Most recently, for example, many state police orgs have come out against permitless carry.

But the "Back the Blue" GOP state legislatures and GOP governors take their marching orders from the gun industry, and have ignored the cops.

The Democrats should make the fact that the GOP has been responsible for putting guns in criminals' hands a major campaign issue all around the nation in every campaign, but the gutless people at the top shaping Democratic strategy have quashed that.

Yes but I have an idea that might be easier. AndyS May 2023 #8

A ban was in effect from 1994-04. brush May 2023 #11

Oh, it's doable. AndyS May 2023 #12
