Who ARE the gun-friendly Democrats?

[Cledus J. Crabb]

A list would serve all of us when the time comes to give members of the General Court a call with either Kudos or Jeers.
There are a few Dems on our side..............

I've never seen so many "D" designations in my life. [shock]

A little bit of number crunching later:

Republicans:
13 A+
7 A
1 F (Frank Israel Smizik)

Democrats:
21 A+
24 A
15 B
18 C
30 D
33 F

Which underscores a point made in a previous thread: not all Democrats are gun-grabbers but almost every gun-grabber is a Democrat.

More to the point, the group of gun-friendly politicians are mostly (70%) Democrats. If those Dems write off gun-owners are a lost cause (since we consider them all gun-grabbers) then things look even more grim for gun owners in this state.

lot more high grades for Dems than I thought. Good link, thanks.

It's also a lot more than you would have seen 5-10 years ago.

If I did my math correctly

It comes to a GPA of 2.2 for the bunch. That's a C-
That's not terrible I guess. Not great either.

Surprising, isn't it?

I wonder how many libertarians (are they still a party in MA?) are gun grabbers versus how many are not. Are there even any in office?

I believe that the only ones are in some local offices. Being a libertarian gun-grabber is something like being a Roman Catholic athiest ... you can be one or the other, but not both, regardless of what you might claim.

I always thought that I had a horrible rep but was talking to a few gun buddies and found out that my state rep was pro gun and when I checked he got an A+ from GOAL and actually gets endorsments from them.
