    You’re literally stating that gun owners are usually racist white males…the fuck? There are way more gun owners now than ever and the diversity is no longer the minority.

      I don’t think that’s what they mean, they mean that the people who are super hardcore gun rights people would never vote democrat regardless of the democrats stance on gun rights, because in addition to being super hardcore gun rights people, they’re super hardcore anti-all-other-rights people, also known as republicans. Certainly not all of them, no absolutes etc, but the vast majority. People who own guns != gun nuts.

        I’m hard core pro2a and will be voting blue this year. I’m a no regulation guy who wants our politicians to fix our society via social safety nets and reform vs prohibition style legislation…there is a lot more of us now than ever

          Yes! You’re not the kind of person who they were talking about. You’re the gun owner but not gun nut kind

            Yet you put us all in the same gun nut box earlier in this thread…

            I’ll most likely vote a straight blue ticket because I agree with most of the Dems platforms except in the issues of gun control. I also can’t stand Trump or his facism and want to see it die.

            But I’ll never support Democrats unless they moderate their stance on 2A. I may vote Republican next mid term election to prevent Dems from getting enough votes in the Senate and House to enact anti 2A legislation.

              I just tried to provide my interpretation of what they were saying, I didn’t and am not putting… forget it you don’t want to understand what I’m trying to say so I’m not going to bother trying to explain further.
