slippery slope kind of guy. The real issue I see in this case, like the Adam Lanza case, is that you had parents who didn’t see a problem with their little psychopath collecting guns and weapons. I think in times like this, the parents justify it, because actually deep down inside they’re afraid of their own child, or in this case the child they took in. But it seems like everybody else knew he was a nut, and on the verge of mass homicide. And yes, there are reasons to not want to put mental illness restrictions on gun ownership. But there are also good reasons to do it. And that’s the conversation we should be having. Not a black or white NRA/libtard discussion. Because at the end of the day, look at the damage a mentally ill person with a gun can cause.

WAT!!!! Adam Lanza did not collect guns! His mother had guns and he murdered her to get them before murdering the children at Sandyhook… Holy crap if we all can’t get the facts straight how in heck can we argue the correct position!

More gun laws only punish the law abiding citizen. Enforce what laws we have now and prevent crazy people from legal purchasing them! Everything Lanza did or Cruz did was against the law. Howed the aw do stopping them? Law are to punish behavior not stop crime!!!!!

Get your facts straight ,Star. Adam lanza did not collect guns he killed his mother to get access to them.

starfcker

I have my facts straight. Adam Lanza had two connecting bedrooms in his house. Blacked out the windows in both rooms had his computer equipment spread out over both rooms and he controlled the gun safe in one of those two rooms. His mother lived on the other end of the house

Having your “facts straight” would be to recognize that Sandy Hoax never occurred.

starfcker

So what happened to Adam Lanza’s mom? How about Noah Pozner? Charlotte Bacon? Jack Pinto? Did they get eaten by wild animals? Cause no one’s heard from them or a bunch of other people since that day. If you know, it would be great for you to share

Take a look at this one because it too will soon disappear, like all the other excellent videos. The video have been pulled because of (cough cough) bullying. Adam Lanza never existed. He was a total fabrication. There were many videos (at one time) discussing this and dissections of him showing he was a composite photoshop. the lines on his neck were exactly vertical, the waves in his hair were exactly the same, etc. His mother was a concoction. The house used by “him and his mother” was a house next door to the one the authorities claimed was his. Hundreds of homes had a christmas present in the Sandy Hook area. They were paid off on Christmas day (you get a free house, you get a free house and you get a free house-in my best Ophra voice) and you can still see that at the County tax assessors office https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wplo-wWTCw Watch David Wheeler below. The “grieving father” of a lost son, who happened to be a phony SWAT officer at the very school his son was killed (cough cough).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUtLA3CZVgA Also, at 14:50 of this video see the phony Adam Lanza

He is one example of the pulled videos

There is a guy (Wolfgang Halbig- who is a school safety expert) who is still in court fighting to see the non-existent death certificates. Go to You Tube and punch in Sandy Hook. There is still enough there that anyone with half a brain can see it was TOTAL BS. There, is that enough for you?

The Left berates Trump for (in the initial days of his presidency) signing a bill that supposedly makes it easier for the mentally ill to buy a gun. I don’t know the details of that, but it seems to me that if going to a doctor can put you on a government list of “prohibited people”, a lot of people might avoid seeing a doctor for mental health problems. Just what we want – more people with untreated mental problems.

In the Soviet Union, the Bolsheviks routinely had people they didn’t like declared to be insane, and institutionalized them (usually to death). This is what the Democratsheviks want to do here, to us – though we would probably be forcibly drugged to death, rather than institutionalized to death.

And those are the good reasons I talk about for not having restrictions having to do with mental illness. But then again, common sense would tell you, that having mentally ill people with guns ain’t a great outcome either. I’m pro-gun, but I’m not pro-NRA, even though I think they do some valuable work. I don’t like extremists of any stripe. Having the mentally ill live amongst us without restrictions in a society design for the safety of good common sense people hasn’t worked out so well, another failure of the liberal mindset. All I’m saying is, I’m not afraid to have a conversation about the role of guns in society. The NRA can kiss my ass. A good clear look at what we can do to put an end to this kind of nonsense is not a bad thing. What’s that old saying, a right-wing NRA nut is just a parent whose kids haven’t been in a school that got shot up.

Star – you could also say that a gun control advocate is just someone whose country hasn’t yet been taken over by a dictator like ALL OF EUROPE had been within the last 80 years.

starfcker

Iska, I’m not advocating for gun control. Not at all. But this stuff is becoming too common. There are always solutions. What are they? I don’t know. But having some assholes at the NRA jumping in front braying about this or that before you get down to the conversation is stupid. Look at the issues they’re currently working on. Losers all. Bump stocks, silencers, and mandatory Federal concealed carry laws. With shit like that they won’t get my money

Iska Waran

The problem with “common sense” gun control is that we have to trust government not to abuse it. I just can’t see doing that. “Universal background checks” effectively means a gun owner database. There’s zero chance that the FBI deletes the record of a NICS background check. Requiring gun owners to be licensed can lead to them being “doxxed” by the media – as happened at least twice after Sandy Hook. As far as being banned due to mental illness, 3/4 of us here would be banned for thinking bad thoughts. Registration is a prelude to confiscation, and an unarmed population is at risk of being dominated by a dictatorship. Mandating concealed carry across state lines is aimed at restoring the right to keep and bear arms to citizens of states like California where it’s been infringed.

From what I’ve seen, the “assholes jumping in front braying about this or that before you get down to the conversation” are mostly the same old Democrats, again screaming for banning assault rifles blah blah blah. They are on this bandwagon before the fucking blood is dried.
That is taking our guns, period.
That is against the 2nd Amendment of our tattered constitution.

i’m not pro nra either star but for a different reason–they compromise too damn much-

Yep. Gun Owners of America is the real advocate group for 2nd Amendment rights. While the NRA wets their pants over every mass shooting, GOA calmly points out that the victims were purposely and needlessly undefended .

97% of mass shootings happen in Gun-Free zones because the perps are cowards at heart.

starfcker

I will check them out Vodka, thanks

I’d like to know how many lives are SAVED by the populace potentially being armed.

In this societal disintegration, sheer animosity amongst differing factions, illicit drug dependence with it’s various motivations for crime, etc. I would imagine the good side of gun ownership far outweighs the bad.

If that punk had even the slightest notion that he would meet the business end of another gun he would never have had the nads to do what he did. Period. New sentence.

Per Business Pundit, the top ten industries spending money to lobby DC are:
•tech •mining •defense •big ag •big oil •financial •big pharma •aarp •pro-israel •nra•

BTW, regarding the nasty NRA, my thoughts are congruent with those of zerogov.com’s Bill Buppert.

Progressives are good at what they do. They love it when we argue among ourselves. They smile when we discuss weather it is Gun control,mental health,or the NRA that is at fault. Truth be told…… Americans have short memories. Anyone that has been around for awhile does not remember such things 40-50 years ago.At least not in the frequency they happen now. The problem’s today are a direct result of Liberal/Progressive policies,and the media spreading their lies. Remember we all know liberals lie. Without getting in to the many things they have done to America. I wish that Americans could just stop take a minute and think about their policies and what they have done to the people in this country. Yes it will be hard to admit that most have been fooled,but the truth must come out.

Full disclosure – I am most definitely NOT an NRA member and would never give money to an organization that continues to sell out gun freedom and gives monetary support and endorsements to gun-hating candidates that are republicans when gun-rights-supporting candidates from the Libertarian and Constitution parties are on the same ballot. I actually believe that people are sovereign over everything, and MUST be allowed the right to defend themselves against others, INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT….and ONLY guns of ALL kinds, can do that.

But I also oppose these BS legislative efforts to disarm me and my fellow American citizens.

But it is MUCH easier to go after an organization that is faceless, nameless, and generally hated on the left, than bother to mention just how many millions of INDEPENDENT-THINKING individuals, both NRA members and NOT, oppose their constant efforts to lay the foundation for unhindered government tyranny in the future (not that much hinders it today).

If he made a threat like that against the President, the Secret Service would be all over him. Should be the same with the FBI. If someone makes a public threat, they need to be interviewed, detain if appropriate and evaluated psychologically. If they don’t pass, their guns need to be confiscated and put in to the FBI gun check database. FBI screwed this up big time, but that is what has become of the FBI.

The other major problem is “Gun Free Zones”, they are only gun free from the good guys. There should be absolutely no gun free zones. I am married to a teacher for nearly 50 years during which she worked at a local high school. Teachers as a whole are not gun carrying people but if just 10% were and were qualified schools wouldn’t be such easy targets.

Got my first carry permit when I was 20 due to a high cash/high risk job. Been carrying for 45 years. Never fired it and only drew it once to stop a thief until the Sheriff showed up. Every capable and qualified American should carry a gun. Crime would go way down after a few months of killing idiot bad guys.
