Democratic Candidates Picked a Big Fight with the NRA at Their First Debate

In last night's first Democratic debate of the 2016 campaign, the word "guns" was mentioned 40 times, by our count, as the candidates spent nine minutes discussing gun violence and gun policy. Hillary Clinton and Martin O'Malley each proudly claimed the National Rifle Association as an enemy, with Clinton separately proclaiming, "It's time the entire country stood up to the NRA."

Four things that convinced party leaders that gun reform has become a winning issue.

If a Democratic politico was frozen in suspended animation 20 years ago and thawed out in time to watch the party’s first primary debate of the 2016 Presidential election, they might be aghast watching the candidates invite battle with the National Rifle Association. Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders competed to see who had the worse NRA rating. Both O’Malley and frontrunner Hillary Clinton said they were proud to have the gun lobby as an enemy.

Had none of them learned the lesson of her husband’s first term? After all, Bill Clinton wrote in his memoir that the “N.R.A. could rightly claim to have made [Newt] Gingrich the House speaker,” with gun control producing only a conservative backlash. Now, it seems, Democratic presidential hopefuls are itching for a fight over guns. What’s changed?

"It's time the entire country stood up to the NRA"

I think these Dems are grossly underestimating how many gun owners there are in America. I hope they (we) all show up to vote against these Communists.

It never ceases to amaze me that those Democrap idiots, who have armed entourages, think that our lives are any less important than their lives.

. . . and the horses they rode in on!

It's about time every gun owner join the NRA, that would shut them the fuck up

The ones that voted Obama twice?

Gun banners are on the march and are working very hard on every front. I see nothing from our side. "There's a lot of us" or "We wouldn't let that happen" wishful thinking isn't going to hold back this tidal wave for long.
