Incoming fire on me, but I figured why not start my posting with a bang.
I am a bit tired of the idea that Democrat and Gun owner / 2nd amendment believer / constitution supporter are antonyms. All members of congress swear to uphold the constitution, and all should. I am a democrat, though the party is traveling farther and farther from my ideals, though I will certainly say that the republican party isn't getting any closer to them, far from it. That aspect of my beliefs has nothing to do with my support for gun ownership, our right to carry, and the 2nd amendment.
To often on this board I see posts where gun owners are placed on one side and moonbat liberals are on the other. I guess if nothing else I am just trying to say that these dividing lines are false in my case, and seem to be in Reid's case as well.
Maybe forwarding the 2nd amendments clear intent would go better if, instead of continuing the false belief that this is an issue dividing the parties, instead treating it as an issue that all parties should be united under. I know that the democrats have traditionally been pro gun control and anti 2nd amendment freedom. Well hopefully me and some of my fellow moonbat but pro 2-A friends are signaling a change there. We can always hope.

Oh no Mr. Gringo! How could this be possible? Someone actually did some research??? But, but, but Harry is pro-2A - he even opened a gun range and the NRA really likes him bunches and bunches... Say it's isn't so Grin-go!
The fact remains that the NRA shills for those who mutually shill. Not much has changed. This is the same NRA that sports Tim Leatherman as a good guy and continues to do business with China, so they can push cheap crap on their members...Gym bag anyone?
To ERC: No one is claiming that the Republicans are the de facto party of the 2nd Amendment. However, one could easily argue that by in large, the Democrats are light years away from being even remotely a pro-2A Constitutional party. Their track record of picking and sometimes sledging away at our 2nd Amendment rights makes me scratch my head as to how anyone can even identify themselves as both a gun owner and a Democrat with a straight face...Perhaps in another thread we can pick apart your politics - I think you could possibly be surprised at how far away from a Democrat you may be...but what do I know?
While there are certainly some on here who trumpet the Republican party as the savior of the Second Amendment, there are some of us who are not so easily fooled. I submit just a couple examples for your review, or Republicans who in my book are guilty of aiding and abetting the bastardization of the Constitution:
Oh and one more....
