NRA meltdown has Trump campaign sweating

[Guno צְבִי]

Republicans worry that the NRA and two other groups that have long formed the core of their electoral infrastructure will be effectively on the sidelines.

In recent weeks, the NRA has seen everything from a failed coup attempt to the departure of its longtime political architect to embarrassing tales of self-dealing by top leaders. The turmoil is fueling fears that the organization will be profoundly diminished heading into the election, leaving the Republican Party with a gaping hole in its political machinery.

With the Chamber of Commerce and Koch political network withdrawing from their once-dominant roles in electing conservatives, Republicans worry that three organizations that have long formed the core of their electoral infrastructure will be effectively on the sidelines.

The predicament has so troubled some Republicans that they are calling on the famously secretive NRA to address its 2020 plans. Within the past week, senators have privately expressed concerns about the group to National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Todd Young.

“No organization has been more important to conservative voter education and engagement than the NRA. We all hope they’re able to mount the kind of effort in the 2020 cycle they have in the past,” said Gregg Keller, a former American Conservative Union executive director. “But in case they can’t, given their current situation, I hope they’re being forthright about that within the movement so others can pick up the slack.”

The NRA is not the "core of the GOP's electoral infrastructure".

Hello gfm7175,

This is a now famous quote from Parkland Survivor Emma Gonzalez:

"The people in the government who were voted into power are lying to us. And us kids seem to be the only ones who notice and our parents to call BS.Companies trying to make caricatures of the teenagers these days, saying that all we are self-involved and trend-obsessed and they hush us into submission when our message doesn't reach the ears of the nation, we are prepared to call BS. Politicians who sit in their gilded House and Senate seats funded by the NRA telling us nothing could have been done to prevent this, We call BS. They say tougher guns laws do not decrease gun violence. We call BS. They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. We call BS. They say guns are just tools like knives and are as dangerous as cars. We call BS. They say no laws could have prevented the hundreds of senseless tragedies that have occurred. We call BS. That us kids don't know what we're talking about, that we're too young to understand how the government works. We call BS.

If you agree, register to vote. Contact your local congresspeople. Give them a piece of your mind.
(Crowd chants) Throw them out."

Hello gfm7175,

Some are, some aren't. My personal observations lead me to believe that, generally, more are than aren't.

Politicians who sit in their gilded House and Senate seats funded by the NRA telling us nothing could have been done to prevent this, We call BS.

Not all Congressional seats are funded by the NRA, nor are any of them solely funded by the NRA.

They say tougher guns laws do not decrease gun violence. We call BS.

They don't.

They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. We call BS.

They do. There are a whole plethora of examples of this very thing occurring.

They say guns are just tools like knives and are as dangerous as cars. We call BS.

They ARE tools. Pretty much anything can be used in a "dangerous" way.

They say no laws could have prevented the hundreds of senseless tragedies that have occurred. We call BS.

Laws do not stop crimes from occurring.

That us kids don't know what we're talking about, that we're too young to understand how the government works. We call BS.

This may or may not be true, depending upon the individual in question. Generally, adults are wiser since they've lived through so much more than kids have... ie, they have more experiences.

If you agree, register to vote. Contact your local congresspeople. Give them a piece of your mind.

The NRA's campaign spending is a very small fraction of the total.

The NRA is not the "core of the GOP's electoral infrastructure".

But it is a very important Republican lobbying group.

And you know just where you want them to have come from, so that's where they must have come from. The same wishful thinking that is the basis for all control freak 'thought', just like it's the basis for the rant from the Parkland student above. Gun control laws don't work. There's never been one that has been demonstrated to have made things better. Oh, maybe there's a reduction in gun violence, but no change in the homicide and violent crime rates. So no real benefit at all. We need to put gun safety education into all the public schools. That would make our children safer around guns.
