It’s a silly irrational fear. I and almost every dem I know owns guns. There is no appetite for any serious gun grabbing outside some niche sjws. Mental health checks and delays and shit is the only argument. It’s not the gay marriage or transgendered issue. That’s relatively new issue where people look at emerging science and may change their mind. There are no amount of school shootings or anything else that will make anyone give up their guns when there is simply too many out there to ever think it even possible to confiscate them, particularly from criminals. This shit is more like a car show where people get off on showing off their guns.
You may feel this way, but seriously, you should talk to some more non-SJW Democrats about this (especially after a school shooting), and find out their true feelings on this. You might be surprised. Maybe Democrats in Ohio are pro-gun, but on the coast, it's become very mainstream for Democrats to support full gun control. It's no longer just an extreme left position.
BTW, Governor Northam is absolutely getting killed on Twitter over this matter. Go look. Every single tweet in response to him that I read was negative, and I went through hundreds.
The blackface white governor bitching about "white supremacy" already isn't a good look, but he appeared especially foolish when this so-called white power event ended up being very black/gay/trans friendly. Indeed, the gun rights crowd is happy to have allies wherever they find them. Almost all of them support a trans person arming himself to fend off attackers. The left and much of the mainstream media simply has a poor understanding of what makes the right -- and by extension subground within the right -- tick.
They love to paint any right-wing, gun-loving group as bigoted white supremacists, like they would a villain in a bad TV drama. However, life is far more complicated than that. The gun rights crowd has the view of, "We feel everyone has a right to bear arms for self defense, and it's always a good thing when someone under attack uses their guns to save their own lives." They don't see color, sexual preference, or gender identity in this context. If you want a gun to defend yourself, they support you.
So when this rally went down, the media immediately jumped and claimed it was about white supremacy, and that it was also going to be incredibly violent because of all the guns present. They ended up looking foolish when there was zero violence and when everyone supporting the cause was treated lovingly, even among different races, sexual preferences, or gender identities.
There has long been an attempt by the media to dehumanize right wing groups, casting them as evil, ignorant, bigoted, and desperate to hold onto the white patriarchy. When gatherings such as this prove such simplistic characterizations to be naive and ill-conceived, the left ends up looking out-of-touch and hyper-biased.
I thought after the defeat in 2016, the media and the left would have learned to stop doing things like this, but they haven't. Instead, it's more of the same.
Trump is winning largely because nobody is adjusting to him properly. Instead, his opponents keep doubling down on their incorrect tactics.
This Guy explains it perfectly! Republican or Democrat with any common sense will agree.
Let's stop the madness the Left wingers with trump derangement syndrome from continuing to take away our Gun Rights away.
Fuck you. Idiots come in all shades. This guy should have prepared better
because he failed. The worst thing you can do is let Joe Public decide what
weapons are available.
The war on drugs fuels, fosters, crime and
violence. You're not out to hurt anyone but you're deemed dangerous to
society if you want to get high.
So the now "criminal user" needs a connection and people
just line up to help out. Oh, they are called dealers/traffickers.
Turns out that's a profitable venture. High risk, high reward, high potential
to be taken down by force whether by the law or your gun toting gang/neighbor
This is bad enough but add in some mentally deranged fucks in who want
take a classroom out with them as they go and you've got trouble
Who's more dangerous than someone with nothing to lose and access
to weaponry that empowers them?
