In reply to the discussion: It's very simple: If you want new gun control laws, you need the cooperation of legal gun owners. [View all]billh58
(6,640 posts)a long time ago Bubba, except for the "cold dead hands" DU Gungeoneers who are NOT representative of the American gun owners that I know. Contrary to the misinformation the NRA and its apologists would have us believe, American Gun Owners are not single-issue voters, and do not vote as a "gun rights" pro-Second Amendment block. They are as divided as the rest of us along Party lines, and over gun rights vs. gun control issues.
I would oppose Republican right-wingers on most issues including their belligerent opposition to ALL forms of gun control, and support Democratic voters on most issues, including the right to keep and bear arms with reasonable regulation. I believe (although its just a gut feeling) that the average Democratic gun owner would agree for the most part with the Brady Group and MAIG, including the need for gun registration.
