Might as well have some fun watching it go down the tubes.

We gotta tighten our ranks and get together or the whole **** house is going up in flames.

Are you stating that they are a double agent?

Wow, I thought I was a conspiracy theorist.


I think the fact that they exist makes them useful in fragmenting the base. Weakens the critical mass needed to show a monolithic solidarity. It may not be intentional, but it has the same effect.

My brother insists that while Biden does have a long history of being fervently pro-gun control, the narrowness of the Democratic majority and the need to not alienate crucial support will make gun control something he won't be willing to spend political capital on. I can only hope so. He also claims that for all her gun control rhetoric, Harris actually owns a handgun for self-defense. Your thoughts?

TOTALLY disagree, doesn't matter that she has a gun or anything else they will STILL be pushing their agenda as somehow it won't affect them.

While the NRA is currently having problems they are still the largest and best hope we have of preserving our 2A rights IMO.
If you're having second thoughts you're two ahead of most Democrats

Looks like Jeopardy game. I’ll take car jacking for $200.

Was your brother in a coma or trapped in the wilderness without access to any media? You should catch him up to speed. Our votes don't matter anymore, elections are rigged, and political pressure is a memory. The left is going to do whatever they want and they don't fear losing any elections anymore.

I would tend to agree, and I would encourage everyone to take a step back from the ledge.

Right now the left is thumping their chests and bleating about everything they're going to do. The democrat caucus isn't as monolithic as they want you to believe. They still have members in purple districts which want to be reelected.

Things are bleak, but they're not hopeless.
I will never apologize for being an American.

The anti-gun zealots don't want to get rid of guns, they just want to get rid of your guns.

They're keeping theirs.

Who is this “he” you are referring to? Harris will be taking office shortly and she is in tight with the squad who could care less about political capital or consequences.

True, she didn't start with any and her dreams are coming true. Re-electability is a non factor if you can manufacture all the votes you need to win.

California sure as it all figured out.

Hmm. Makes me wonder how "No Cash Bail" paired with "No extradition from California" would work out for other states?

Well I wouldn't say GOA exists for that very purpose, but in general I think you have it correct that we need to come together and no organization is perfect. We need to tighten up the ranks. I'm a member of both GOA and NRA. We need both and we need to keep fighting....together. The left is hoping the NRA will self-destruct and we can't let that happen.
