Gun Control Reform Activism
In reply to the discussion: Here's what I think should happen in the realm of gun control. [View all]billh58
(6,655 posts)45. There is that NRA
        lie again: "alienating 80 million or so gun owners in this nation." Bullshit! ALL gun owners do not agree with you or your "let's compromise" gunner stance. At least half of those American Liberal gun owners are supportive of gun control legislation that does not infringe on the intent of the Second Amendment as defined in Heller: self-protection in the home and traditional uses such as hunting. At least 40 million of those American gun owners are Liberal Democrats and responsible gun owners.
Nice try, but no cigar.

        You go guy/girl!  We can all work for this, we just have to actually WORK for it.

        Not a bad list.  I'd prefer tougher toting restrictions in cities and limits on gun acquisition.

        I think it's time to stop worrying about a backlash from inconsiderate gun abusers.  Seriously.

        The vast majority of gun abusers are right/white wingers.  I doubt there are many true Democrats

        We won't if we keep proposing laws that won't stop gun proliferation and gun love.

        Do you really think a Democrat that has a gun or 2 for hunting or home defense would feel alienated

        Sorry that you are that enamored with gunz.  I guess it's tough breaking free for some folks.

        Maybe it is irrational to think you need that capacity.  In any event, that just shows gun fanciers
