I agree. All men should cut off their d1ck$ to prevent a future possible raping!!


Nope but people who want to buy deadly weapons should undergo background checks so we don’t keep burying classrooms, churches and synagogues of dead people.


Don't know how a background check is going to stop any of this. I see noth in the second amendment about background checks to buy "deadly weapons". Do you?

Finally. And it paid off. Talking about gun control is what got a lot of them elected. It is no longer the third rail.

Change is coming. Let's hope universal background checks and limits on magazine sizes come soon.

Amid a numbing succession of mass shootings, gun control groups outspent the National Rifle Association in the midterm election cycle, federal filings and additional reporting indicate, upending the usual order in the partisan battle over gun use.

Two groups that are focused on gun control, Giffords and Everytown for Gun Safety, spent at least $37 million at the state and federal level in the midterms, compared with at least $20 million by the N.R.A. The figures are incomplete, because some of the spending done by such groups is not required to be disclosed, but all sides agreed that the N.R.A. was outspent, stemming a trend of financial dominance for the N.R.A. going back years.

Both the N.R.A. and Everytown said about 80 percent of the candidates they endorsed won. Elections, of course, are won at the margins — outside of the 80 percent. And it was swing districts that helped tilt the House back to the Democrats, often aided by gun-control groups.

Giffords, a group co-founded by the former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded in a 2011 assassination attempt, concentrated its resources in a few races. The group focused on four incumbent House members who have received A ratings from the N.R.A. — John Culberson, in the Houston area; Mike Coffman in Colorado; Barbara Comstock in Northern Virginia and Jason Lewis in Minnesota.

Giffords poured nearly $5 million combined into those contests, helping to make guns a front burner issue in the races. All four incumbents lost.
