The Collapsing Gun Lobby
WASHINGTON -- Sometimes, dramatic shifts in American politics go unnoticed. They are buried under other news or dismissed because they represent such a sharp break from long-standing assumptions and expectations.

So please open your mind to this: Taken together, the events of 2016 and the results of the 2018 election will be remembered as the beginning of the end of the gun lobby's power.

Wishful thinking from a left cost anti.

(I hope)
I will never apologize for being an American.

Just search out other E.J. Dionne essays to see how seriously to take his arguments.

So true. I mean the support for Dicks anti gun policy has been so overwhelming. I bet they buy up bass. Pro.

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus enters 2019 with more volunteers, more members, and more financial resources than we've ever had previously.

Yeah, I keep coming across blogs and editorials saying that America is fed up and ready to rise in a groundswell against firearms. I'll believe it when I see it.

In all seriousness you folks in Minnesota are lucky to have such a good organization advocating for your firearm rights.
Donald Trump got more fat women moving in one day than Michelle Obama did in eight years.
