Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Okay pro-NRA member anti gun control DU'ers [View all]
How do you "not" support conservative policy in this day and age?
It's a simple question.
I am being serious. It's a valid topic.
We know how far the NRA tentacles reach, they went as far as pressuring democrats to vote to hold Eric Holder in contempt and have on more than one occasion have been able with the help of ALEC to push through laws that give the presumption of innocents when someone is killed by a gun owner.
note: I now understand why DU admin has decided to corral the "Gun Control" subject into this little group area

You are "serious"? As serious as when you said "still a better conservative than most Republicans"?

Naw... I just had to laugh at your attempt to make "conservative" into "conservationist".

The NRA went to the mat supporting Dem. Gov. Ted Strickland in Ohio. My favorite governor ever.
