(14,912 posts)to your local polling place and unregister as a Democrat, then join a 3rd party or form your own Party.
The Democratic Party Platform SUPPORTS the 2nd Amendment, as do a majority of Democrats as your own poll here shows. I'm guessing it didn't turn out quite like you expected it to, did it? Don't worry though, it's happened to just about all of us at one time or another.
I live in the South, and have to put up with a lot of South bashing on here. Quite honestly though, it's "Dems" like YOU who keep people voting against their own best interests. It's hard for people like ME to talk sense into people who, for generations, have had it drilled into their brains that "Demoncrats wanna take away my guns!" I can show them where the Party Platform SUPPORTS the 2nd Amendment & then they see a post like yours. YOU are not part of the solution, you're part of the PROBLEM.
Many, MANY rural, poor Southerners depend on hunting as a means to help put food on their tables and feed their families. To them, YOU are threatening their way of survival and their very existence.
Here's a little advice to the "gun grabbers" (I suppose I'm allowed to call them that, since they have their little monickers such as "gun nuts" & "gun humpers" : The next time you want to blame "ignorant Southerners" for why we can't elect Democrats in the "red states" or in the South, take a good long look in the mirror first, then notice when you have that ONE finger pointing at us, you have THREE fingers pointing back at yourself.
Let that sink in for a little while....
Peace,
