In reply to the discussion: Is it mutually exclusive to be both pro-gun rights and a Democrat? [View all]TheKentuckian

Who cares?
They cannot explain how transition power from the many to the few is liberal or why so many on the other side of this are so cool with free speech zones, warrant-less wiretaps, shitting on habeas corpus, trial by hellfire missile, and any other violation of our individual rights. I'm surprised they aren't trying to cut corners on military housing and make the troops bunk with us.

"ALL GUNS ARE EVIL refrain." If you want a reasonable discussion you might want to avoid that

a gun owner? no, 20-30% of Democrats own guns. A gun rights radical? Pretty much yes.

No, but notice how a lot of gun nuts tend to echo right wing talking points on other issues?

It is ok to be pro-gun here, but spouting pro-NRA talking points will get you a well-deserved
