Gun Control & RKBA

(18,600 posts)is a good thing- at least when a 1% billionaire and his pals write checks backing your pet issue. Then you can turn a blind eye to how you just opposed them on seven other issues
I am sadly becoming convinced that for many (most?) gun control advocates they do not care at all about victims- as long as a gun is not involved. In the last week we have seen the "true progressives" refuse to support a woman's right to defend herself, support bringing guns to school, ignore a man who cannot use his arms egregiously charged with firearm possession, support a Surgeon General only because of a passing statement made about guns (they also admit he is inexperienced and underqualified medically) and of course the obligatory cheering of racist authoritarians.
If all that is "progressive' then I am glad to be whatever I am= pro-environment, true equality (social, economic and legal) for everyone, fair share taxation, quality public education, global unity through diplomacy and trade, economic reform, social safety net, and more- oh including respect for the entire bill of rights, people may own guns if they choose and if someone wants to listen to my phone calls, get a damn warrant like the 4th says.
