Like I said upthread, I would consider voting for Democrats if they were pro-gun, or at least ambivalent on the issue. I consider gun ownership a civil right, just like the freedom of speech is a civil right. And as with any right, it can be curtailed on an individual basis through due process.

But at the same time I don’t lump all Republicans in with the ultra right wing psychos. I try to make an effort to put myself in their shoes to understand their side of things. I think this counties refusal to listen to the core of its problems ??♂️ yeah but guns dont really drastically change their lives like other issues like healthcare do which is why it's dumb if their vote is mostly based off of their favorite hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many everything begins and ends with guns... its what seemingly makes us "Americans". The manipulation of peoples fear that the gov't is coming for guns is the one constant thing to be exploited.. "Gov't is going to take away your guns" is the rally cry for anyone trying to derail any real discussion on firearms.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, enlighten me, where exactly is the compromise on: Gun control Abortion Immigration Equality The entire Republican platform, what it is today, is built around fearmongoring (and Trump is the pinnacle of that perspective), the "other side" will take our guns, the Mexicans will kill everyone, and the "other side" wants to take our god. When the right is ready to get back to the actual core Right values of small government, you let me know, and we'll talk. If you want the Left to take the Right seriously in its current form? Not a fucking chance. It has nothing to do with "superiority"--it's that the common sense side of my brain can't comprehend why anyone needs to own an arsenal of weapons, needs to tell a woman what she can or can't don't with her body, needs to tell people who they are allowed to and supposed to love, and thinks that anyone who isn't white or privileged is out to kill them. The Left isn't that far left. It just feels that way because the Right has gone so fucking far off the reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
