Gun Control
I wonder if any Democrats want to talk about gun control today?
God Bless America, and please hurry.

Re: Gun Control
I think that people most likely voted along party lines that indicate disapproval of the current president much more than they went shopping for anti-gun-control candidates... but that's just my theory.VoiceofReason wrote:I wonder if any Democrats want to talk about gun control today?
A win is a win, right?
However, if you think it's going to change the current gridlock that is the federal government, you're much more optimistic than I am.

Re: Gun Control
I've already received a briefing from NRA. The exit polls and interviews indicate that gun control was a major issue in some races in some states and we won. We won in spite of massive spending by Bloomberg.cb1000rider wrote:I think that people most likely voted along party lines that indicate disapproval of the current president much more than they went shopping for anti-gun-control candidates... but that's just my theory.VoiceofReason wrote:I wonder if any Democrats want to talk about gun control today?

Re: Gun Control
Colorado comes to my mind. Anti-gun governor booted out.

Pretty sure the anti gun CO incumbent Governor won. The US Senator lost however.Beiruty wrote:Colorado comes to my mind. Anti-gun governor booted out.
"We" lost In Oregon with background checks. The result and the method (billionaire funding) is not encouraging.
Mallory won in CT. This may play out badly (confiscations) in the weeks and months ahead.
Yes it was a great night. But there were a few really bad losses.

Re: Gun Control
Breitbart weighs in: Second Amendment Crushes Gun Control Candidates in Midterm Elections.
An excerpt:
An excerpt:
Glad to see my NRA-ILA donations being putting to good use! Way to go NRA!On the gubernatorial level, in Arizona, pro-Second Amendment candidate Doug Ducey (R) beat gun control candidate Fred DuVaul (D). And in Florida, pro-Second Amendment incumbent Rick Scott (R) beat gun control candidate Charlie Crist. These victories were enhanced by the fact that Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly endorsed DuVal and Giffords' gun control PAC gave $100,000 to Crist's campaign.
..
In Texas, NRA-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott (R) won. In Maryland, NRA-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan (R) won. In Alabama, NRA-endorsed Governor Robert J. Bentley (R) won. In Wisconsin, NRA-endorsed Governor Scott Walker (R) won. In Michigan, NRA-endorsed Governor Rick Snyder (R) won. In Nevada, NRA-endorsed Governor Brian Sandoval (R) won. In Ohio, NRA-endorsed Governor John R. Kasich (R) won. In Oklahoma, NRA-endorsed Governor Mary Fallin (R) won. In Wyoming, NRA-endorsed Governor Matt Mead (R) won. In Idaho, NRA-endorsed Governor Bruce Otter (R) won. In Kansas, NRA-endorsed Governor Sam Brownback (R) won. And in Maine, NRA-endorsed Governor Paul R. LePage (R) won against gun control candidate Michael Michaud (D). (On August 8, Breitbart News reported that Michaud was supported by Gabby Giffords.)
In Senate races, gun control Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) was defeated by NRA-endorsed Cory Gardner (R) and gun control Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) was defeated by NRA-endorsed Thom Tillis (R). In Kansas, NRA-endorsed Senator Pat Roberts (R) won. In Georgia, NRA-endorsed Senatorial candidate David Perdue (R) won. In Arkansas, NRA-endorsed Tom Cotton (R) won. And in West Virginia, NRA-endorsed Shelley Moore Capito (R) won, marking the first time that state has sent a Republican Senator to Washington DC in over five decades.
The spotlight was also on the race between NRA-endorsed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and pro-gun control challenger Alison Grimes (D). McConnell won handily.
NRA-endorsed Senatorial candidate Joni Ernst (R-IA) also won.

Re: Gun Control
I say "Bring It On!". I hear so many liberals tell me, "Nobody wants to take your guns away," and I simply don't believe it. If one small microcosm of our country (Colorado) chooses to demonstrate what many of us believe to be true (i.e. registration leads to confiscation), then at least it is isolated in one place - and - it proves our point. It will boost our side of the argument across the rest of the country. All those 'fence sitters' who own guns but don't want to take sides may finally wake up.gljjt wrote:Pretty sure the anti gun CO incumbent Governor won.

Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Re: Gun Control
They will tell you that to try to sell you into giving up just a little bit more of your rights. Taking your guns away right now wouldn't work. It wouldn't pass. But if they can whittle away slowly, soon that's all they will have left to do. Then after the guns, they will go after other defensive tools like knives. Just look at the UK and Australia. Thankfully we have the good people at the NRA and other similar organizations fighting for our Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.Vol Texan wrote:I say "Bring It On!".

Re: Gun Control
I agree.....would love to see house to house confiscation in some state like CT or MA. I don't think they're that stupid, but if they are, they'll set the gun control movement back decades.Vol Texan wrote:I say "Bring It On!".

Re: Gun Control
If they attempted confiscation of firearms and the populace resisted, it would be interesting to see how far they would go to “prevent firearm violence”.
God Bless America, and please hurry.
