There has been a lot of discussion about firearms in GD over the last week. Millions of Americans own firearms for a multitude of reasons. These people are liberals, conservatives, and every political persuasion in between. There are at least 80 million gun owners in the United States. We own guns for self defense, hunting, target shooting and many other lawful purposes. We are not second class Democrats. To illustrate my point, ask yourself how much gun control was passed between 2008-2010? None.
Before deciding to alienate Democratic gun owners, please read this classic DU thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=118x138850
We need to work together to bridge the gap, and tone down the rhetoric.
