Since 1968, More Americans Have Died From Gunfire Than All U.S. Wars Combined

131. Actually, you are well to the right of Obama and the Dem platform on guns,

as are the rest of the gungeoneers. AWB is part of the party platform. As is universal background checks, which most of the gungeon is opposed to on "privacy" grounds or because they believe it is "de facto registration". And then there is the other gungeon talking point where UBC at the federal level is unconstitutional because of states rights. Yeah, truly idiotic, I know, but look at the gungeon archives, people in there actually believe this stuff. Oh, and don't forget the Fast and Furious conspiracy theories...

Not to mention the fact that the Dem platform, on guns at least (and some other issues), is pretty centrist, well to the right of what the Democratic base is in favor of. Despite not being part of the platform, gun registration polls over 50% with the general population, and higher than that among Dems.

At one point Obama was officially opposed to gay marriage. Wouldn't it be funny if some anti-gay right-wingers tried to claim that their views were in line with the Democratic mainstream simply because Obama agreed with them that gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married?

I don't know if Obama was ever actually opposed to gay marriage, or whether that was a political calculation. Likewise, I don't know if Obama actually believes the Scalia interpretation of the second amendment, or if he just doesn't want to alienate gun nuts. But to claim that somehow the gungeon views are in line with the Democratic party simply because of that is beyond silly.
