An open invitation to Biden supporters who have long been opposed to the NRA

[True Dough]

57. Mayor Pete or any other Dem candidate

can express their support for gun ownership without opening the door to the NRA. Nobody even questioned Biden about the NRA specifically. He voluntarily made that statement during the debate and posted it on his Twitter account. Mistake!

Mayor Pete very likely knows some NRA members. He did active duty in the navy. He carried an M4 carbine and a pistol himself. But he's on the record as supporting universal background checks and banning bump stocks. That's smart politics. If he reached out to the NRA -- a truly vile organization -- I'd be disappointed enough to support another candidate. I can say that's a "red line" for me.

As for "calling out" other DUers, I did it without posting any usernames? Notice that? I invited those particular forum members to engage on discussion on the dichotomy between their unequivocal contempt for the NRA and their candidate's position that the NRA isn't so bad. That sort of dialogue is part of the reason I'm here. And I'm glad that, despite a number of alerts that were almost certainly filed after I created this thread, no jury has seen fit to hide any part of it.
