3. Until we, as Liberal Democrats, can
Sat May 3, 2014, 11:05 AM

vote out the NRA puppets in our midst, and marginalize the right-wing gun lobby, "common-sense" gun laws will be stifled at every level of government. Gun fetishists care absolutely nothing about public safety, and cheer those who kill in the name of "stand your ground." They actually believe that they are equal to, or above, duly appointed police forces. They itch for the opportunity to "water the tree of Liberty" with the blood of fellow Americans.

The NRA is insidious, and has operatives and followers in every nook and cranny of this country, including here on DU. The right-wing gun lobby, and its mouthpiece the un-American NRA will never rest until there is a gun in every home, and in every hand. These despicable gun profiteers have the money and the marketing networks which enable them to buy politicians and sway elections.

If we are to bring sanity and common-sense back to this country, we need to elect more Liberal Democrats who will not be intimidated by the gun-crazed absolutists and apologists.
