Rep. Gilliard requests NRA donate funds to combat the spread of COVID-19

Quote
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – SC Representative Wendell Gilliard sent a letter to National Rifle Association (NRA) president, Carolyn Meadows, calling upon the NRA to donate funds from recent gun sales to efforts combating the spread of the coronavirus.

Gun sales have increased 500% over the last two weeks. Gilliard suggested that the NRA donate funds towards “obtaining medical equipment for the medical professionals and helping the homeless population.”

I think the NRA should immediately pledge all the money they get from gun sales.  I would suggest explaining reality to the Rep., but I think ship may have sailed.

"The NRA has not yet responded."

I'm sure because they are gathering their millennial smartass employees into a focus group to come up with a proper response for this horse's ass.

Given how much the government gets from each sale, maybe the government should donate the proceeds from gun sales to fight the Kung Flu.

I don't think that ship sailed, I think it sank.

Will he be donating any of his own money?

It was moored to Guam when all those troops caused Guam to tip over.

Now do Planned Parenthood.

PP is going to need that money in 9 to 10 months.

No, they'll be making more money. (Unless the virus gets really, really bad. Like, having to repopulate the Earth bad.)

Beat me to it. I suspect, without wishing any ill will on anybody, that the esteemed politician will be embarrassed by falling for his Party's own lying propaganda.

I also wish the NRA would agree to his proposal, then do nothing.  When the Democratic Outrage Machine (DOM) starts its hysterical screaming, only then mention the truth.

And once again it is on full display that the best and brightest find something else to do besides running for public office....particularly at the federal level.

Why "almost" wish for this? I had the same thought. It would be a classic example of reaping what you sow.

You captured an early version, with "almost," which I changed to "also."
