(31,112 posts)I include myself.
We would put something on the line for real change and not just about guns, about treason too.
But we are too comfortable, so far.
So far it is just brown people who werent born here having their lives destroyed for the most part, when it is ours I guess then we will do something

(3,194 posts)Basically it doesn't matter what I think, or feelings I have for the dead kids.
I'm anti-gun, but this is the U.S., and my opinion is irrelevant, and nobody cares. It's just part of this so-called GREAT country.

(9,287 posts)Unprecedented Trump Support
The National Rifle Association spent tens of millions of dollars backing Trump's presidential bid in 2016. The NRA endorsed Trump in May 2016. And the NRA disclosed it spent at least $30 million on Trump's behalf and attacking Hillary Clinton. That level of support is unprecedented more than twice what the NRA disclosed it spent on Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential run.
Torshin helped establish a Russian gun group called Right to Bear Arms, whose president calls Torshin "a great gun lover." Torshin is also a life member of the NRA and forged ties to its leadership after attending the NRA's national convention in 2013. McClatchy reports that, in 2015, Toshin hosted "a high-level NRA delegation" during a week-long Moscow trip "that included meetings with influential Russian government and business figures." An attendee describes a debauched week: "They were killing us with vodka and the best Russian food," he told McClatchy. "The trip exceeded my expectations by logarithmic levels."
