Gun Control advocates, are their own worst enemy

I have been closely watching the gun control debate, on a national and local level, since the issue got hot in the early 1990's

Since that time, trends have made themselves evident. I have noticed that since 1994, in most states, when ever there has “been a call for more gun control” the OPPISITE HAPPENS.

Gun Control, for the most part ONLY, has support in many Northeastern states, California, and Illinois, everywhere else, since the early 1990's Gun Rights supporters have been not only winning the battles against more strident gun control laws, BUT they have been winning the war, by getting many pro-gun laws passed in their places..

For example, look at how widespread Concealed Carry laws are getting now, in the early 1990's their was only a couple of states that had “shall issue”, now, the vast majority have passed CCW legislation. Now Castle Doctrine laws are making their ways thru many states, 15 states have it right now, and at least 5 more are in the process of passing such laws this year.

After the VT massacre, in Virginia, many gun control groups became resurgent, even with the press trying to give these groups legitimacy even when they exploit the families of the fallen, and not report on the outright lies that their arguments are based on (remember the Blood will run in the streets, road rage death and destructing, shoot first ask questions later...etc..etc...etc. BS, and other assorted falsehoods perpetrated by the Repuke run Brady Bunch)

Not only have the Anti-Gunners failed in the vast majority of the nation with their aims, but they have time and time again, brought down the politicians that support them, for example Repuke Jeannemarie Devolites Davis, was trying desperately to hold onto her seat from Democrat Chap Peterson

Than here came Mike Bloomberg, and his endorsement...based on her support for Gun Control...And BOY, are they proud of themselves, but now....Repuke Mrs Davis, is OUT of office, replaced by a pro gun Democrat.

Bloomberg gave her the kiss of death.

Really nothing new here, just another politician going down in flames for taking a position AGAINST the Bill of Rights. This has been happening over and over, in MOST of the nation, since 1994.

The point being, the HARDER the gun control groups push, the more they lose.

After all the protesting they did in Virginia, all the media attention, there “pet legislation” did not even get past the FIRST votes. Now, several PRO gun bills are working their ways thru the Virginia legislature in their places, theses bills, are ALL, finding widespread support, and are going thru the channels, most look likely to become law..

All the press coverage did, was to light a fire under the strong, and political active pro gun majority in this state, who went to Richmond, who wrote letters, who wrote LTE's...Who visited their legislators.

Also keep in mind that Virginia, has a Democratic Governor, and Democrats CONTROL Both houses in the legislator.
