278. nutty thinking on shall issue

donP: ... thanks to Dems we now have 50 state concealed carry ... You do know that Dems in every state provided support for the concealed carry wave of legislation right?

That's speciously nutty thinking, as if the straw that broke camels back is on a par with the logs it was carrying. And only around 41 states have shall issue, ~8 or 9 still have 'may issue' which is considered 'guncontrol' & approx. 90 million people live in those 9 states for about 30% of the population still has 'may issue' gun control. Duh, donP fails the concealed carry test. Or rather he misrepresents it.
Overall, public opinion (& especially democrats by large margins) opposed shall issue in every single state prior to around 2000, but were overpowered by republican legislatures which rammed thru shall issue ccw once they got in charge (often by gerrymandering). Not one state prior to 2000 (& beyond probably) polled even a simple majority for shall issue, iow THEY DID NOT WANT SHALL ISSUE, despite the blathering BS from donP.

donP: Here in Illinois Dems wrote and sponsored the entire "shall issue" concealed carry bill.

Here the deceptive donP fails to note that Illinois dems were end played into supporting shall issue AGAINST THEIR WILLS after 2010 McDonald ruling, or else have to accept some other pro gun legislation along with it, maybe open carry iirc.

donP: The problem for people like you is your version of "sensible" doesn't match up with how the rest of the world defines that term.

The rest of the world? The rest of the world prefers gun control by a large margin, what an idiotic thing to say. The predominance of the rest of the world thinks America's gun policy makes for ugly americans, like you.
