Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., addressed the shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that killed at least 18 people, calling it a “horrific tragedy.”

The NRA is becoming less of a major force, though. They are in legal trouble, their membership is way down, and they may not be around much longer…
I wonder if it’s a coincidence that they really started to lose tons of money after 2022, when money transfers from certain parts of the world got a lot harder…
The real downfall of the NRA was them pandering to internal politics rather than advocating for gun rights. They were never anywhere close to the top of the list for highest spending lobbyists, their actual power came from an active member base of avid voters. As they gave more and more concessions and actively supported “compromises” that did nothing but give away more and more gun rights their members shifted to other, more effective groups.
The main reason they have any active members is through coercion. They help provide insurance to shooting ranges in return for requiring NRA membership from anyone that wants to use the facility.
That and free admission to gun shows for a $12 membership signup. The actual 2A community ditched them years ago. Now they’re just a convenient sacrificial punching bag.
Have they tried taking out a loan with Thoughts and Prayers?
If you’re a Supreme Court Justice, you wouldn’t even have to pay it back.
I pray that this is true. That’s where my prayers are going, to the ultimate demise of the NRA and its constituents.
I won’t be happy until they’re actually dead, though.

Why can’t someone ask, “as Speaker, what is your plan to address the epidemic of mass shootings and gun violence?” I’m so tired of their spin making the news while their lack of answers goes unremarked.
“Hopes and prayers.”
…will do nothing to help or stop this kind of horror from exploding across America’s idiotic face again and again and again and again and again without end.
He will be down on his knees praying as he makes it easier for people to get weapons.
He’ll be praying to the God of Ordinance to bestow adequate firepower to the mob ahead of the pre-scheduled Jan 8 2024 Capitol Riot.
Ordnance is explodey stuff. Ordinance is an order or rule.
Whatever, God doesn’t care about my spelling grades!
