In reply to the discussion: Why we lost the gun debate in the Senate, and why we'll keep losing it. [View all]premium
(3,731 posts)38. And don't forget Bloomberg with his dumbass gun control ad
in those 13 pro gun states.

If you watch it, you can see that this idiot has the shotgun pointed in an unsafe manner,
his finger is on the trigger,
and the slide isn't open, so who the hell knows it there's round chambered.
When you have some moron talking about background checks while he's violating just about firearm safety rule, then it kind of takes away from the message.
Those poorly crafted ads didn't go over too well in the states they ran in.

A motivated minority is having an impact, but that is how the Senate was designed.

As a progressive democrat I'm tired of being blamed when my warnings go unheeded.

The purpose of this post is not to revisit Gun Control in this Congress, or the next.

If you are expecting our politicians to be knowledgeable you might as well give up now

These are irrational people who think they need to strap a gun or two on to venture out.
