if a Democratic candidate is not antigun enough to suit you:

If you cannot in good conscience avoid working against (or at least remain silent about) a progun
Democrat that's running for office in a general election, this is not the message board for you. This is Democratic Underground, not Antigun Underground

You are perfectly free to feel as you feel and act as you see fit, on your own time.

However,if you should advocate acting against a Democrat in a general election here, you will be alerted on
as that is a TOS violation.

(Note: I modified that to make it clear I am talking about general elections, not Democratic primaries)

Why is he only focusing on the 4 Democrats? What of the GOP who voted that way? Wazzup? freshwest Jun 2013 #6

I believe he is focusing on Republicans as well BainsBane Jun 2013 #7

That's great, then. Get the ball rolling again. n/t freshwest Jun 2013 #8

This can help transform the party. Good on him, even if he seems to be a one issue guy - sanity. freshwest Jun 2013 #11

Thanks. We never hear anything good about him, but he's so anti-NRA. He should get props for that. freshwest Jun 2013 #30

Bloomberg backed Scott Brown over Elizabeth Warren in the Mass primary. Cha Jun 2013 #25

That was a bad move BainsBane Jun 2013 #26

Exactly. Me thinks if Brown had gotten Cha Jun 2013 #27

I suspect you were wrong. He did that because at the time, Brown said he was FOR major gun control graham4anything Jun 2013 #31

he had already backed Brown, long before Warren gave an answer on guns, or even entered the race. graham4anything Jun 2013 #32

Elizabeth Warren won the Dem Primary on June 2, 2012 Cha Jun 2013 #34

100% wrong reading. Better the democratic candidates get rid of guns. Wellness rules. Guns don't. graham4anything Jun 2013 #37

I read it correctly pintobean Jun 2013 #39

The NRA would love it if those against guns would go away. graham4anything Jun 2013 #40
