A billionaire's money should be able to buy whatever people are willing to sell to him.

If it's theirs to sell. Rights aren't for sale at any price except tyrrany and death.

This may come as big a shock to you as it was to me, John, but not everyone chooses to own a gun. A right may be exercised, but it isn't compulsory. It's up to the individual. Everyone who is a citizen and is 18 years of age has the right to vote. Less than half of us do. Some gun owners chose to sit out the last two elections or voted for a third party candidate and look what it got them. Just sayin.

[JohnR]

Whether you exercise it or not, it's still yours. I'm not a news publisher, but I have the right to become one and print what I want.

Bloomturd does not always win. He has some noticeable losses. Those that sit out elections deserve the scourge of plagues that would make Biblical Scholars cringe.

BAM......right on.

NO! Nor can he technically. It depends on how you are defining "right". Are you talking bout our god-given natural rights? Or are you really just talking about our governmant's promise to protect those rights? Regardless, he sure can influence the low-informationers who are quick to sacrifice their option to exercise their rights and are even quicker to step on ours.

But to the OP...thanks for posting. I like the current crop of NRA ads. I think they may get through to some people.
