Colorado Democrats: Governmental Tyranny

[Bailey Guns]

I am ashamed to be a Democrat (don't hate me I am on the side of the 2nd amendment). There is no reason that true Democratic ideals are incompatible with 2nd amendment rights. I will not be voting for any of these democrats that are responsible for this ever again. I am ashamed that the current liberal extreemests claim to be democrats. They are not, a true democrat believes in a level playing field, and what is more of an equalizer than an gun!

You cannot possibly vote for democrats in today's society and be pro-gun:

Firearms. We recognize that the individual right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans' Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation. We understand the terrible consequences of gun violence; it serves as a reminder that life is fragile, and our time here is limited and precious. We believe in an honest, open national conversation about firearms. We can focus on effective enforcement of existing laws, especially strengthening our background check system, and we can work together to enact commonsense improvements—like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole—so that guns do not fall into the hands of those irresponsible, law-breaking few.

The above quote is taken directly from the Democrat Party Platform website. If you support a party or candidate that supports that, you ARE NOT pro-gun. Owning a gun does not make you pro-gun.

I'd definitely call myself a classical liberal. But that's very far removed from the democrat party of the last thirty or forty years.

How did you vote?

How did you vote?

It doesn't matter. What matters is the understanding of what is happening now is the important part. All of our voices speaking for the same thing, preserving the Constitution and our 2A rights. We have all made our mistakes, as long as we learn from them is all that matters.

Unfortunately, that just isn't true. That's nothing more than a platitude.

For starters the democrat party hasn't made it a secret they're for more gun control. If someone voted democrat that wasn't a "mistake". It was a conscious choice to vote against gun rights. Now, regardless of the fact that "all of our voices (are) speaking for the same thing", it's obvious those democrats who were voted into office don't care what we're saying. At all. As much as I wanted to believe the speeches, emails, calls, faxes, letters and the tremendous outpouring of opposition to the democrat anti-gun bills would make a difference, their minds were made up. Period.

The Democrat party is being led by a person who was raised by both Marxist & Muslim families; how could a person make a mistake and vote for these people? After what happened in '94, there is no mistake in voting for a Democrat; they are gun grabbing sacks of shit that will destroy your freedoms as fast as they can. It does not matter whether one or two are any good or not; as a collective, this is what happens.

Guys instead of slapping strm_trpr up side the head here for his past, lets just welcome him to the fold and pat him on the back for waking up.

strm_trpr, what you think were "true Democrat ideals" pretty much died with JFK, your former party has been run by the hard left since LBJ took the party over and created the welfare state and it's got progressively worse (pun intended) every Dem administration since then (unfortunately what many of us consider "true Republican ideals" seems to have been born with and died with Reagan).

I was thinking the same thing, someone needs to smack this guy but that doesn't accomplish anything.

They are no longer democrats, they are no longer liberals, they are Progressives, plain and simple. 100 years since Theodore and Wilson turned this country down a dark path and now we will spend the next 100 trying to get out.

[Teufelhund]

It just got real.
