(18,600 posts)I am in favor of reasonable control while respecting rights but take no joy in the results of this election.
Despite the accusations of celebration, pointing out gun control is a loosing issue was simply a statement of fact. Only one side is able to motivate their base. Now CO is faced with increased Repub strength when the legislature moves on to these issues that are more important to the electorate.
Yet rather than face reality, some will rail against the NRA (though their funds were matched by Bloomberg- as if he is better) make wild claims of shenanigans and work to keep alienating a good sized, highly motivated voting block that is already a Republican majority and distrustful of Democrats.
Some will still say this is a 'victory'. I can do without this kind of victory.
