Does concealed carry have a domestic violence loophole? Domestic violence and concealed carry

35. From the "no shit" files...

"The purpose of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Brady Campaign is to counter the effort to weaken our nation's gun laws by the NRA."

No shit? Not a one off us ever considered that might be one facet of their nasty little agenda.

Your characterization is, however, incomplete. You spin their "purpose" as benevolently soft and cuddly and makes it sound like if the nra disappeared from the face of the earth tomorrow, that they'd stop. But we all, you included, know that that just isn't the case, don't we. Your characterization, describes only one facet, of what is necessarily a multi-faceted set of goals, in a war of words over an issue a lot of people find important for a host of reasons.

One in which both sides are nearly diametrically opposed.

Some people would say, that considering the large amount of restrictions on guns which already exist, that the purpose of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Brady Campaign is to limit a constitutionally protected right much farther than they think is right good or decent, which is a position that is not opposed to reducing gun violence other ways...of course none of the illegal mayors or the brady bunch, or any of the so called "gun safety/gun-violence-prevention" groups ever seem interested in those avenues. But then, like you said, their "purpose", is to counter the effort to weaken our nation's gun laws by the nra (not so much to reduce gun violence).

"The NRA represents the radical views of a minority of gun owners in our country. The gun lobby, with the financial support of gun manufacturers, has been able to push extreme pro-gun legislation through state legislatures and bypass the will of the voters, without opposition. Those days are over."

You know, right now, in the GCRKBA, theres a gun ban extremist posting in an active thread. A very active thread. And there have been others before. I note with great interest, as I'm sure many others do, that you never utter so much as a peep to them. Or about them. The gun ban extremists, I mean. The ones whos views are even less compatible with the party platform than those of the nra. You, being so active in gun threads, on and off for the last 7 years and change, and me being active in gun threads since then and even before...It begs the question in my mind, as to whether or not you're even in any position to be using the word "radical" in this discussion at all in the first place...and whether you're a gun ban extremist, like that other poster. If so, your position is even less compatible with the party platform than that of the nra is. If not, you sure seem selectively tolerant of certain positions that are less compatible with the party platform than that of the nra.

I'm sure you'll make your position known to us in a crystal clear way, given your history of interacting with posters that reply when you post an OP in this forum.

After the massacre at Sandy Hook and the debacle of Stand Your Ground laws, the tide has turned. Americans are uniting to pressure politicians for sane gun regulations. The Democratic Party support for strong gun regulations will win elections.

Riiiiight. Explain that to Colorado Democrats.
