That the GOP clearly thinks stricter gun regulations will cause a decrease in campaign funds from the NRA proves that this party is willing to take blood money from an organization that does not even speak for the majority of their members. Instead, the NRA is standing up for gun manufacturers who are afraid their sales of guns designed for war will decrease, as citizens of this country pay the price with their lives. They need to spare us all the rhetoric that automatic and semi-automatic weapons are used for killing gophers, prairie dogs and feral pigs. We are aware these weapons are being used on the children the GOP has sworn to protect. There is no provision in the Second Amendment protecting a person’s right to slaughter innocent citizens of this country. The shooters, who do not belong to a militia and are not defending our Constitution, are creating havoc at a time our country’s Constitution and rule of law have been attacked by extremists. It is time to say enough to Rep. Elise Stefanik and her party.
