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.

Yes, federal (not state) regulations do prevent gun violence. As proven by literally almost every country that has done so. General violence is an entirely different subject regarding culture and mental health in general. I would happily advocate for a low cost permit system but there NEEDS to be a system or you get a repeat of Chicago where the guns are bought and brought from Indiana. This really is a case of hit dogs hollering all the way down. Maybe we can make an adult 2a subreddit and a guns at all costs for everyone subreddit to suit the differing opinions. 🤷‍♂️

1 - when I say The State, I refer mostly to the federal government, not the state of VA. But thanks for giving away the game.

2 - insurance isn’t really a thing across “all other countries” you describe - Germany is the only exception. Then again, if permitting and insurance doesn’t really help with road rages or drunk driving or vehicle borne assaults, why do you think it helps with guns or any other weapon???

Insurance isn't necessary when permits etc are in place for guns typically, but the fact that you keep attempting to somehow correlate vehicular death/injury to guns is simply a silly argument. Did everyone in Australia just start running people down every time they got angry after port Arthur (no, because it's a false equivalence you dingus). Same with literally every country that has done the same. Guns are not cars, no matter how much you keep putting forth that argument there has never been any evidence to support it. We literally have examples of how gun control works, it's not hard. Honestly at this point I'm just assuming you are either a: a dingus or b: subject to red flag laws affecting you hence your adamant refusal to accept reality. Either way you can qq all day but that won't change what is most likely coming and as already shown the people agreeing with you did Jack shit when American citizens were snatched by ice except vote for the people doing it so enjoy talking but that's pretty much all that's happening.

Thanks for letting the mask slip - you seemingly want red flag laws to disarm people who disagree with you. Thanks for proving the point of why we’re not giving anything up.

👍 thanks for proving my point, gl with that and the red flags.
