In reply to the discussion: ***NRA PRESSER. LIVE THREAD**** Fuck you Wayne, you loathsome piece of slime. [View all]Jeff In Milwaukee
(13,992 posts)126. He's marginalizing the NRA, which is good.
If you're a member of Congress thinking of voting for gun control, this guy just gave you political cover to do it. Clearly the NRA is not going to cooperate. This presser was just a massive "Fuck You" to the families of the adults and children killed in Newton, CT, and I would expect we'll be hearing from them soon.
