13. Supporting Constitutional rights isn't right-wing. Denying rights isn't progressive.
Edited on Tue Jul-13-10 11:52 AM by Statistical
NRA supports candidates / bills/ policies / officials that support RKBA.
NRA opposes candidates / bills / policies / officials that violate the RKBA.

Pretty simple concept. Many Democratic candidates get endorsements & support from NRA. Some Republicans are on the wrong end of the NRA for their views/votes/policies.

We can't control what support Republicans get but if more Democrats supported RKBA then the party would get more support on average.
Failed gun control policies have been an albatross around the neck of the Democratic party for far too long.
