Gun Control Reform Activism
In reply to the discussion: Here's what I think should happen in the realm of gun control. [View all]sked14
(579 posts)22. The majority of gun owners these days aren't about hunting,
it's about self defense and most do agree with UBC's, mag limits, beefed up ATF enforcement, are you willing to alienate them for what's not reachable in the forseeable future?
I'm not. I would rather work with firearms owners, hunters and others to achieve what's possible than to piis them off and suffer the backlash.
Just ask William Jefferson Clinton how well that worked out in 94.

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.

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
