Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Bloomberg Spends $764,232.35 Buying Oregon Background Check Bill [View all]sarisataka
(22,080 posts)72. Democrats were trying
        To keep control of the Senate; Bloomberg worked personally and though his organizations against that. 
Well ladeedah
They were in red states and it would be a hard seat to hold.
 
  
That tells me all I need to know. You do know what "single issue" means?
 I haven't seen you, or any other strict gun control proponent say "Yes, I'd rather have a pro-gun Democrat in Congress rather than give up the seat to a Republican. I have seen people say "So what, we don't need those kind of Democrats"
Your position on the importance of electing and keeping Democrats in office makes the rest of your post as relevant (and eloquent) as Vogon poetry.
