Gun Control is their fall back issue for the mid terms. They could not be making a bigger mistake.
In Oct 2016, in the run up to the Presidential election. Democrat Senate candidate Feingold started talking about how Hillary would be taking “executive action” about guns once elected. He lost an election he was winning.
Democrats lost Maine 1, Michigan, Wisconsin and just about lost Minnesota. All dark blue working class areas with a strong hunting tradition.
Running against guns has become the new third rail of US Politics.
Americans want action in the aftermath of Parland. However the Democrats are mis-reading that as support of their decades old Anti Gun Jihad. No, it is not.
Trump is actually the only person in DC who seems to have a grasp on what the US People actually want. Harden the soft targets, raise the gun buying age to 21, a significant improvements in the mental health system to deal with the dangerously mentally ill, and signification improvement in the background check system
The current mental health and legal system SHOULD of stopped the Parkland shooting before it happened. It failed at every step of the way. Urging for MORE gun control laws is arguing to reinforcing failure.
More gun control would be akin to banning the pick up truck the drunk driver was driving after an accident while doing nothing about the problem of drunk driving!
Great to hear from you JOhn. Do you have a take on the David Hogg question?Is the guy real or a CNN mole.
Does that mean an 18 YO soldier is not allowed to fire a weapon, or does an NCO have to come over and pull the trigger, like an adult employee having to press the cash register button when a customer wants to buy beer at the grocery?
And if a 20 YO can't make an intelligent mature decision about buying a gun, the same restrictions should apply to getting an abortion, don't you think?
