And is your preferred side willing to take the political hit of going after gun ownership? It will likely be akin to what Republicans have had to deal with post-Roe.

Given that the majority of the country supports some kind of gun control, at minimum, we shouldn’t have any issues crafting some policy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect most of the gun fanatics here would shoot themselves in the head before voting D anyway. Either way, no great consequence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to lib fascism, like their desire to ban guns and gas stoves, this poll isn’t going as well as they expected either Lol no one even knows DeSantis yet. But mom and dad have been doing a lot of bill paying, gas paying, and grocery buying the last year. It’s finally sinking in. I think 2022 was too quick to see the bloodbath. They faked the end of Covid and straight to Ukraine so fast nothing could set in. Edited May 7, 2023 by Big Blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your poll is also a pretty bit outlier per the 538 averages. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/ 2 hours ago, Chris farley said: Mirror Both are about guns.

nucci Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 ban children's books, ban medical care for women, ban curriculum about black history, ban anything to do with gay people.....can't do anything about guns. I know a lot of gun owners and law enforcement. All are for better laws and restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you won’t have nearly as many killings because guns are way more effective at killing people than most anything else available 2. It’s the GOP who continue to oppose or cut mental health spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think everyone believes mental health is a huge issue. I would be for shifting significant about of public funds to mental health. Dems are against doing that.

What's your proposal for a mental red flag law Since my attempt at humor seemed to fly right over your head, let me try again. I don't think you or I should be able to get a gun. Our political anger appears to be too high! Edited May 7, 2023 by Pokebball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
