"Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to take your guns away."
-- Donald Trump, speaking to the NRA
"You can kiss your guns goodbye...If she could, Hillary would ban every gun, destroy every magazine...and put your name on a government registration list."
-- NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre
I can't count the swarms of government officials constantly pestering me to surrender all of my firearms, it's a full-time job shooting near them to keep them off my property. Yep, full-time job, not to mention the ammunition costs! There are mountains and mountains of guns that the government has taken, just sitting out there, next to the FEMA concentration camps which are run by Obamacare death panels.
I am so tired of this dog whistle being blown. Obama hasn't come for your guns, he's actually loosened some restrictions, which I totally disagree with. And don't give me this shit about defending yourself from criminals, the violent crime rate is the lowest it's been in most places in over 20 years. You're more likely to be defrauded by cyber-crooks and Wall Street bankers than armed thugs, as long as you're white. If you're black, different set of equations.
The reality is that these have been bumper years for gun and ammunition makers, and they make up 70% of the NRA's budget. So how is the NRA talking for hobbyists and hunters? They're the lobbying group for the gun industry, they just don't admit it.
