Wait. What?
You think for one minute that Democrats aren't going to deny what we want?
Maybe I am misunderstanding something.
We need to challenge and replace the RHINOS with support of new blood at the primary level, even if they are not in your district!
Hard to do when they avoid taking a vote and then tell us they fought hard for it. We have no way to know any different.
I'm sure some of them did fight for it. Others will keep quiet while they kill it and whisper sweet nothings in our ears.
We need to start holding their feet to the fire. If they aren't fighting loudly for what we want, then we have to assume they had different ideas.
I know I'm just bitter, but I'm tired of being lied to by legislators that think I'm a sheep and will vote for them no matter how long they drag their feet.
Elections matter. Sooner or later, we'll lose seats in the senate and then we won't get squat passed. How long do we have to tolerate being led around by these people?
We also have to keep a couple of things in mind:
1. They have a lot of stuff to do, other than just pass or kill gun bills (I know there is a very short list of things that the constitution requires them to address).
2. As gun owners, we are a very small percentage of the population.
3. As activist gun owners, we are a very small percentage of a very small percentage of the population.
It's all fine and good to be upset (even angry), but don't lose sight of the fact that we have to work within the system that exists.
