The NRA is Smearing Martin O'Malley as a 'friend to criminals'

[JustAnotherGen]

The NRA - as usual - a bunch of snakes slithering around on their bellies showing Americans every single day that they are a bunch of good for nothings.

The NRA's feature attacks O'Malley on two fronts, claiming that he poses a threat to Second Amendment rights and accusing him of taking the side of criminals in Maryland -- even though courts have sided with O'Malley on gun laws and violent crime fell significantly during his tenure as governor.

Angered by O'Malley's strong support for a package of gun safety laws enacted in Maryland in 2013 following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, the NRA claims O'Malley "imposed the most draconian new gun bans anywhere in the country" before offering attacks from the top two members of NRA leadership.

NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre is quoted in the article claiming O'Malley "has presided over some of the most spectacular, bloody and brutal failures of 'gun control' in our nation's history," while NRA top lobbyist Chris Cox suggests O'Malley becoming president could trigger "a fight for the survival of Second Amendment freedom as we know it."


The NRA also objects to O'Malley's response to the massacre of nine parishioners in a historically African-American Charleston, South Carolina, church in June, sneering that the former Maryland governor acted "decidedly un-presidential" when he wrote an email to supporters declaring he was "pissed" about inaction on gun violence while calling for bans on assault weapons and stronger background checks on gun sales.

I don't know about any of the rest of you who detest the NRA and everything they stand for but . . .


Am I the only person saying to myself . . .

I can't find that one fuck I'm supposed to give about what those pieces of shit at the NRA think is Presidential or not.

1. I'm in favor of Democratic candidates coming out for stronger gun control...bravo Martin and Hillary

If the NRA is reacting, then it must be good.

4. They've been going after him since 2011

This isn't something new for him.

I think they want him 'locked out' of the race because he lend our General Election platform a solid pugnacious approach to combating our foe the NRA . . .

He's effective.
They are butt hurt.
He knows how to win while running directly against them.

Win, lose, draw- we as Democratic Party members have got get behind his record on this.

I'm not saying divert support from one's candidate of choice -

I'm saying what is done to one Democratic Candidate is done to another.

5. i agree. nt

[brer cat]

8. +1

Worth repeating:

Win, lose, draw- we as Democratic Party members have got get behind his record on this.

I'm not saying divert support from one's candidate of choice -

I'm saying what is done to one Democratic Candidate is done to another.

2. Any NRA nemesis is a friend of mine. O'Malley plus points.

3. I can't find any of those F8cks lying around here either!

Now, what I find funny is that they are already gearing up for O'MAlley to come and git there guns!

Obama has nearly 8 years he's slacking on the job!

6. I know - right?

This is just one of their boogeymen. Seriously.

I always like pointing out to Pro Guns Everywhere All The Time Open Carry by Pre-Schoolers crowd -

You mean to tell me that you had a President, House, and Senate for SIX years and they didn't criminalize abortion? They couldn't get that legislation done?

And all we could get done when we had those 'numbers' was the ACA?

Nobody is taking YOUR guns - we just want them out of the hands of crazed mad men, abusive spouses/soonToBeExs/ex's/stalkers, and subversive anti American Americans (think the Bundys of the world, Dylan Roof).

Jiminy Christmas! We have guns in our house - no one is coming to take our guns because we aren't criminals or crazy.

Enough!

7. For some reason...

...they don't get the difference between "banning" and "regulating."

Do they really mean to advocate "unregulated" acquisition, possession, and use of guns?

The second amendment doesn't support unregulated militias either.

Some folks don't have the common sense of a potato.

9. The NRA should go down the same road of Grover Norquist, it is time to put the NRA on the back lines

and protect our citizens, not more guns on the streets and out of the hands of those who do not have the ability to properly handle them, and the ability to know the proper time and place in which guns needs to be used.

10. I see this a a feather in MOM's cap! STFU NRA!

[JustAnotherGen]

11. Ha! I think it's complimentary

He's getting to them - and that's a gooooooooooood thing!

[Andy823]

12. You know he is right

When the NRA has to resort to such tactics, he has to have hit a nerve. I think the gun issue will be front and center during the primaries, and if the candidates don't have a plan to try and stop the insanity we keep seeing when some nut starts killing people, then that candidate isn't going to do well at all. Even republican voters are going to want something done. This issue is nationwide, not just in certain locations.

13. Amen Andy!

The time is now!

[FSogol]

14. I can't find that one F either.

[Aerows]

15. I may have had a fuck around here somewhere

It's probably in this box labeled what the NRA thinks.

Oh wait, that's the rats ass box.

I might have something in the shit box.

I'll keep looking.
