But, but, 90% of Americans support Universal Background Checks...NOT!

15. No need to declare victory.

I respect your posts and generally enjoy reading them. I pointed out a factual error and rather than correct the issue you decided to change the subject.

I agree with you about Comey. As far as my NRA membership goes, NRA members have a long history of supporting Democrats. I've personally supported Clinton campaign efforts for over three decades. Her loss is likely to be terrible for the firearms industry in terms of revenues and fundraising efforts in support of 2A issues. I can tell you that back in '94, the least of our concerns was the AWB. The AWB was a godsend for fundraising. Back in those days and earlier draconian gun control had bipartisan support, the industry was being choked by dozens of costly lawsuits, over half the country had "may issue" or no issue laws, localities had broad gun bans, we were eight years past the Hughes Amendment, and their was literally no relief in sight. You had guys like Bill Ruger advocating magazine capacity restrictions (for profit seeking reasons, imo). Heller was over a decade away. Bush Sr. and Clinton had decimated the import business. IT. WAS. BLEAK.

Why do I bring all that up? Because Democrats have been a big part of preserving our rights. Back in the old days over 60 Democratic reps voted against the AWB, and nine Democratic Senators voted against it. I'd like to see us finally cast aside notions of additional gun control and repeal as much of it as we can.
