Terrifies you, doesn't it?[b] These kids are far more powerful than the NRA's money.[/b] No wonder the right is losing its collective shit.

We're coming for you in November. You're done.

Republican here who favors gun control.

I wish these kids were more powerful on this issue, but they're not. However, it's not because of the NRA's money; it's their loyal membership base. You could have the NRA spend not one dollar on campaign donations, and they would be just about as powerful with consistent Facebook and social media messaging. They simply have a very devoted base that is willing to hold their elected leaders accountable to this one particular issue. [/quote]

I think there base is eroding. [/quote]

On this issue alone, I wish it were, but I don't think so. I end up talking to so many young people who have become big time gun enthusiasts and are more passionate about it than the old folks who just wanted to be able to hunt and maybe keep a pistol at home ever were.

Keep in mind how much the goal posts keep moving on this one. In the 80s and 90s, people were arguing about handguns and the Brady Bill. Now, nobody's even talking about handguns. They're a given. No, we're trying to just think about limiting access to very powerful, very rapid-firing rifles -- machine guns, for all intents and purposes. (And yes, I know that technically machine guns produced after 1986 are illegal, but bump stocks can go a long way to closing the gap.)[/quote]
