1. Liberals having guns

I thought that was not possible. Some heads will explode around here.

2. A bunch of liberal gun owners have merely been hiding in their closets. ...

Many others just decided to leave the Democratic Party and vote for pro-gun Republicans instead.

Over the years our support for strong gun control laws, especially gun "bans", has hurt our party dearly in close elections. That why you won't see another major push this year for an assault weapons ban. The people who run our party realize that to do so just before a midterm election is political suicide.

3. Though anecdotal, this is more evidence more Americans are obtaining firearms.

First, the Gallup poll.

Then the Economist-YouGov poll.

And the Ohio & Connecticut spike in new registrants over the last year.

Now, the reports of increases in range attendance.

They can't all be "right wing, white male tea-party types;" they are pretty much accounted for. Time to look closer to home.

I will always be a 2A progressive dem...no matter what.

6. Good for them. It's hard to beat a nice day at the range.

7. Flaccid banners want to condemn Southern Married Males because they own more guns.

Your information about progressive liberals in the west must be RW NRA propaganda!
