Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumThe backlash is real...It's being felt in Missouri..
Ignorant people on TV speaking stupidly about things they know nothing about, almost totally enabled by a rich 1%'er Bloomberg's money has consequences. It causes people to call their state reps, and demand certain things...And the legislature listened.

The bill also called the Constitutional Carry states anyone who can legally purchase a weapon, can also carry it concealed without a permit.
The Senate voted 24-6 to override the veto on this bill around seven o'clock. The House took it up for a vote shortly after, and in about an hour voted to override it with a vote of 112 to 41.
Time to update this map with some more green..It clearly shows the voter backlash that has occurred, and is occurring. EVery push for gun control, ends up relaxing laws all over the nation.. For every ONE state that tightens, 10 loosen. The message is loud and clear, and being ignored. Seems like the harder they push, the more they lose, and we gain.
But hey, its an election year!! Not a problem right??

All they can do is flit around the edges of reality and focus on their "fewer gun owners" commandment

True this, but a hollow victory IMO considering the political cost attached. Further, why should we be surprised when citizens doubt us w/regard to the issue of global warming when we tell stupid, obvious lies about simple technology like semi-auto firearms?

(18,577 posts)Regardless of her position on gun regulation, trump scares my whole family. We think he wants to be a king, a dictator. To be honest, HRC is my second choice after Sanders. I also anticipate few if any federal changes during her administration regarding firearms. It will be a great milestone for women and one that sets a tone for future generations.

Oh, I think I may understand. You have confused us with a different gun group that endorses Republicans and places issue over party. You can find them here -

(6,185 posts)Hypocrisy?
You've clearly shown that the host of that "other" safe haven group, as well as some of the other Grabnutz, are perfectly willing to throw Dems under the bus in favor of more gun grabbing GOP candidates.
But I'm betting they will just quietly go away and not point it out or demand embarrassing corrections from them.

(21,000 posts)For 2 Orwellian reasons -
First- groupthink is mandatory amongst gun control proponents and Purity is enforced with with enthusiasm even going so far as to ban people for posting historical fact
Second - doublethink is strong among gun control proponents. There are many instances of holding to two mutually contradictory points but seeing absolutely no conflict between them.
In this case the implied accusation of gun owners are those who will support Republicans due to their position on a single issue, while at the same time supporting those in their own camp who openly support Republican candidates over Democrats.

Is it really that hard to accept that many Dems are gun owners?
This is Democratic Underground. Not Discussionist.

(6,185 posts)Our control minded brethren are going to "boycott" all those constitutional carry states ... and all those other shall issue states "which will allow no-questions-asked CCW".
That is gonna really restrict their vacation and college plans to what, 7 or 8 states now?
Then, come November, they'll scratch their heads and wonder how we could have possibly lost so many governor's seats?
