GOP, NRA OK with weapons for terrorists

Posted July 16, 2016 1:00 am

Like President George W. Bush stated, "You are with us or you are against us" and it is obvious that the Republicans and the NRA have chosen to be against us, the American public, and pro terrorist.

It is hard to believe but it is a fact that the Republicans and the NRA are for protecting terrorist on the "Terrorist watch list" and/or the airline "No Fly List" in obtaining assault weapons. These assault weapons have been used time and time again as weapons of mass destructions. Therefore, they are pro terrorist and against the American public.

Why aren't the Republicans and the NRA leadership charged with "aiding and assisting the enemy (terrorist)" since they will not pass laws to keep terrorist from purchasing assault weapons? Once again "you are with us or you are against us" and the Republican Party is for gun manufactures selling weapons of mass destruction to terrorist and against the safety of the American public.

I have no idea why they have chosen to be pro terrorist and it doesn't matter why but it is shameful to be against the safety of our mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters; the American families.
