Is Warren pro-gun and anti-gun control? BainsBane May 2014 #113

How many elected Dems, period, are explicitly anti-gun control? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #191

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Brainstormy May 2014 #67

I agree. Hopefully this is just a way for her to introduce what she does find acceptable for gun okaawhatever May 2014 #13

Well, any progressive stance will rile up the conservative base. DanTex May 2014 #16

It's not about being for or against gun control so much as defining where you stand. I think Hillary okaawhatever May 2014 #33

She just needs to be specific hack89 May 2014 #64
