It is “Do As I Say, Not as I Do”. I mean, anyone wants to be able to defend his/herself and families, but when it comes to other people, it gets a little different in terms of how one feels.
Yes, dems have an uncanny capacity to compartmentalize issues. If you asked them theyd have no problem with the concept of self defense...for themselves. Everyone else not so much. Ive had MANY conversations with dems about guns and, with the exception of the useful idiots, had no issues with guns for themsevles. They also tended toward ‘cowboyism’ in that they would shoot someone else for the weakest of reasons. Im not sure to account that to lack of training or liberalism...or both. I could never get enough useful info to form an opinion.
