beeevul: Does that sound like the actions of a group that claims not to be anti-gun?
And then theres this:
"Almost a year ago, in the aftermath of the shootings in Newtown, Conn., a number of entertainment industry activists decried a vote that prevented the Senate from moving forward background check legislation. Some vowed to withhold support from Democrats who voted No, including Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.).. The groups, including .... the Violence Prevention Coalition and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America,..
Beevul is not arguing the political aspect, he clearly labels this an 'anti gun' tactic; Beevul considers it 'anti-gun' for Shannon Watts as spokeswoman for 'Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense', to {support - edit} background checks. It leads to believe beevul is against background checks for all gun buyers.
Does beevul think about 95% of democrat gun owners are also 'ANTI GUN'? Does he think about 75% of ALL gun owners are ANTI GUN?
The solid MAJORITY of gun owners support bg checks; how can beevul claim it is ANTI GUN to support background checks? is beevul in the nra's back pocket along with rightwing republican legislators?
Quinnipiac: ... requiring background checks for all gun buyers?"

CBS: Do you favor or oppose a federal law requiring background checks on all potential gun buyers?" Favor Oppose Unsure/
7/29 - 8/2/20115 -- 88 10 1 .. Republicans -- 81 17 1 .. Independents - 89 9 2
Democrats 93 6 1
beevul: The rest of us are having a barbecue.
Who exactly do you consider 'the rest of us', beevul? As allegedly a democrat yourself, you fall into the 2% of dems who oppose bg checks, as per Quinnipiac, & 6% per cbs. You are in a very small minority in your opinion, & your barbecue might attract wayne lapierre-head & ted nugent types.
beevul, another thread, distressed at the passage of bg check legislation in oregon: Why does Bloomberg have to spend nearly ten times as much in lobbying money as the pro-gun lobby {to support background check legislation in Oregon}, if this is what the voters wanted in the first place?
