It's a gun discussion forum that I found on the internet, that is dominated by the right wing nuts of the NRA. Serious discussion of gun rights, and the position of the Democratic party with regard to gun ownership are nearly IMPOSSIBLE in this forum, and it's gotten worse since the NRA's big victory on November 2.
Volumes could be written about the tactics used by the right wingers to obfuscate the issue. Rather than allow any serious discussion on guns to move forward, they are FOREVER trying to suffocate the Democrats' arguments with an endless string of strawmen, red herrings, and trips down trails that lead to nowhere...
I personally believe in regulated gun ownership in this country. I also believe that tighter regulation of guns can help keep them out of the hands of the murders, rapists, and robbers.
Even that last paragraph would draw accusations that I don't support/understand the Constitution, freedom, or the basic principles that America was founded upon. (AS IF!)
I would like to see more participation by Democrats in the debate about gun ownership. Most of the "discussion" to date has been between the loudmouths in the NRA, and the Democrats that they wish to silence. You can help make America a better place by joining this discussion, and lending your voice and ideas.
Please join me and millions of other Democrats in trying to bring a reasonable coherent mindset to this discussion, so that we can stop letting the right wingers in the NRA silence us with their incessant gibberish.
Before you wade into the website, I suggest that you bring your hipwaders, and a barf bucket. There's a lot of crap in there, and it's going to take a lot of effort on the part of us Democrats to bring some sense to this discussion. Thank you for your help! Lefty.
