Interesting article.
Interesting article.
That sounds like chicago mentality.
The home of the strictest gun laws perhaps in the nation.
The home of the highest crime level in the nation.
Home of the most corrupt politicians in the nation.
Home of the highest poverty in the nation.
...All this while draining the rest of thr state of its liberty and money.
Is it any surprise that chicago has been led by Democrats for generations?
Look at Baltimore as well. Baltimore school district is busing kids to shill for gun restrictions, while ironically, the state of Maryland has just about the entire leftist gun control wish list already. Oh, and Baltimore also has the second highest per capita murder rate in the nation. TWICE that of Chicago.

Interesting article, I saw a Democratic representative from Ohio, explaining how they won the race in Pennsylvania with a candidate who wasn't on board with the standard positions. The commentator ask if the Democrats would accept progun candidates in the party. Said representative fell apart in his answer and started to say that they need candidates who would reach out to hunters but will be in line with AWBs, etc. Same old 'sportsmen' line. Unfortunately, lot of supposed progun politicans use the same talking point! I'm a hunter, blah, blah.
Research shows that the current energy in the gun markets is self-defense.

The antis lied about it for decades because they knew if they told the truth they would get nowhere, but in the last couple of decades they have have let it slip a few times as they thought they had enough traction to actually tell the truth and still get what they want.Democrats want no guns at all, but lack the courage to say so
Agreed, it's the antis our fight is with. A lot of them just happen to be Democrats, but many are Republicans as well. There are more issues out there than guns.Baloney.
Some people who are registered Democrats probably would like to get rid of all guns entirely, but the views of Democrats on any issue is so diverse that any time you say something like "[All] Democrats want..." you are almost certainly wrong.

It's so ironic that those who speak the loudest on the banning of guns all have armed security details; and it would be a safe bet that they won't give up their armed security.
Exactly, the Anti 2A folks have a strong element in the party, but it isn't universal. The divisions within both political parties are real and something we need to work to use to protect the 2A.
I couldn't tell for sure which direction the author was leaning. I consider that to be a good thing. I consider it responsible journalism. So, the point is, either ban all guns, and leave the law-abiding citizens defenseless, while giving the government the onus to enforce it; or ban none, because feature bans will not have a noticeable impact on gun violence.
I also liked how the Pro2A camp is shown to have courage and facts, though, again, I couldn't tell if the author was being facetious. Regardless, a fence-sitter reading this might have to pause and consider the facts.
