But at least do your jobs and vote. I think the goal is to block any legislation that the current administration is pushing. I might be wrong. That's certainly a big part of it. |

All they are doing is protecting their own asses so come election time they can get re-elected. I think it's going to backfire on them this time. Even those who are usually hard to starboard are disgusted. (notice the boating content?) |

Their concealed carry book would probably provide the answers to those 'special circumstances' you may encounter! Salmonbait Anyone who joins the NRA right now is a friggin' idiot.

I'd bet more than 90% would like background checks if we could get the gang-bangers to comply. |
