took out eric cantor on the basis of this issue. this needs to become almost a single-issue vote in florida if as governor dean says, rick scott loses to bill nelson that will have a chilling effect in florida and i believe across the country. adam, rick scott has been coy about whether he will attend the nra convention in dallas. and the nra is becoming toxic. the govr nor ernor that been in to attend the event. what does it tell you that rick scott won t definitively say he s attending the dallas convention? i think the climate among republicans has been upended. it was a no-brainer he would have attended. we have a competitive governor s race where the front-runner used to say i m a proud nra sellout. he no longer says that. another candidate, richard co
senator rubio, can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the nra in the future? the answer to that question is that people buy into my agenda. i do support the second amendment and i support the right of you and everyone here to go to school safe. in the name of 17 people you cannot ask the nra to keep their money out of your campaign? i think in the name of 17 people, i will pledge to you that i will support any law that will prevent a killer like this florida senator marco rubio faced the grieving families survivors of the parkland school
suggests a majority of americans of all political stripes, republicans, democrats and independents want these common sense guchb reform laws. the challenge is that right now in florida the nra is doing their playbook. governor marianne hammer is saying we ll concede on a couple little points. she will tell her gimp, rick scott, we ll let you have wiggle room on raising the age from 18 to 21. our friend says if n a world that s constantly changing, you need to change slightly. you the american voter have in your hands and in your ballots the ability to stop these bullets from flying in schools across the country. the way to do that is not let them off the hook. the hard right wing has been very effective in this regard. we saw it in virginia, for example, on immigration they
a number of things you have come for. against waiting periods for long guns, against raising the age limit for getting an ar-15, against banning assault weapons, against banning bump stocks. the thing that i hate most about that is the members of the nra that these people are supposed to be representing. they are misrepresented about them. 99% of the people in the nra are amazing americans who want to stand up for what they believe in. i respect that. it s the people at the toch of thehe it s the people at the toch of theh top of the nra who responsible for this. what s growing here is the amount of gun sales in this country. that s what the nra is trying to serve at the top.
i would challenge that rubio is not doing their talking points. but that he don t want waiting periods to buy long guns, to buy ar-15s, they don t want to raise the age limit to 21, they don t want any age limits for purchasing semiautomatic rifles. they don t want to ban assault weapons or bump stocks. mar marco rubio, is he really stepping away from them if he says restraining orders? i think the republicans have a huge problem here. part of it includes the staying power of the people you interviewed previously. the problem is not whether you want this ban or a little of this, a little of that. the problem is who does the nra fund and are you a member of the nra? there s an awful lot of republicans who staked themselves out so far, i don t think they can get back to where americans are. the polling shows americans want reasonable forms of gun control. much more than the republicans will ever be comfortable with. i think they ll have to take a beating in the election to come
