There was high stake game played in Washington State between the NRA and the citizens of Washington State, the game was Initiative 594 and the stake was personal background checks for all firearms purchased and closing the gun show loophole.

On November 4th, 2014 the citizens of Washington State won the game when they voted on Initiative 594 and passed Initiative 594 with more than 60 percent of the vote.

NRA was unable to bluff, bully and terrorize the citizens of Washington State into voting against their best interests, despite spending millions lobbying against any sensible gun legislation being passed.

The NRA bet millions on Initiative 591, which would have loosened gun laws by prohibiting background checks on gun purchases unless mandated by federal law, was turned down by about 54 percent of voters.

Tell me if this is not the biggest case cognitive dissonance you have heard of coming from the pro-gun side and then tell me if this is not another example of why we need sensible gun legislation passed. Here is a story about gun store owner and a businesswoman trying to do the "right thing" she was trying to market a smart gun and he was going to start selling the nation's first smart gun but he had to reverse his decision because the mother fucker gun-rights activists were threatening him with DEATH.

Ms. Padilla also has received death threats because she is trying to bring to market the very first smart gun.

Ms. Padilla, a fast-talking, hard-charging Beverly Hills businesswoman who leads the company’s fledgling American division, encountered the same uproar that has stopped gun control advocates, Congress, President Obama and lawmakers across the country as they seek to pass tougher laws and promote new technologies they contend will lead to fewer firearms deaths.

Now to me a logical thinker, who tries to base their major decisions they make in life using logic and reason, this makes no logical sense why anyone anywhere would be against a "Smart gun" and how selling smart guns encroaches on the Second Amendment? A gun is a gun is it not?

Maybe the typical gun-right activist is too stupid to operate a "Smart Gun", do they not realize that by issuing death threats towards people that are only trying to help only adds fuel to the fire of gun-control advocates, just proves our point, that universal background checks are an absolute must.

Maryland gun store owner Andy Raymond reversed his decision to sell the nation’s first smart gun on Thursday after receiving online death threats from gun-rights activists protesting the technological milestone as a encroachment on the Second Amendment.

Raymond, the co-owner of Engage Armament, had called the decision to sell the Armatix iP1 handgun a “really tough decision” after similar attacks against California's Oak Tree Gun Club near Los Angeles recently forced the store to back away from its association with the new smart gun.

Micheal R. Bloomberg is my hero, know why? Because he knows money talks and is going to spend $50 million this year roaring real loud to the N.R.A. He is going to out spend the N.R.A by 30 million dollars. In recent years, the N.R.A. has spent only $20 million annually on political activities. The political groups affiliated with the billionaire Koch brothers, who are seeking to help Republicans take over the Senate, have spent about $30 million in the last six months.

Michael R. Bloomberg, making his first major political investment since leaving office, plans to spend $50 million this year building a nationwide grass-roots network to motivate voters who feel strongly about curbing gun violence, an organization he hopes can eventually out-muscle the National Rifle Association, and it can be done if we elect people with a spine into office. We need to elect people into office that will ROAR against the N.R.A and their terrorist tactics.

I am so tired of living with the decisions people make based on their beliefs in an imaginary being, as a woman my choices to control my own reproductive health have been severely limited simply because of people's belief in an imaginary being. In a magical sky-daddy.

Those beliefs are now going to subject women to no choice but to have a back alley abortion,because the choice of a safe legal medical procedure has been taken away.

You cannot force people to live by your beliefs, you cannot force someone to live by your choices just because it makes you feel better, you cannot and you have no right to take away a woman's control over her own reproductive choices, simply based on a belief in an imaginary being.

People are always saying that Cars kill as many people as Guns, I have this fantastic idea…let’s treat Guns like Cars.

Licenses that prove you are competent enough to operate a gun. In order to be able to operate a gun you would need to complete a series of gun safety and education classes, then you would be issued a learners permit and you would need to log at least 60 hours at the gun range with a licensed gun-owner learning how to safely operate your gun, the gun remains at the gun range or with that licensed gun-owner. Then you would need to complete a gun test, in order to get your actual gun license.

NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre on Thursday March 6th told a group of conservatives that the “greatest freedom” was the ability to have “all the rifles, shotguns and handguns we want.”

The National Rifle Association (NRA) on Friday February the 28th asked its 3.1 million members to call their representative in Congress and urge them to block a rule designed to protect the world’s elephants from being poached into extinction.

In the last two decades, the deep-pocketed NRA has increasingly relied on the support of another constituency: the $12-billion-a-year gun industry, made up of manufacturers and sellers of firearms, ammunition and related wares.

That alliance was sealed in 2005, when Congress, after heavy NRA lobbying, approved a measure that gave gun makers and gun distributors broad, and unprecedented, immunity from a wave of liability lawsuits related to gun violence in America’s cities.

The story behind the Stand Your Ground Law, the reason why the law was enacted, is as tragic as the killing of an unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, and of course the NRA has its tentacles all through the law.

The Stand Your Ground Law was conceived because of an event that occurred during the epic hurricane season of 2004. That November, 77-year-old James Workman had moved his family into an RV outside Pensacola after Hurricane Ivan peeled back the roof of their house. One night a stranger tried to force his way into the trailer, and Workman killed him with two shots from a .38 revolver. The stranger was Rodney Cox who had come to Florida to pick up freelance work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, leaving behind in North Carolina his wife and two kids, Corey, 11, and Samantha, 3.

The reason why Rodney Cox was there that night will never be known, what was known is that he was disoriented and had call 911 because he was in distress for some reason.

Ronald Reagan did state: There is no reason, on the street today, that a citizen should be carrying a loaded weapon. Guns are a ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will.

For five years you have been told Obama is gonna knock on your door and take your guns. For five years the gun manufacturers have enjoyed record profits all because of your fears.
How does it feel to be played for suckers?

Every time we have a mass shooting gun sales go through the roof, how does it feel knowing that the money made from those sales go fund the NRA so they can prevent efforts to stop more mass murders from happening, how does it feel knowing your money is going to fund a terrorist organization?

How does it feeling knowing your 401K investments are going to fund a terrorist organization?

Today December 14th is the one year anniversary of an event that rocked this nation to the very core, an event that as it unfolded caused us to stop what we were doing and take notice, catch our breath and watch, and as the horrific events unfolded we were stunned into silence and tears as we learned who the victims were. 20 children aged 6-7 and 6 adults were gunned down in cold-blood that day, a day that started full of promise and hope, tragically ended in a way that no one could have imagined.

I know not a single Republican voted for the Democrats’ Affordable Care Act, which is rather odd considering it was their plan that was enacted, not the Democrats’.

What Republicans seemed to have forgotten is that we enacted their version of the ACA, in 1974. President Richard Nixon proposed, in essence, today’s Affordable Care Act and 30 years later, then Massachusetts-Gov. Mitt Romney, another Republican, made Nixon’s plan the law in Massachusetts.

Democrats wanted to model the health care reform on Social Security and Medicare, and fund it through the payroll tax.
