[O]ne would think supporting policies that let Americans carry any type of gun, anywhere, at anytime would be a losing proposition for any politician, much less one who wants to be president.
And yet as I listened to Trump — and the parade of equally craven Oval Office hopefuls who preceded him onstage — I began to realize that he just might be right in his political calculation. Because, far from losing, the NRA seems to be winning. In fact, it might already have won, polls be damned.
Why would I believe such a thing?
It’s not because of the nonsense I heard longtime NRA Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre spout last week, including that the Founding Fathers created the 2nd Amendment so that, from “the day you’re born,” Americans have the “God-given right” to carry a gun for self-defense that cannot be infringed upon.
Nor is it because, as former Vice President Mike Pence told the NRA faithful, “freedom is under attack,” and Americans are determined to not let the government take their guns. I’ll spare you the stories of people I know who think this so fervently that they’ve buried boxes of semiautomatic rifles and ammunition in their backyards.

However, anyone who lets this person know they have guns and ammo buried in their back yard is foolish.
I’m not in a doom loop buying guns. That’s ridiculous. I’m pretty sure I have all the guns I need.
Yipppeee!! I’m stuck in a gun loop and I don’t want out.
No one’s forcing you to buy guns, Erika
Awww….poor Grace, take a Midol, it might help.
America is stuck in a doom loop of Godless violent, unrepentant criminals preying on innocents abetted by Soros communist DAs failing to charge them.
I just wonder what the Leftist idiots thought would come to of letting violent criminals back out on the streets after they had committed violent crimes and having been caught
Did they think that urban dwellers would just shrug their shoulders and calmly weight for the violent killers to find them and bring their lives to a violent end.
Most US Citizens are rational creatures. They will acquire the best means of defending their lives that they can afford.
Usually a firearm.
As long as the far-left turd rollers are going to continue to orchestrate these school shootings for their political campaigns and turn each tribe in the U.S. against the other tribes, Americans are going to need guns. The number of school shootings have skyrocketed since the pedophile and his ho rose to power. It’s a disgrace.
Left the NRA when they silently let trump ban bumpstocks.. Gun Owners of America is much better. The NRA went progressive with trump.
There are far more people who own guns and are not NRA members. The left always needs a demon and the NRA is their demon when it comes to guns.
It scares RATs to think that people don’t care about being in a group and just go out and get what they want because it is a personal preference and their Constitutional right to own guns.
“...supporting policies that let Americans carry any type of gun, anywhere, at anytime...”
The noted ‘Constitutional scholar’, Barack Obama bemoaned this fact and saw it as a flaw.
The author above beat around the bush for a whole article regarding the reason that more people are buying guns, and still came up with the wrong conclusion.
It’s very simple:
Democrats are the best salespeople when it comes to gun ownership. The crime waves in many areas of the country, mostly controlled by the blue-democrats, are causing people to go out and have a weapon with which to defend themselves.
The author above should ‘gain a function’ for his brain and come up with the real reason for more guns being sold. But, I’ve given him the answer, so, perhaps he could come up with a real reason for the border crisis.
Uh, pretty sure Grace is reporting on fidiot err-EEK-uh and her hopolophobia.(sp)
My thought is the first three rounds are the most important. One for the guy beating on your door, the next for the guy that was trying to follow him, the next for the azzhole backing out of your driveway. If you survive that, you can play with the stuff you stock pile. Watch for drones.
I call it the three bullet rule.
The murders in this United States are confined to one highly visible and identifiable demographic. This demographic does not obey the law. They don't even know what a gun law is. They don't know the law against murder.
It can be argued that the left is in a perversion loop. That is the real doom loop.
As the government and its moron supporters reduce law enforcement in America and turn the criminals loose from the prisons, the need for a “dump loop” of gun buying becomes more essential. Anyone who doesn’t own a gun right now is a total idiot.
The NRA has kept the USA from becoming Venezuela.
All you need? Maybe. All you want? Maybe not.
