Gun Control Reform Activism

(54,770 posts)23. Sorry, I don't think true Democrats will vote Republican over gunz.
Especially, if they can still keep a gun or two. If they are into Kal-Tecs, strutting armed down city streets, stand your ground, support Zimmerman, and stuff like that, they are not likely a Democrat or Independent who would vote for a Democrat.

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

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
