It was within a few thousand votes in at least theee or four states that would have swung it the other way. The D’s just didn’t stuff quite enough ballot boxes is all- but unless the R’s get their act in gear, you can bet those ballot boxes will be pre- stuffed , or at least stuffed much better for the next election

Kavanaugh’s stance on gun control is crystal clear so they can spend all that money for nothing because the decisions of SCOTUS will flush it all down the drain.

Spend the money and literally watch it turn to $hit...

There are solid reasons the left has been packing the benches with lefty activist judges for 50 years. Blocking voter ID is one.

The real crime is the Republican rubber stamping of these black robed oligarchs over and over.

The growing Islamist population in this country is smiling, knowing that when the boomers die off, the succeeding generations will be easy pickins, because so few of them will be pro 2nd amendment and hardly any will be gun owners. At that point, they will be sheep going to their slaughter at the hands of a Sharia law government.

The GOP-e often is just a damned rubber stamp. Less useful then teats on a boar

I see a repeat of what happened in 2016. All of the fake polls were inflated, but now they’re suddenly going down the closer to the election because the truth can’t be hidden anymore. The confirmation hijinks hurt them worse than even the WalkAway movement and other things. Money means nothing here.

I hope you’re right. Except that money is still very important. “Money is the mother’s milk of politics” (Jesse unruh, who knew it well)

It is just an inexpensive, basic, no frills 9 mm auto.

It is heavy enough to control the recoil and muzzle rise but not so heavy that so my 5-foot-4-inch 100-pound wife has a problem to shoot it.

It was bought to do target shooting. Guam is a really safe place and there is no real reason to carry a concealed weapon here even though we have the permits. Besides, how do you conceal a weapon while wearing beach clothes?

Thanks for that!
Sounds like Heaven in Guam,
I’ll be stuck in California or Arizona.

You may be able to conceal it
in a Big pair of Flip-Flops!

The antiConstitutionalist left is of very low calibre.

Watched the 10/05/2018 episode of "Firing Line" on PBS. Host Margaret Hoover had NRA prez Oliver North as her guest. He confirmed the earlier news stories that the NRA is fighting for its financial existence against lawsuits brought by NY gov. Andrew Cuomo. My takeaway from this episode was that the NRA will not be active in this mid-term election - a very bad sign.

I have received numerous phone calls and flyers from the NRA regarding the 2018 elections. They will be active. I gave them $250 and will probably give more. I trust them more than the NRC.

Gabby Gifford and her group are just plain liars and should be investigated by the Federal Elections Commission.

She lost her mind when she was shot by a nut. Wonder if she even cared about Rep. Steve Scalise and the other people shot by a leftwing nut/Democrat?

Given the fact that she and her husband are both leftist loons, I serious doubt that she cares.

There is an old saying that applies when building a fast car. “Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?”
