Midterms Closed Door On Gun Control At Federal Level

Midterms Closed Door On Gun Control At Federal Level With the midterm elections largely decided, save for a small number of races, federal gun control legislation that seemed improbable with a Democrat-run Senate looks nearly impossible with a Senate run by Republicans. In fact, the door on federal gun control legislation seems to have slammed shut. According to The Hill, the NRA “endorsed 279 congressional candidates” and over 90 percent of them won. Contrast that with the results Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly’s gun control group got for their endorsements. They “spent millions of dollars endorsing 16 congressional candidates” and… View Article

NRA Received ’95 Percent Return Rate’ on Election Contributions

NRA Received ’95 Percent Return Rate’ on Election Contributions While Michael Bloomberg batted about 50/50 on prominent endorsements and Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly’s efforts were decimated, the NRA received a “95 percent return rate” on election contributions. According to CBS News, “The National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund shelled out $12 million on this year’s midterms.” In return, they saw pro-Second Amendment governors like Nathan Deal (R-GA), Paul R. LePage (R-Maine), and Rick Scott (R-FL) stave off challenges from pro-gun control candidates. Their targeted contributions also helped Republicans expand their majority in the House of Representatives and capture the… View Article

Obama: I’m Big, You’re Small, I’m Right, You’re Wrong

Obama: I’m Big, You’re Small, I’m Right, You’re Wrong Obama took to the podium on Wednesday after the midterm elections and made it clearer than ever that he lives in his own universe. Americans sent the message loud and clear that they reject his policies and the Democrat platform as it currently stands, yet Obama drove the message home that even with a Republican Congress in control, he would continue to push his extremely unpopular liberal agenda. It almost seemed as though Obama was just giving another campaign speech in which it was all about him and not how to… View Article
