Quote:In the days and weeks following the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the National Rifle Association saw a significant spike in donations.
In fact, reports from the Federal Election Commission show donations to the NRA's Political Victory Fund tripled from January to February.
In January, the NRA collected almost $248,000 in individual contributions. In February, they collected more than $779,000.
Quote:However, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political spending, tracked itemized contributions (donations of $200 or more by an individual) in the days before and after the shooting. According to their data, in the two weeks after the shooting, itemized contributions to the NRA doubled from the previous two weeks.
They also found the number of people contributing in the seven days after the shooting increased almost 500% from the week before.

It's actually a knee jerk reaction by people who are scarred that maybe, just maybe, this time the majority will finally get fed up and start introducing common sense restrictions.
The NRA has brain washed you into believing any change is the beginning of the end. That's the real nonsense and some of you bought it hook line and sinker.

When I see one from the hoplophobes I'll let you know. Thus far they've just rehashed all the asinine ideas they've used every other time.

Alternately, we could try actually implementing the laws already on the books.

Yup every shooting that happens some leftist decides to stand on the graves of people and scream about everything except the person who did it and why.
Then people who respect the constitution realize they need to be vigilant and the donate to an organization that promotes the protection of the Bill of Rights.

When the majority of people can articulate what "an assault rifle is", when they can say what % of gun deaths are due to "assault rifles", or when they show any idea at all about what guns are and how they work...
THEN.... MAYBE.... I'll care what they have to say.

No, the left being honest about wanting to repeal the second amendment is why we believe that if we give an inch, someone will try to take a mile.
Most gun grabbers, if they are honest, want hand guns gone just as bad as "military style" weapons.

Like the local police and FBI actually doing their job.

I think the brainwashing has been done on those who think they could possibly ever do away with the 2A.

There are over 100 million gun owners and only 5 million (well, there WERE only 5 million) NRA members. Just like pro-Trump arguments aren't "Russian", every pro-gun argument isn't "the NRA".
Also, if it's "common sense gun reform" you're looking for, I'd refer you to 2A.
