Wow, bunch of cheapskates there at the NRA. 176,000 was the top contribution. McCabe's wife got 750K from the dems to git er done. That is piddling money compared to what the republican opponents get from soros and others to counter it. Thanks for posting that to show how little is actually out there compared to the daily hype that the media reports.
Good. Most NRA members were sort of hoping it was not going to support Hillary and Bernie. Ironically though, Bernie has supported gun rights in Vermont- more than you would think anyway. This is because Bernie is from Brooklyn but his constituents are often Vermonters. Funny how that works. Bernies first house in Vermont. Keep in mind that he described his occupation as "carpenter" then. Okay fine. https://www.politico.com/magazine/gallery/2016/02/bernie-sanders-vermont-000610?slide=2
No guns and no security checks in ANY civilized country where politicians have brains and are human. Why is the US the only "civilized country" having these problems?
When insanity strikes a whole nation, insanity becomes normal while normal things become insanity for them. Having no guns is insane for most Americans, while in the rest of comparable countries having guns is insane. It is almost impossible to heal an insane nation, even innocent people getting slaughtered on a daily basis has no influence. Switch of your brain seems to be the "leitmotiv". Insanity blocks every possibility for normal and logical thinking.
I read what you wrote. Israel is an inherently dangerous place because of anti Semitic government sponsored terrorists. That is not what is happening to us. Our problem is we are too loose with guns. It leaves the most vulnerable people vulnerable to mass murder. Israel can identify high risk schools and targets based on proximity to dangerous places. We cannot. This can happen everywhere and anywhere. Every school in America is susceptible. The security to prevent these attacks would need to be nationwide. Literally every school.
The guiding principle for reaching a solution imo could be fairly simple - Jesus once said: " Be like a Child!"
