DEMOCRATS WILL FINALLY STOP LYING…
EMBRACING THEIR INNER GUN-GRABBER
Democrats Shed Fear of Gun Control in Momentous Shift Entering 2020 Election…
“Democratic presidential hopefuls are embracing gun control as the 2020 campaign accelerates, deepening the divide in U.S. politics between rural areas with a rich gun culture and urban and suburban areas where the mood has turned in favor of tougher laws.
Bolstered by shifting public sentiment, the candidates are increasingly championing gun limits including universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons. The shift follows high-profile mass shootings in Parkland, Florida, and Las Vegas, Nevada, and comes as the National Rifle Association’s political influence wanes.
Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders, who previously dismissed calls for tougher firearms restrictions, is now promising to “move aggressively” to combat gun violence, telling a crowd in Wisconsin this month that if he’s elected president, “people who should not have guns will not have guns.” Other top contenders — including California Senator Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and former Congressman Beto O’Rourke — are also running on toughening gun laws.
Democrats have long tread carefully on gun control and there still is risk for the party’s presidential candidates despite broad public support for firearms limits. The issue elicits intense sentiment among single-issue gun rights voters who reliably turn out in elections. That may come into play in three pivotal 2020 states with significant rural populations, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.”
