They don't seem to be wielding any power on the left coast.I would say that they don't wield enough power, especially at the State level.

"The NRA has made itself part of the Republican political apparatus by engendering fear, xenophobia, racism and violence among its audiences. It has been used by the Russians to foment discord in American society, and it should be thoroughly rejected by anyone who values American democracy."

Preventing Gun Violence
With 33,000 Americans dying every year**, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence. While responsible gun ownership is part of the fabric of many communities, too many families in America have suffered from gun violence. We can respect the rights of responsible gun owners while keeping our communities safe. To build on the success of the lifesaving Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, we will expand and strengthen background checks and close dangerous loopholes in our current laws; repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to revoke the dangerous legal immunity protections gun makers and sellers now enjoy; and keep weapons of war—such as assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines (LCAM's)—off our streets. We will fight back against attempts to make it harder for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to revoke federal licenses from law breaking gun dealers, and ensure guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists, intimate partner abusers, other violent criminals, and those with severe mental health issues. There is insufficient research on effective gun prevention policies, which is why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must have the resources it needs to study gun violence as a public health issue.

The real crisis facing this country is the opioid crisis, some 115-175 people die each and every single day from it. And big pharma is the most powerful lobby in Washington D.C.There is a perceived crisis with gun violence being the major cause of death in this country. The ability to have a "discussion" regarding guns is delusional. There should not be a need for discussion. Discussion should center on mental health and criminal justice.
You just had to go thereLOL....to the LEFT.....most everything is a "Crisis" when they want some else to pay for fixing it.
Example: OBAMA CARE.

Obamacare was a stupid idea. They won't even admit it because it was Obama who did it. You don't have health insurance or your health insurance doesn't cover it because you can't afford anything that meets the ACA standards? You pay a penalty for essentially being poor!LOL....to the LEFT.....most everything is a "Crisis" when they want some else to pay for fixing it.

The latter is easy, fix the damn media portrayal and copycat crime will be reduced. Mental disorder is responsible for very few murders, basically not enough that it would make any real difference compared to finding a way to eliminate copy cat crime (changing the media portrayal is biggest step in that).There is a perceived crisis with gun violence being the major cause of death in this country. The ability to have a "discussion" regarding guns is delusional. There should not be a need for discussion. Discussion should center on mental health and criminal justice.
View attachment 458751The NRA is there, trying to help us retain our RIGHTS. You know, "preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States".
It's funny.....how/why, the NRA, trying to support the Constitution's 2nd A has become such a, "bad thing".
To ME....trying to destroy the Constitution, is Un-American.
Yup.....I'm a "Deplorable American".
For those that don't recall:
