Reply #11: From a pro-Gun Democrat

[old mark]

I guess I'm on the other side on this.
I am a third generation Democrat, and have been a gun owner for nearly 40 years and fully intend to keep on being one.
There is as much, if not more, nonsense and absolute lying by the "gun control" advocacy groups an by all of the pro-gun groups combined.
They are, after all, in it for the money.
Philadelphia has a lot of violence because they don't enforce the laws they already have, and they have drug/gang problems that have been out of control for decades.IMO, a lot of that drug money goes to some people within the city government, but that's just my opinion.
I am not a member of the NRA, the Gun Owners of America or even the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, and I'm not really a hunter. I have a Pennsylvania License to Carry a Firearm, and carry one for self defence. FWIW, the county where I live has over 25,000 people with such licenses.
I didn't vote in your poll - there was no suitable choice for me.
Just my opinion - I was looking for another forum when I found this one and thought I'd make this my first post.
Have a great day.
