23 State Attorneys General To Attorney General Holder: "No Semi-Auto Ban"

[Nickle]

I'm kinda surprised Vermont is not on the list.

I'm not. Sorrell is a Liberal, very much so. Not appointed, elected.

I checked the affiliations of all of the AGs involved.

The following states that 'signed on' have Democrat AGs...
Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Nevada, Wyoming

Therefore...13 Republicans (57%), 10 Democrats (43%).


To my great surprise, this is fairly bipartisan, but as has been pointed out, it sure makes it look like all of the other 27 AGs favor an AWB, since they didn't sign the letter.

When are folks going to grasp that Gun Control is NOT a partisan issue.

When are folks going to grasp that Gun Control is NOT a partisan issue.

Understood, but any response (like a letter from AGs) will always carry more weight (with many who VOTE on candidates who can influence the future), if there is an 'air of bipartisanship'.

For example, NRA support for an issue is important, but doesn't tend to sway anyone in 'the middle', any more than the position of the Brady Campaign. The leanings of both sides are pretty well understood.

It's just a simple truth that a letter from AGs representing both parties 'carries more weight' with many voters who will be needed in the end to defeat a proposed AWB, than a letter from all Republican AGs (for example).

I view part of my mission as winning over others, and not just preaching to our choir.
