You on the other hand support a position taken by the most conservative members of the Republican Senate delegation, Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell and 50 other Republican Senators. You are also supporting the position taken by Macho Rubio, Rand Paul, and Mike Huckabee and nearly all of the Republican candidates for the Republican nomination.
These are people have again and again supported and even voted for measures which violated people's rights under the Constitution using fear as their excuse. In other words they are cowards!
So let's not play stupid games and pretend these people are more concerned about individual rights than upholding the NRA's golden rule - "no more gun legislation no mater how reasonable". They are scared of the NRA and for that they are again cowards. They are also cowards because they have proven that they don't care about individual rights, but they do care more about safe guarding their political careers than protecting the American people.
You need to quit deceiving yourself and everyone else as well. I think that it is more than fair to judge someone by the company they keep. I find myself in good company, you - not so much. You're simply repeating conservative Republican talking points of the people you are supporting.
If you want to proclaim your support of some of the most conservative politicians in this country here on DU - by all means please proceed to ruin your credibility on this board.
