As Democrat postmortem sets in and gun control proponents grasp for ways to explain the political beating they took on November 4, the explanation is already evident to voters -- "It's the Second Amendment, stupid."

In 1992 James Carville provided a singular focus for the Bill Clinton campaign by quipping, "It's the economy, stupid." The Harvard Institute of Politics reports that this went from being a statement to an "internal audience of campaign workers" to being the way Clinton packaged and sold his presidential campaign.

Fast forward 22 years and "It's the Second Amendment, stupid."

The Washington Post admitted that Americans largely agree with the NRA's views on the Second Amendment, thus they voted for candidates the NRA endorsed.

For nearly two years Democrats and Democrat-run gun control groups claimed that 90 percent of Americans supported more gun control.

Bwahaha, how'd that work out for you liars?

It doesn’t matter if 90% of the non gun-owning population supports confiscation, the gun owning population does not. How do they think that’s going to go over?

Even if the 90% lie were true,if 90% of americans wanted to deprive Jews or Hispanics or left-handed blondes of their rights it still wouldn’t be legal.
