Gun control advocates are again spending massive amounts of money on political campaigns this fall. Michael Bloomberg has promised $80 million to flip control of Congress to the Democrats. Gabby Giffords’ gun control organization is pouring a million dollars or more into each of a dozen congressional races. Everytown for Gun Safety is spending $5 million on 15 House races.

David Hogg is a creature of George Soros. None of this is spontaneous.

We are getting close to restoring constitutional law in this country, at least at the top Meanwhile , where’s the big money to defeat the commie- Nazi- leftist assault on our liberties? It does take money these days, big money.

Trump didn’t need big money to defeat Hillary’s huge money.

When it comes to politics, money is like power when trying to reach the speed of light. The faster you go, the more power it takes.

When one side has enough money to get their message out handily, it doesn’t matter how much money the other side spends if they are simply wrong. Hillary is an example.

Lots of money has been thrown at this issue before yet they have made no inroads. Good that there is this issue to get them to drain their coffers.

That was an extremely close election and we lost the popular vote Trump did a very good job but let’s not get too complacent. The extreme left is very very very very well organized and enjoys essentially unlimited $$$

And Soros spent lots of money to buy the 2010 election and the 2014 election and the 2016 election. Anybody see a pattern here?

Buy a gun this week. Buy 2. Buy American made ammo. American made products. Buy from an independent dealer. Thank him. On your way out buy another one.

I love the smell of Democrat money down a rathole in the morning.

Nazis, Commies, Banana Republics, and all other tyrant run governments confiscate privately owned weapons. Most of them are smart enough to delay execution of gun grabbing until they have complete control of the government and the military, but the Democrats are not the smartest crabs in the ocean. Every time they have tried to use this scheme to advance their power via free elections they have lost power.

I would not call 304 to 227 “extremely close”. It’s not a devastating defeat, but a very handy one. Money does not buy elections.

It is funny how their coffers are bare and they are broke after each election cycle. By the time the next one rolls around, they are always flush with cash. It is like they are playing a video game in “god” mode.

I agree with you on all but the popular vote.

IMO vote fraud, largely illegal aliens, made that difference. And it is going to get worse.

Hillary outspent Trump and look where it got her.

Exactly nowhere.

It’s not about how much money is spent in advertising, it’s about connecting with the voter base you need to support you.

I bought a Ruger Security 9 just this week.
