You vote on your hot button issues, I'll vote on mine.

(14,559 posts)I own rather a lot of them and hold a federal firearms license. Got nothing against guns have a lot against people who support the gun industry to the point the PLCAA does.

(14,559 posts)and for the NRA that one vote is all it takes to get an F. Other than that and limiting magazines to 15 rounds every other vote was along NRA lines and the PLCAA was the most egregious. I could overlook the others as minor infractions with little repercussion, but not the PLCAA vote.
As I said, vote your issues and I'll vote mine.

(14,559 posts)against a reply in LBN so I felt justified in posting my response here.
I do understand the need for safe haven groups, probably more than you know.
I'm leaving now.

(14,559 posts)That said this is a safe haven and my remarks don't belong here. I'm lucky to not be banned. For that I'm gratefull.

even a small minority of trolls.

(23,867 posts)I should preface that with the notion that the drug war didn't stop drugs. I'll let you make the parallel.
Is it that gun nuts that end up in the spotlight tend to be conservative? Is that even true?
Bernie's gun position, or lack of one that includes a federal intervention, I feel will get him votes from the oddest bedfellows. Who knows, maybe that's the demographic that will put a very careful and intelligent Senator into the White House.
But I'm tired of cowering whenever an established meme is used to label liberals. Our hearts are the same as theirs, and they aren't bleeding. The welfare queens sit in the buildings next to the ones where they invented that phrase. It has five sides.
What I'm hoping for is face time whereby Bernie can express his solutions to problems such that the tired liberal labels dissolve. Come on gun nuts, vote for Bernie.
