Bloomberg's gun control group spends $15M on campaigns in eight swing states

Thanks for posting.
I hope that other members will post this link to their facebook and other social media. pages to get the word out as I just did.

 

Additional evidence that if one values their gun rights voting republican in Nov. election is it.

 

Maybe so, and I am aware that this is dangerously close to being political, but how America votes sends a message to the politicians as to the desires of the people. If one party builds their entire campaign on gun control, and loses, it shows how well-regarded that position is. It has happened before, where a party lost control completely for 8 years because of one piece of legislation. Maybe party affiliation isn't everything, but, at the moment, one party is talking about taking all of the guns, while the other isn't. The other isn't promising to leave them alone, either, but they definitely aren't swearing to take everything.

 

How does that happen? Taking all the guns? 'About 400 million guns in the US....??

 

One at a time...

 

Yes, it is that simple. It didn't used to be, but those days are in the past now. That is unfortunate but true.

 

Problem with that candidate is he’s simply a lackey for the NDC, and the “Five”.

 

Hmm.... I guess saying he's going to put Beto in charge of gun control means nothing? Both Biden and Beto want scary black guns confiscated. Remember "hell yes we're coming for your AR15"?

 

Compared to the alternative?

 

Color me old fashion, I support the party of my beliefs, accept the candidate regardless of their popularity. The 2nd is paramount but as it happens the GOP platform suits me. Charisma of the candidate doesn’t come into play. The sitting President isn’t charismatic I’ll agree and fence sitting conservatives may tip the balance.

 

Yes, sometimes is that simple.
I've been able to vote for over 3 decades and I have always voted for the most pro 2A candidate; I do not recall that ever being a D since 1990.
I was a teacher for many years, at the state level this can mean picking most pro 2A versus most pro teacher - I voted most pro 2A every time.
If the candidates are equal on the 2A then I will look at stance on other issues. Call it a one issue vote, but I see it (2A) as more than one issue.

 

A gun owner voting for Democrats is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

 

The two party system here in the US is a cancer eating the heart out of the country.

 

If you vote for Biden then you aint 2A.

Hope someone laughs at this.

 

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It is a mistake to blindly support any one party and give them untethered power. I support the positives of our current administration, but there should be accountability there too. If we as shooters don't hold pro gun politicians accountable for their actions they will be replaced whether we like it or not. And maybe with politicians who are not pro gun.

We enjoy far, far more gun rights today than at any other time in my life. Laws change, and always have. It wasn't the end of the world when Clinton pushed through the 1994 AWB. If anything it led to many laws giving gun owners more rights than ever before.

If Biden wins the sky isn't going to fall. One of the unintended consequences of the 1994 AWB was the huge number of weapons sold both during the ban and after it expired. In 1994 those type of weapons were quite rare. Today they are by far the most commonly sold. Any sort of similar ban would simply be impossible.

Realistically the only thing that I see would be tougher restrictions on who can purchase and own firearms. And there are a lot of folks out there who aren't responsible enough to own a firearm. It comes back to the accountability thing. We as gun owners need to be sure that we are holding ourselves accountable, or someone else will.

 

With regard to the last paragraph;
The issue is which group will we give the authority to determine who is and isn't responsible enough to own a firearm. I don't want the left making those decisions.

 

If you think, that if the Dems/left/commie/socialists (all the same in my book) gained power, they wouldnt go full bore for guns, you are a fool.

They will, hardcore, and while they were at it, they would add Justices to SCOTUS to counter the conservatives, so when any gun grabbing made it way to them...its a give me for them.

Beto, he was just one dumb enough to spill the beans.

Biden? He is an empty shell. He will be a figurehead, rubber stamp...nothing more.

Yes, other issues are in play too. As a reformed Democrat, I understand that. But, at least for me, all those issues are either against my beliefs, or not worth the damage giving the D party power.

Guns are their top priority, dont be fooled. Armed opposition must be eliminated before their real, true colors can be shown. It's far thinking generational planning here. Not by Biden and his crew (he cant remember yesterday, nevermind planning the next 40 years), but by those behind the curtains.

The 2nd Amendment is the prop that supports all the others...not the first, not any of the others. The 2nd gives us teeth. Pull those teeth, we are sheep.

Guns are THE issue. All other pale in comparison.
