Gun Control & RKBA

(295 posts)There is no plausible reason to think it didn't get more votes because it didn't enforce background checks enough.
A coastal state with a7-1 spending advantage shows beyond any reasonable doubt that 60-40 is the ceiling.
Care to guess what it can get in the battleground states?
If you remember, Prop 8 was passed & it didn't have a 7-1 spending advantage.
I594 proved that "90% support background checks" is utter bullshit & it will be proven to be utterly enforceable..on the statehouse steps, no less.
Couple that with the disasters of 2014, 1994 & Gore losing his home state (and ultimately the Presidency) in 2000 and I'm very confident going forward that the party has-once again- learned their lesson.
The GOP is a southern party. The Democratic Party is a coastal party. The party that manages to not alienate the Midwest & Mountain West is the national party.
Gun Control alienates the mid & mountain west, as proven in 1994, 2000 & 2014.
This is the lesson.
This lesson doesn't include registration in any way, shape or form.
