What about sarisataka Dec 2016 #3

Kirk lost. Illinois won. eom guillaumeb Jan 2017 #51

That doesn't change the fact sarisataka Jan 2017 #55

For some voters, unfortunately, there is only one issue. guillaumeb Jan 2017 #56

Single issue focus leads to sarisataka Jan 2017 #57

And it would help if certain Democratic politicians, Joe Manchin comes to mind, guillaumeb Jan 2017 #58

No, they don't ... In fact, quite the opposite DaleFromWPB Dec 2016 #4

If these people were once were Democrats but now are republicants Union Label Jan 2017 #23

Would you like them to become Democrats? discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #24

Some posters here, yagotme Jan 2017 #25

It's a good thing you're not the arbiter of who is and is not a Democrat. Abq_Sarah Dec 2016 #15

I couldn't have said it better discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #17

If you can't rebut this info., you're saying that you have to be a moron to be a Democrat. pablo_marmol Jan 2017 #34

Good point. Republcians always ignore the will of the people (ntxt) scscholar Jan 2017 #52

Americans DO NOT overwhelmingly support an AWB. aikoaiko Jan 2017 #79

DROP IT!!!!! Now!! DaleFromWPB Dec 2016 #2

My exact point is... discntnt_irny_srcsm Dec 2016 #5

Yes, 2nd the welcome, and let's drop the divisive plank. n/t yagotme Dec 2016 #12

Supporters of "assault weapon" bans would weep uncontrollably........ pablo_marmol Jan 2017 #33

California is out-of-step with Oregon and Washington, and is hurting Democrats nationally. pablo_marmol Jan 2017 #35

May as well ban/register ink. yagotme Jan 2017 #36

Drop the assault weapons ban.... ToolMaker Dec 2016 #13

Two more ideas that make no sense: discntnt_irny_srcsm Dec 2016 #14

The votes after 12 days discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #16

My guess would be yagotme Jan 2017 #18

Well.... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #19

I was trying to put myself in their shoes, yagotme Jan 2017 #20

You were more amusing than they would likely be. discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #21

Thanks! yagotme Jan 2017 #22

Not nearly enough zipplewrath Jan 2017 #26

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #28

Sorta zipplewrath Jan 2017 #44

The problem is that most "gun-control" laws... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #45

They can work zipplewrath Jan 2017 #46

Actually, gun controls laws don't work gejohnston Jan 2017 #47

Oh, yeah, they do zipplewrath Jan 2017 #48

not on the level that we do gejohnston Jan 2017 #60

Not exactly zipplewrath Jan 2017 #63

no it can't gejohnston Jan 2017 #67

"control" discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #49

Yes zipplewrath Jan 2017 #50

One point at a time discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #53

You left out the last line zipplewrath Jan 2017 #54

I think this cultural change will never happen discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #59

Just about everybody zipplewrath Jan 2017 #62

We, as a country, are far too quick to engage in war discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #64

In conflict zipplewrath Jan 2017 #65

We -- can -- probably -- be accused... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #68

And I rest my case zipplewrath Jan 2017 #81

You do realize that AR-15's and whatnot are common and legal in Canada and Europe, yes? benEzra Jan 2017 #69

I can't even come up with yagotme Jan 2017 #74

What they really need to get off the street are semi auto pistols Warpy Jan 2017 #27

With the exception of single action revolvers... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #29

I own one wheel gun. All the rest are semi-auto. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #30

I believe the point is, yagotme Jan 2017 #37

That's true, but the semi-auto is more efficient at that process making it more effective, SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #38

Mechanically, yes, yagotme Jan 2017 #39

I suppose, in the very strictest sense, it could be considered a semi-auto. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #40

Some that want to ban/restrict firearms here, yagotme Jan 2017 #41

some semi autos do, gejohnston Jan 2017 #42

Yes. A good example of that would be the Diamond Back DB9. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #43

My general definition of a semi-auto is a weapon that automatically loads the next round. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #72

Your definition, and mine, agree. yagotme Jan 2017 #73

And yet revolvers kill ten or twenty times as many people annually benEzra Jan 2017 #70

A revolver, by its very nature, is more accurate. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #71

The "no surprise" part is, yagotme Jan 2017 #75

Look up the Diamondback DB9 (9mm) and tell what's not very concealable about it. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #76

I believe you've misread my reply. yagotme Jan 2017 #77

Completely agree. I think we are both on the same page. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #78

Would have to handle it, yagotme Jan 2017 #80

"I'm not sure what you're driving at." pablo_marmol Jan 2017 #31

Uh.........yeah right. pablo_marmol Jan 2017 #32

Funny you meniton saturday night specials... virginia mountainman Jan 2017 #61

Don't forget the "armor piercing bullet" ban. yagotme Jan 2017 #66
