Breaking: Trump gets marching orders from NRA

[Eric Arthur Blair]

No, they are not. The NRA was originally founded as a social organization to teach gun safety.
Not as a lobbying firm to boost weapon sales when gun manufacturers don't have a war to cater to.

And Planned Parenthood started as an organization that stressed birth control and education. Only later did it become an abortion mill.
Organizations often morph as they grow and issues change.

NRA warned Trump about support for background checks: Washington Post - CNNPolitics

Without instructions from Wayne LaPierre, Trump would have obviously said something to piss off the NRA. He was probably told that any support of gun control of any kind, would not go over well with the NRA.

So, we now know, in addition to Putin, where Trump gets his orders from. But not to worry, Republicans in Congress will straighten Trump out. Ops, my bad, they will be quiet as little church mice.

LaPierre was just reminding Trump that $30 million ain't chump change

In the 2016 election, the NRA spent $11,438,118 to support Donald Trump’s campaign and donated $19,756,346 to groups opposing Hillary Clinton’s. However, the bulk of the contributions have gone to House and Senate members. Here is a look at the top 10 recipients of NRA contributions.

Who are the top 10 recipients of NRA money?

This might be a stupid question, but why does Trump care what the NRA says? I thought he funded his own campaign? Is he beholden to the NRA? Won't his supporters continue to love him no matter what he does?

Wayne LaPierre et al. are warning Trump that he will erode his beloved base if he encourages any kind of regulation on guns and background checks.

Hmmmmm.....
Hey! Wouldn't it be great if Trump insisted on background checks and his supporters, who defend him for all his horseshit, actually defended him on this, too?
That would be awesome.

Um, there are already background checks. Nationwide.
Have you ever seen the form?
It appears all the recent shooters filled out the form and passed the background check.

Nah, I've never seen the forms. I live in the Appalachians - we can buy firearms at flea markets. Ain't no forms.

The pharmacy called. Your prescription of stupid pills has been refilled.

Your post should be deleted for personal attack without addressing the topic of the NRA's message to Trump. Let's see if these moderators here are up to the job or if they're like the Republican congress: partisan cowards.

The info in the post is fake
So there's that.

Cool. They are doing their job.

No, they are not. The NRA was originally founded as a social organization to teach gun safety.
Not as a lobbying firm to boost weapon sales when gun manufacturers don't have a war to cater to.

Yet that is what they are now, and there's no sense wishing we were dealing with the "old" NRA. We aren't.
The gun manufacturers injected much welcome money into the NRA's coffers. Now, like any politicians anywhere, they sing the gun manufacturers' song.

Did they now or is the truth really that individual donors (i.e. members) are the ones funding the NRA...

The money powering the NRA

The NRA exists to teach gun safety & to promote every citizen's 2nd Amendment.

It's a warning.

------------------------------------ maybe many or most but this might be a close election and i think that TRUMP wants or needs as many votes as he can get . I want no background checks at all so i certainly don't want Extended and i don't want any other laws , but we will see OldLady .

It is, but I'll answer for you.

"The NRA" is MILLIONS of Trump supporters. Hopefully our input matters. He is squishy on this issue though.

 

[Flash]

Trump, being a New York billionaire probably has no convictions whatsoever on guns. He doesn't shoot them himself and he is rich enough to provide all the security he needs.

However, as a political candidate he knows he needs the Conservative gun community to vote for him.

He is probably outsourcing his convictions to the NRA. In his mind they speak for the gun community. If the NRA tells him something is OK he will support it. If they tell him no then he will oppose it.

The stupid NRA gave him permission to go with the bump stock ban so he did.

If they tell him they support a UBC law then he will support it.

If the NRA tells him another AWB is OK he will support it.

No different than Obama doing whatever the filthy unions or other despicable Left Wing special interest groups told him to do.

The bill that article references also includes provisions for some gun-bans, which are a huge no-no. That's probably the major reason it failed to pass. Rather stupid to write an article like that and say it was about a background check bill.
