Reply #76: I'm a Democrat... [View All]

... and I own 5 firearms. While in a perfect world, there would be few if any handguns - that's not the world we live in.

There was a time that I was for gun control, but that was a while back. I support background-check laws, and not much else. Even the "assault-weapons" ban is nothing more than an joke if you examine its actual effect.

There are a few issues that I think will always be wedges. Reproductive rights for example. I'm not willing to waver on that right under any circumstance. But guns should not be a wedge issue, first because legislatively there is essentially no rememdy to the "problem" and second because most folks have figured out that these little piecemeal regulations against gun rights have accomplished jack shit except for losing Dem votes.
