Reply #471: And you've got the gun lobby's lies to thank for "pensions being eliminate [View All]

You my friend are absolutely correct! But the question we must ask ourselves is by being the party of gun control and having the NRA working against us to the point that we are in almost in a permanent minority. Would it be better to lay this issue down and try to regain the thin margin to win and work on the other issues? Or is gun control so important to the party that we should cling to it even though it means we won't get any other parts of our agenda through?

I can't see us abandoining abortion rights. That has to do with a womans constitutional rights.

If it was me I'd have rather seen the majority of the Dems voting NOT to authorize Bush to go to war in Iraq rather than voting to restrict another thing the individual can do. But they don't have the balls to stand up to that? But they have the balls to pass NAFTA and gun control?
