All these discussions are on a very sensitive subject right now, all I know, this is a big threat to our 2nd amendment rights, it’s going to get worse as it gets closer to Election Day.
Probably. I'd say the best way for us to deal with it is to interact with anti-gunners in a friendly way. Bring them into our fold. Going to war just makes them dig in.All these discussions are on a very sensitive subject right now, all I know, this is a big threat to our 2nd amendment rights, it’s going to get worse as it gets closer to Election Day.
Well said....The media (all media in my opinion, both "liberal" and "conservative") have done an outstanding job in dividing our country by political party. In my lifetime, I have never seen so much animosity within our American ranks.
Ms. Harris probably isn't the most favorable politician for folks who believe in the Constitution and like the 2A, so we should consider her positions and cast our votes for whomever we feel best represents our views. Don't let the media succeed in its efforts to divide us into elephants and donkeys.
Well, I'm a Dem and I'm not here to take 2A away. There are a lot if people like me. I can also say I've taken people who "hate" guns out to try a .22 or a 9mm and they began to lose their fear/hatred. Being a reasonable person capable of a respectful conversation does makes difference. Don't write people off too quickly.We can talk nicely to the Dems, but do u really think they will change their minds on guns. I don't. Yes we can't go at them with blazing gun ,we have to do it with votes and that only good for 4 more years and then they will be back at it again and so on.

Talking with my Dad, California residents are pro gun. It's the elected officials who vote according to the party platform.Democrats in the fly over states usually represent the views of the pro 2A in my own personal epxerience. The big liberal Coastal cities, plus including Austin, Tx, are the anti gun agenda. Its a numbers game. They have the population centers in the those cities, but don't represent the vast majority of other rural areas in their views. Its their sheer numbers of population that can turn a tide with the vote count. 95% of counties in a state can vote red, but the 2 counties with 70% of the population voting blue wins the race . Blue knows this. Its their end game to impose the version of utopia on the masses.
It's also the Twitter and Facebook mobs. Politicians see the sheer volume of stuff those people throw out and make the mistake of thinking the mob is a significant percentage of the population. Fringe groups get way too much attention theses days because they are one ones that go on social media and run their mouths. People like us with jobs and lives tend to have better things to do than freak out because a white guy does the voice of an Indian character on a cartoon and are too savvy to believe Hillary ran a child sex ring out of a pizzeria basement. Whether it's the insufferable "woke" people or the Q-anon nuts, we'd all be better served if we recognized that those groups are not representative of the whole.Talking with my Dad, California residents are pro gun.

I can tell you, the folks here let their elected representatives have it if they feel that their concerns aren't being heard.It's also the Twitter and Facebook mobs.

Sorry again, I'm talking about the ones running for V.P. and Biden.Well, I'm a Dem and I'm not here to take 2A away. There are a lot if people like me.

Oh no worries. I just feel the need to point out that there are a lot of Dems that are pro 2A. Pointing out where a certain candidate sits on the 2A spectrum is on topic. It's a shame whenever it changes from that to going after ALL Dems.Sorry again, I'm talking about the ones running for V.P. and Biden.
