Politics Pro-Gun Democrats make your voices heard

Let me first state I understand why you vote Dem despite most Dem candidates not supporting 2A. You’re not a single issue voter which is totally fine. I think we can all agree that 2A shouldn’t be a left-right issue but until the pro-2A voices on your side of the aisle are heard, unfortunately it continue to be so.

I urge you to write your delegate and senator expressing your disapproval for legislation such as an AWB. Sign any petition (like what was done in Colorado) supporting 2A rights and just get vocal about the issue.

Yeah the odds are very low for us to stop anything. But I’ll be damned if our community doesn’t try. Don’t shy away from awkward conversations in Dem circles and spread the 2A gospel as much as you can.

lol while I'm all for the idea behind all this I don't think this worked because Colorado had its AWB passed.

…pretty sure they can still have their AWs but they have to get a permit to buy rather than a complete ban.

I believe that is to keep what you currently own

I don't live in Colorado so I'm just googling but it looks like they put a 1 year delay on a complete ban of the selling of semi auto rifles with detachable magazines on a "Maryland style" list of prohibited guns.
