3. Since Rachel knows what it's like to fire an AR-15...

...there's still time for her to wake up and smell the coffee. It's not a matter of imposing laws on the people of DC, but instead giving them what was rightfully theirs all along.

5. Its about taking away their right to choose their own laws

And to keep them from choosing the people who represent them.

6. Voting away your rights as an American should never be an option

Are the folks in DC governed by the same Constitution as the rest of America or not? They're no less American than I am.

7. DC residents aren't any less American

But The RW NRA-backed poison pill amendment ensures they don't get representation in Congress.

Why does the NRA hate America?
