Looks like the in-fighting has begun between Desantis and Trump:
DeSantis super PAC puts Trump in crosshairs with ‘gun-grabber’ ad
Desantis doesnt seem to like guns much either. Maybe they should both avoid that topic.
I’d much rather them attack the pedo ComDems and talk about how they are going to gut every one of the alphabet agencies.
Meh, DeSanctimonious would have taken the advice of the NRA just like Trump. Its the NRA that we need to fix, not the next candidate.
I doubt that DeSantis had anything to do with Never Back Down PAC ad timed with Trump speaking at the NRA convention.
Pence and Hutchinson also spoke at the convention. Apparently DeSantis didn’t to go to the NRA convention, reportedly choosing a brief pre-recorded message to deliver his remarks.
Never Back Down PAC has other ads, one titled “Fight democrats, Not Republicans”, crying about Trump attacking DeSantis. Then they turn around and launch an attack ad against Trump. Whatever…
Indeed. Noticeably absent in the ad crying that Trump abandoned the NRA is any mention of NRA Chris Cox video ad advocating for red flag gun confiscation, as well as the LaPierre/Cox letter urging the Trump admin to regulate bump stocks like machine guns.
This times 1000… I have a buddy that works for the NRA. I’ve tried numerous times to discuss the issues with LaPierre with him and he’s shut me down every time. Those that are still employed by the NRA seem to have drank the Kool-Aid and it’s disheartening.
It is WHAT it IS !
I urge everyone to use their contact page. If we just sit around and bitch at ourselves on this forum, they will never change. Odds are they won’t change regardless, but it is certainly worth making your voices heard.
I told them I want to know who advised Trump on Bumpstocks and they need to quit their Bull$hit.
Both Cox and LaPierre issued a joint statement urging the Trump admin to regulate bump stocks like machine guns. The logic was that in the wake of Vegas an administrative rules change would be better than leaving it for Washington lawmakers to debate.
At the time it seemed to me a terrible idea for the administrative branch to do an unconstitutional end-run around congress inventing law, and that it would pave a path forward for more of same. On a side note, I think it was the only time in my life that I agreed with Diane Feinstein as she railed at the Trump administration they didn’t have the authority to make law. Of course she had her own gun-grabbing agenda but still…
I’ve phoned them, I’ve sent them emails through the channels I developed as a Friends of NRA chairman. The western region rep knows how I feel, the Alaska rep knows as well. Do you really feel our voice is heard when they drove out every board member that challenged the board and LaPiere?

Yikes. I hope his answer is better than yours, it’s not 2016 anymore.
I want a focused dismantling of the system being used against anyone who isn’t far left, and I don’t care who it is. I’m neither pro nor anti either of them.
This Political Ad was paid for by Joe Biden.
100% this
I don’t have any hate at all for DeSanctimonious. I just like the Tumpster’s nicknames. He’s coined some classics.
Most of the nicknames have been pretty good, and it doesn’t bother me as long as we get to substance as well. I want to know Trump has learned from his mistakes and doesn’t want to repeat them.
I didn’t know the NRA was going to cave like that either, but I’m not renewing my membership now that I do.
Had it been passed organically, could he not have vetoed it?
Edit: what the **** is the “administrative branch”?
An honest assessment of how the Executive branch actually functions?
Something about cutting off the nose to spite the face…
Trump was and is all mouth but no one can deny his pro American accomplishments in 4 short years. The man is a machine.
