Los Angeles Times Article on Gun Control and Hit Piece on the NRA

[jrw1911]

The LA times is just a liberal rag. Too bad Los Angeles doesn't have one real newspaper.

No way it is the NRA. Everyone knows all they do is take your money, send you junk mail, and screw over Commiefornia gun owners

Or could it be that Americans can finally see that all these dumb azzed laws do nothing to keep bad people from doing bad things??

LOL. That is a great article. They basically are trying to convince liberal politicians to stand up to the NRA and that their bark is bigger than their bite. LOL. Step up to the plate and test it out. Let's see what happens.

If anyone has ever doubted the effectiveness of the NRA, this is proof they have what it takes. The media and anti-gunners are in an uproar over Colorado, but no legislators want to step up and do anything about it because they are scared of us. The NRA is working, but they are only as strong as we make them. We need to start pushing everyone to join.

Thank you. Join up and be counted. I have been buying NRA memberships as gifts all year. I got at least half a dozen so far. I think you get a big return on a measly 25 buck investment.

But she concedes that it faces long odds. "There's been a group of us working on this for many, many years, but we can't seem to get it brought up by leadership," the eight-term Democrat said. "I think they're afraid of the influence of the NRA."
...

Perhaps she would be useful in proposing a term-limit bill instead of failing with the same type of bill "for many, many years."

I thought it was a good article. Pointing out:

1) The NRA doesn't contribute big $$ to non-federal elections,
2) They can "mobilize" 4M+ Americans,
3) Nearly 1/3 of their contributions go to DEMs.

Good stuff...
