Discussion: Trump Tosses Red Meat To NRA Crowd

The shear irony is previous presidents who favored sane firearms laws were more apt at handling and respecting firearms than Trump or his family ever would be.

Throwing red meat to the haters while taunting the Parkland School students.

When do these kids get a break? Trump World is so more than just toxic.

So let him loose amongst the faithful to glad hand, pat their backs, and then lift their wallets while the photos are being taken.
He’s got a legal defense fund to fill up dontcha know.

ā€œWhich Donald Trump is going to show up?ā€ she asked. ā€œWill it be the one who sympathized with the Parkland students he brought to the White House, the one who met with members of the Senate … or the one who had burgersā€ with NRA head Wayne LaPierre.

I don’t get the premise of this question. There’s only one Chiselin’ Trump (i.e., the one who says exactly what his current audience wants to hear) and that’s the Chiselin’ Trump who will show up.

They have been the red meat. When Congress refused to act after Sandy Hook, it was on. When our leaders were willing to say almost nothing after 5 and 6 year olds are gunned down at school, in their classrooms, you know the people who sat silently or offered thoughts and prayers while saying it was too soon, have truly lost their souls.

The only time the GOP talks about gun violence is to ridicule Chicago. They don’t offer solutions (it’s the culture you know), just platitudes.

Lotta nitrosamines in that red meat. No doubt contributing to the malignant cancer of gun idolatry.

The NRA membership represents 1.4% of the American people. (4.5 million out of 326.8 million)

In other words - we are the 98.6%!

[I’ve become sick and tired of hearing members of the NRA bragging about their huge membership- so I did a bit of number crunching to see how significant their numbers really are…]

Well there you go students. The NRA dished out $ 30 million to get this golf duffer elected. The same NRA spent much more electing Republicans who have made very sure that nothing, as in zero, will be done to protect you from assault weapons as long as they are in office. I refer you to the taunts they circulate among themselves: #watchtheleftmeltdownā€. So in spite of the nice words, thoughts and prayers, you are not going to get any real relief from being soft targets for gun nuts. You can however register to vote and then vote out those who get straight A’s on their NRA report card. You are a new cohort of voters, and there are many of you. Your skills with electronic media are just amazing to me. Use them. Organize. Stop the madness.
