MN. We have a group of primarily urban area liberal politicians trying. The citizen response has put a real damper on their attempt. Our rural Dem politicians realize this could be a career stopper. Our governor is a hunter and know guns. We have elections coming up soon enough that voters will remember names.
Your looking at a generation that is unfamiliar with guns, especially in urban areas. If you don't know guns, haven't been exposed and trained, haven't broken a clay pigeon or put a hole in a tin can, it's easy to grow up afraid of guns. You watch a guy with a 9mm Glock shoot a man at half a mile, lift him off his feet and throw him into a wall 5 ft up the wall, all done from the hip, one shot, it is not hard to be afraid. You watch the "man with no name" draw and shoot 5 men with 5 shots and
all 5 drop dead, don't even kick', its easy to develop some fear. There are a lot of liberals who own guns and carry and hunt and collect. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that just don't know and really don't want to know. And their number is growing. Politicians seem to be the urgent problem. They see a cause, a way to make a name for themselves.
Our politicians didn't notice that when Canada implemented their gun control laws, first, many Canadians just ignored them, and second, grass roots organizations got together and replaced some politicians. Canada is now backing off some of the controls, admitting the laws were ineffective.
