As a conservative Democrat, I am encouraged that a significant number of Democratic Senators supported this common sense legislaton to ban lawsuits against gun manufacturers when their guns are used by criminals. Democrats need to strongly support Second Amendment rights and mandatory sentences from criminals who use guns to commit crimes. I think that may be the start of a pro-gun rights trend among Democrats.

Now if they could defeat the bullet ID bill in Kalifornia I'd be happy. If the Kali bill passes it will open up a whole new front in the gun control wars.

[DuckFan4ever]

Conservative Democrat huh? That's an oxymoron as ridiculous as pretty ugly. What makes you a Democrat?

"I think that may be the start of a pro-gun rights trend among Democrats."


I'm sorry, but fat chance. The Democrats know this is a losing issue for them. Nevertheless, they aren't smart enough or honest enough to take a pro-gun rights position. And if they do, like in this case, it is only window dressing.

The only reason they went along was because it included
Mandatory gun locks be encluded with each sale, that
and it was going to pass anyway.

"I think that may be the start of a pro-gun rights trend among Democrats."

Yeah, right.
We know how this game is played.

For anybody interested they can see the roll call vote at the below link.

hillary was at least honest and showed her true self by voting against the 2nd amendment.

The only Pubbie who voted against was dewine(OH).

Nope. This is just a decision by Senate Dims in red states to not pick this particular hill to die on because there's nothing in it for them. So they hold their noses and vote for it to try and fool the rubes back home, all the while crossing their fingers and figuring which court is most likely to overturn it and then working to steer it toward that court.

[WorkingClassFilth]

How many of there are you? Most working class folks that I know that still define themselves as Democrats today are usually clueless about the actual state and goals of the Democratic party. With a little honesty, trust and discussion, they usually come to see themselves as conservatives.

[Shooter 2.5]

So how many in the dems in a leadership role voted for this Bill? One? Is that a significant number? Is fourteen out of the total amount of dem Senators a significant number?

Yeah, right.

Guess what? The gun owners already know which party is the enemy of the Bill of Rights and it isn't the Republican Party.

Regardless of how many dems start to vote for Gun Rights, the gun owners of this country are voting straight Republican Ballots. If you can't keep yourself safe in your own home behind locked doors, all of the other political positions don't mean a thing.

[Richard-SIA]

Were/Are the majority of democrats really that anti-gun, or is that just the media cooperating with high-profile democrat extremist?

I am sometimes startled to learn that many of my customers, who buy lots of "AW" firearms, and even machine guns, hold CCW permits, etc. are registered democrats.

Seems there may be a distinct disconnect between the Dem. party "leadership" and it's mainstream members.

I hope so.

[billnaz]

I hope you're right, but I will believe Democrat support for the Second Amendment when I see it. All the Draconian gun control legislation has been passed when the Democrats had a majority in the Congress.

IMHO, Harry Reid and the other Democrats who supported S.397 knew that if they voted No on the bill they would pay for it at the polls. Unless I'm wrong, all the Democrat votes for S.397 came from Western (excluding Kalifornia) and Southern states, where vocal heartfelt support for the Second Amendment is a requirement for getting elected. Even RINO John McCain, no friend of gun owners, knew what side his bread was buttered on when he voted Yes on this bill.

"As a conservative Democrat, I am encouraged that a significant number of Democratic Senators supported this common sense legislation to ban lawsuits against gun manufacturers when their guns are used by criminals."

And you're a democrat why?

[Still Thinking]

I think that may be the start of a pro-gun rights trend among Democrats.

Would that it were so. Democrats, if nothing else, can be excellent tacticians. As soon as they sense that they have the power to do so, out again will come all the collectivist, freedom stealing proposals they couldn't sneak through before.
