This is the second attempt on the life of your wannabe god-emperor...are things starting to click into place yet or are you ready to admit it was never about "rights" and "freedoms" you just really like having guns
I sort of wonder how much longer 2A idiocy will last in the US. The NRA has gone bankrupt and since they aren't able to funnel Russian money to politicians like they used to be able to, their influence is basically zero at this point.
With them out of the picture, there's really not a powerful gun lobby getting right wing media to talk about Democrats as gun grabbers.
If you peruse conservative spaces like I do, you'll notice that talking point has evaporated.
The NRA is bankrupt and has no influence? I hadn’t heard about that.
I do notice now that they are charging school shooters parents as well as the kid, maybe that will get people to start thinking about this differently. Maybe.

Looks like the bankruptcy was killed. But yeah, the NRA has been bleeding members and is spending it's money on legal flights. They are in a pretty bad state
it was bound to happen bc the NRA has advocated for a lot of gun control measures which are not very popular with the folks they were supposed to represent.
