But the phenomenon has been with us since Al Gore, and no appreciable change has been made by the Beltway Democrats and old-line MSM for going on 20 years. This nexus WILL persist unless directly challenged. The persistent culture war on gun-owners allows "moralistic" progressives to use the same "N" and "C" word approach of the trumpers on millions of gun-owning Americans without (they seem to think) consequence. They are willing to cling to this approach and refuse to see the actual consequences.

BE ASSURED, fellow Democrats, the rhetoric about gun control, here and elsewhere, is closely followed and inculcated into Republican/FR politics! We ain't on land lines anymore.
