To all of the candidates on the Democrat side, know this: I won't vote for you now or ever again if you are willing to re-sign with the NRA for future conventions. Poll that question if you'd like. I'm confident Democrat voters are with me on this. If the good-guy-with-a-gun group ever returns to their senses, we can talk. But until then, NRA, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

In Wake Of Uvalde School Shooting, Gun Rights Advocacy Groups Fill Void Left By NRA
On May 24 a gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas killing 19 students, two teachers, and wounding 17 others. The horrific shooting has rekindled the decades-long debate in the United States between gun control and gun rights advocates. Within economically developed countries, the United States by far outnumbers other countries in terms of both gun ownership and gun deaths per capita. Among gun rights advocacy groups, however, the infighting and reputationally-damaged NRA has provided an opportunity for other organizations (many tax-exempt) to fil...
