The Gun Control Debate Seems Quiet, But The NRA Is Facing A String Of Defeats In The States

The National Rifle Association has suffered a string of surprising defeats this year on the state level, where gun control activists are finding success even as Congress avoids doing anything significant to address gun violence.

There has been a palpable spike in support for gun control across the country since February’s Parkland, Florida, school shooting. This can be seen through hundreds of thousands of people attending a gun control rally in Washington, DC, several big-name brands breaking with the NRA, and just simple polling.

At the federal level, this momentum has not translated into action. Congress has declined to pass any gun measures since Parkland beyond providing funding to improve criminal record databases for background checks. President Donald Trump called on lawmakers to stand up to the NRA and pass several reforms. But none ended up happening and the White House’s sole action has been to move to ban bump stocks, accessories that can increase a gun’s firing speed.

But at the state level, it is a different story.

The NRA gave Florida Gov. Rick Scott an A+ rating and has actively campaigned for him. But three weeks after the Parkland shooting, Scott defied the NRA by signing into law a suite of gun control measures, including raising the legal age to purchase firearms from 18 to 21, introducing wait times on gun purchases, and giving police new powers to seize firearms before a crime is committed in what’s known as a “red flag law.”

I didn't know the NRA was running for office in multiple States at the same time.
 
PS - Buzzfeed is such a great source of news pretty much along the lines of Breitbart.

A subset of the facts. This is how fake news sells bias confirmation to its consumers, the lie of omission.
Breitbart would write the same story using facts that show NRA wins and you would say something along the lines of consider the source, it's right-wing propaganda.

please educate us on the omission of lies from the linked article.
 
Not that interested. I'm just holding you to your standard.
If I wanted to debate the NRA, I'd start a thread.

You're nuts. The Republicans do not "control" the media. The most destructive force in America today is the Democrat Party and its delusional adherents such as yourself who don't understand their totalitarian agenda..
 
The Republicans control BuzzFeed? CNN? NYTimes? WaPo?
Are you delusional? The don't even control FOX or Breitbart anymore.
Maybe NROnline... :eek:
 
Maybe people (and pols) notice that NRA acts as Putin's puppet and are offended. Maybe.

I didn't figure you for being illiterate too, but I suppose I should have considering the "progressive" track record for reading skills.

It means your not getting rid of guns and "progressives" are totalitarian pricks, is that simple enough for you?

Or do you need a wet nurse to feed it to you in baby talk??:confused:
 
Interesting thing happening on CNN (Crazy Network News) lately. Soledad O'brien
has launched a newscast show that seems completely unbiased. Well worth watching.

Of course, these kids that call themselves liberals these days will try to shut it down. Oh, bother.

Lol. What EXACTLY does the NRA do that advances Putin's interests? Specifically, not generally.
