The NRA's influence has reached it's high water mark, this is the best, most effective they will ever be. This is it. From now on their impact will only diminish.
Savor the moment NRA/GOP. It only gets worse for you from here on out.
See, here's the thing; you underestimate our determination, our perseverance, our passion.
Savor your moment of "victory". It will taste like ashes soon enough.
You can't help yourselves. Your gloating. Your victory laps. You behave as if the fight is over. You think we will now realize just how powerful you are and that perhaps we shouldn't engage in this fight.
Well let me tell you something. You are right about one thing. Yes, you have proven you are powerful, that only hardens our resolve to fight you harder. It convinces us that we have much work to do, and we are just starting.
And I probably shouldn't tell you this, but since you are incapable of self reflection or growth you will ignore it; your hubris will be your undoing. Your victory dance, your facebook posts, your supporters crowing about how they won. This does not help you.
This "victory" through the lens of the rearview mirror, will turn out to have been a severe tactical error on your part. But you couldn't help yourselves. It is your nature to behave this way. And you can't change your nature. A scorpion stings.
But it it is a tactical error. You could have accepted this legislation as watered down as it was. Appeared reasonable. But you chose a different path. And now you choose to gloat over your "victory". It would have been smarter to just accept it and shut up, but you have to have your dance, right? Again. Your nature.
Close to 90% of the country supports this legislation. You are only proving to them how unserious you are and why you must be stopped. You are rubbing your defiance of the will of the people in the people's face. Not smart.
And there is an election coming up quickly and we now have the tols like we've never had before to expose you and your callousness and your selfishness. And we now have powerful allies who are willing to spend lot's of money against you. And we are coalescing, and learning, and we are just getting started.
And oh, we have the numbers. Yes we do.
Savor your moment NRA/GOP. They will soon become fewer and farther between.
