The liberal left has always had the MSM in their pocket, so we could have predicted the massive media coverage of all the anti-gun protests. I did see one such "news" report shown from a ground view that looked like a solid mass of humanity crowding the street and a park area wall to wall but they (very briefly) flashed an aerial view which showed the crowd to be only at one corner of the park, and the crowd did not seem nearly as large.
This time around, however, the opposition has gathered lots of financial support from the likes of Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Oprah, Paul Allen, Steve Ballmer, Rupert Murdoch, & George Soros.

They have also lined up half of Hollywood crazies led by George Clooney and Steven Spielberg to help lead the charge; and then there are the kids who are being brain washed and used by the socialist left to accomplish the deed.

As Jim said, we've got to keep the pressure on and a strong NRA is more important than it has ever been if we are to block the opposition this time around.
DISCOUNT NRA MEMBERSHIP

Yeah, well, money can buy bodies in the street. That doesn't mean all those bodies believe the B.S. they're "marching" for. The proof is in the pudding when you see them interviewed and they don't know their brown eye from a hole in the ground.
The problem with their strategy is two fold. Number one, Hollywood has lost ALL credibility since the ugly truth has been revealed, and they've all been raping each other and no one has spoken up. This has screamed hypocrisy quite loudly, even to the most left leaning liberal. Secondly, money can't buy votes. These people they're paying to show up to march, and they pay very, very well, still have to get off their couches and vote. Hands down, as long as the electoral college exists, our strength is in voting.
MAC did a good review on the NRA, and I struggle to support them. He said the NRA is a mess, and the lukewarm NRA side is what keeps me from supporting them. If they give an inch here or there, then what good are they? This is the steamroll effect they're looking for, and they'll take that inch and keep on chugging. Enough is enough. The bump stock fiasco was the stepping stone. They NEVER should've mentioned banning them. They know the verbiage better than anyone when it comes to ATF laws, and they know that banning bump stocks would ban a lot more simply based on how a law would have to be written up. It was a stupid part on the NRA to support that hair brained idea. One crime was committed with them. Ban them. Please. More people have to die in car wrecks before a company issues a safety recall.
