(4,462 posts)Sadly, far too many of our own party ignore or scorn other Democrats who don't believe the 2A is some abomination in the Bill of Rights. They fail to understand that such an intransigent attitude has hurt the party politically for over a generation, everything from the extreme electoral losses that resulted from the now expired Assault Weapons Ban to more recent losses where Republicans now totally dominate the South and much of the Midwest, including a clear majority of seats in Congress and control of state governments.
Gun control is not only an big electoral loser with a majority of the population, it has effectively prevented broader progressive legislation for decades. No amount of cartoons or complaints about NRA "talking points" change this inescapable fact.
