http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.nr0.htm This gov't website says there are 14.8 Million union members.
The NRA reports 5 Million Members.
Who did the Unions support 8 years ago? approximately 130 million votes cast.
Who did the Unions support 4 years ago.? approximately 127 million votes cast.
Who are the Unions supporting this time?
What if the NRA had 14.8 million members?
I just read where it is estimated 200 million citizens own guns.
Food for thought: If gun owners only voted for pro gun candidates ................................

Although I don't know Mrs. Hockley (google her) well, I met her a few times prior to Sandy Hook.
She is a nice lady and means well. Her loss is real. Her pain is real. She is a compelling speaker on behalf of those who view the Bristish/Irish model of gun control as a "solution." (little Dylan was British)

It would be nice if the world were that simple. . .
We don't need a "National Mouth Association" to protect the First Amendment. That one seems simple enough for even the lowliest knuckle-dragger to grasp the importance of.
People will inevitable act for their own security - and on the day-to-day, most easily visible surface, that means the shortest path to the immediate paycheck, food in the belly, and roof over the head. If someone is offering to help solve those problems for you, in an apparent case of getting something for little or nothing, many won't look more closely at the cost. Unfortunately, the cost is that labor unions have become so intrinsically linked with Nanny State candidates that gun control is usually part of the package.
The NRA and satellite groups would do well to more actively present the Second Amendment as a HUMAN RIGHTS issue - a clause that protects against ALL thugs; both random AND official. We haven't really had a Hitler, Mao, or Stalin equivalent in the U.S., and as such, have an unfortunate attitude of "can't happen here", and it's that head-in-the-sand attitude that needs to be adjusted.

Howsabout a 'value membership' with none of the insurance benefits, no signing-bonus gift, no board of directors ballot, and just an E-magazine sent to your inbox instead of the printed copy sent to your mailbox. They could offer that for $10 or $15 dollars a year. And where now only gun manufacturers can offer a free NRA membership with the purchase of a firearm (because they are soooo overpriced), with a lower membership price point, companies that make and sell ammo, optics, clothing and accessories, would also be able to offer free memberships with a reasonable purchase.
It's a numbers game, and the one with the biggest numbers wins.

And that's what you're supposed to do in general elections. General elections are STRATEGIC - they are won by PARTIES not candidates. It doesn't matter how good your candidate is - if his PARTY doesn't win the White House and especially a majority in the Congress, he will have absolutely nothing to do, nothing to say, and his calls won't be returned. ONLY the WINNING party gets to govern - gets to control the agenda, the committees and sub-committees, confirm the judges and other appointments, and ratify the treaties. The LOSING party and EVERYBODY in it might as well be on the moon.
The time to vote for individuals is during the primary elections -primaries are TACTICAL. Then and ONLY then do individuals matter. I know, lots of well-meaning daddies dutifully informed and inadvertently screwed up their kids teaching them that it's important to vote for the man not the party. All that does is pass cluelessness along from one generation to the next.
General Elections are numbers games. They're about the winning of a governing majority, by which a PARTY pursues the acquisition, consolidation, projection, extension, and retention of power. Once again, no matter how good your particular candidate is, if his PARTY doesn't win, he loses. And if your favorite candidate is a good guy who just happens to belong to the wrong party, more often than not, he will vote with his party leadership and against your interests.
Doesn't matter. They are still an R vs D. Must be a good body politic, and vote how we're supposed to.
It felt better because it was done by Rs.
Time to leave the Republican plantation! Well maybe not, not like the Democrats have anything to offer, but I want them to know that if they actually do support some of our causes, there is a chance that I may listen to them. Blindly pulling the R lever doesn't give me that leverage.

actual answer;
They are anti gun by action. When they run they are pro gun until they get your vote, they they revert to what they were.
You take it from there.

EEEUUUUWWWHHH~~~~~~~ That's GROSS! I bet the air was a bit thick in that truck!

I agree with all of the above and I believe we are thus prime for disaster.

I agree mostly but I think you meant the Majority vote blindly. And many within this majority are college educated asleep at the wheel numb nutted sheeple. It amazes me how some people supposedly smart enough to get a college degree can be so DUMB! Makes me think there actually might be something more to intelligence besides being able to read and do math problems.

Just like Bloomberg wasn't a Republican, Trump is a Big Government New Yorker masquerading as simething else. He will sell our 2A rights out in a heartbeat.
