Not saying it was the case with you, but having recently moved to MD I was shocked at the level of trust that local gunowners formerly afforded the Democrats. There was wink-and-nudge talk in the gunshop about how thus-and-so donk politician or police official was secretly “on our side” and how the gun control talk in the platform was just rah-rah for the lib base. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
