(18,479 posts)You're part of the group that for the last 25+ years has worked to make owning the most popular type of rifle in the country illegal. This is the kind of work that builds brick wall around our party to keep out folks that are primarily RKBA voters or single issue voters. The thinking folks out there who've been voting Republican just over guns have had a few years to see the results of having the orange menace stamp his feet, prevent progress, spread poverty, create orphans and convince the world that the US is somewhere between a laughing stock and a sworn enemy. Some could vote BLUE next year.
I work as a consulting engineer. I've worked in the South, the Midwest, the Los Angeles area and a variety of places on the East Coast. Over half of the people I've worked with disfavor an AWB. These folks are not rednecks with an unfortunate ratio of teeth to tattoos. These are college educated professionals who design and certify everything from medical equipment to commercial aircraft. Some of these folks have concealed carry permits including a woman I work with now in the Philly area.
