I think it is unreasonable to toss away pro-RKBA Democrats as "useless."
I agree. But I also think that's it's delusional to expect any Statist, blue or red, to keep the faith when the chips are really down. They will revert to their Statist roots. They cannot help themselves. Never count on a Statist to be there when you really need them, and you'll be disappointed far less.
My worldview is that the Repub statists are generally, but not always, willing to support the the RKBA and that the Dem statists are generally, but not always, not willing to support the RKBA. Both sides have statists that cannot be trusted, but the Dem statists tend to fall the wrong way on the whole RKBA issue.
Gang, here's the missing piece in this discussion so far - judicial appointments.
We have
Heller only by a slim majority. We cannot thank the Donkeys for that decision, by any margin. When the next SCOTUS nomination comes up, how many 'pro-gun' Dem CongressCritters are going to be in a position to assist and support a pro-gun nominee?
Zero.
They will support the nominee that
their party endorses, and their own personal views will be worthless. And that tells me that until the Dems take gun control out of their party plank, they MUST be considered dangerous as heck when viewed as a voting bloc.
