Exactly.  The NRA sells political influence to prospective and established politicians in return for base support, which translates into donations...that they then dole out to family members of the board.

They say looney shit because looney shit makes people open up their wallets, convinced that they're in a life and death struggle for america. They say looney shit because looney shit is a well defined wedge issue with no ambiguity.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But It Had Nothing To Do With Guns

Quote:A 10-year-old Texas boy was shot to death after his 12-year-old sibling allegedly got access to a gun and shot the child in the chest, authorities said on Sunday.

Correct.  The child allegedly has an alleged bullet wound in his alleged chest.

I've seen "allegedly" used for perps, so as to not pre-judge them, but not that way. Interesting.
