re: #150 A Mom Anon

Is it possible that the only people against background checks to purchase firearms know they couldn’t pass those background checks? When surveys show anywhere from 70-90 percent of the country supports these checks, what the hell is the problem?

I’ll also be totally fascinated to see how many right wingers suddenly are no longer nearly as paranoid after the black family in the White House moves on and a new President moves in that isn’t so Communist/Marxist/Kenyan. Yes, that shall be an interesting thing to observe….

That, and the NRA promising to “punish” anyone who votes for any of the bills currently being discussed and passed.

I do wonder if GOP politicians (and Democrats too) will ever realize that allowing themselves to be so simply blackmailed on issue after issue by specialty interest groups with pocket books is:
1. Showing a lack of guts
2. Showing a lack of principles
3. Present the politician (and by association most politicians) as a commodity to be openly bought or intimidated by threat of primary opposition
4. A lousy way to run a country
5. The politician will ultimately end up with the dilemma of having two deep-pocketed interest groups on opposite sides of an issue

Though I expect they tell themselves in bed at night that they are on the side of Right, bravely resisting those who will destroy America, and will be retired and gone with a nice bank account when things collapse.
