I don't think many people have that as thier highest priority. It's not like the GOP can use it to attack the Dems, since Trump has restricted the 2nd Amendment more than Obama ever did as President. Even the NRA stopped pushing the fear of gun control, since they have gone full ethno-nationalist in their delivery.

Of course. Trump can win again.

Yes, it's great watching you prove your hypocrisy by backing a guy who is against the 2nd Amendment.

Let's put it this way: Gun control is nowhere near as important to Democrats as free access to guns is to Republicans. This is not a hill to die on.

Because the gun control debate is a priority of neither side of the political spectrum. It's a stalking horse for Congressional races. Originally Posted by freefolk
