Reply #56: Careful now.......

You might bust somebody's bubble by talking sense. To the dismay of the more doctrinaire anti-gun the Democratic candidates pretty much shut up about guns unless they were pro-gun. The NRA endorsed a record number of pro-gun Democrat incumbents, which had they ALL won would have had made things less morose Wednesday morning.

For better or worse, guns weren't nearly the issue this election cycle they were in 1994. That President Clinton and the Democratic Congress were seen as having forced an unpopular measure down people's throats and the anti-gun groups were perceived to be gloating over it energized a lot of voters to take revenge, the best way they can, at the ballot box.

This cycle, the anti incumbent fervor cost a lot of Democrats their jobs only because as the majority there were more of them to vote against.

It is clear the OP passionately hates the NRA, but they are not responsible for every loss in the election, the earthquake in Haiti, the volcano in Indonesia or the extinction of the dinosaurs.
