Democrats Embrace Gun Control in 2018 to Takeover the House

[Steal2B]

As the Democrats shift to the left on a number of issues from health care to immigration, they’ve already gone all in on one of the most contentious issues around -- gun control.

It should be noted, high on their target list and spending are key pro gun New York representatives in upstate districts.

Dem candidates embrace gun control in campaign for House takeover

Does this mean they foresee a rash of school shootings or something?
Seems odd to put that out there when it's never been a winning strategy.

Sure! like next month before the midterms...

1) The DNC candidates are getting unprecedented and substaintial funding from, Soros, Bloomberg, Everytown, Mom's Demand Action, and Gabby Gifford Goons, that absolutely dwarfs the financial resources of pro-gun groups (essentially the NRA).

2) The DNC and anti-gun lobbies, Political Action Committees, and 501 (c) (3)s are strategically seizing on new sentiment, by their own admission, to capitalize on the MSM coverage of Parkland and any subsequent pre election tragedies that may occur.

Accordingly, Thirty-eight of the 59 Democrats backed by the DNC's "Red-to-Blue" campaign are targeting freshman or vulnerable purple Republican districts and are aggressively supporting gun restrictions in their official platforms.

I think they overplayed their hand with the shootings. Even the liberals I see a work don't seem to care anymore when one happens. It's change the channel and turn on ESPN. It's become common, boring, and numb.

To be quite honest, I don't care anymore.

At the end of the day, what I'm interested in seeing the shake out of is the case for distributing firearms files for 3D printed firearms. If that winds up being upheld to be legal to do, then it makes the gun control argument irrelevant. Then it shifts the conversation from:

"Why should anyone have a firearm?"

to:

"It's impossible to prevent people from building a firearm, criminals included, with how our freedoms work. Why are we gimping law abiding citizens with restrictions that will only apply to them?"

The last question is still relevant today, it just exacerbates it in the public eye. It makes their stance on control look more purposely reckless than it is in any way thoughtful.

How'd that work out in '94 nitwits?

How many more shootings before election day?

Voters don't give a shit about "Gun Control"... But it's a good hot button topic to keep stoked while politicians avoid answering questions about real wages and job opportunities, savings and retirement... The # of Representatives and Senators who are multimillionaires is staggering, and quite frankly, is every day becoming further removed from the common issues of their constituents. Unfortunately their constituents mostly have their heads up their collective asses! And most don't fucking vote anyways. But deflection is best served hot! And they will move their lips with sounds coming out that have no relation to their actions... They are all corrupt, every single one of them! You can make $100,000.00 these days and still not be able to afford vacation. But somehow or another, a multimillionaire is going to tell me they can relate? Relate to what? Are they going to let me live in their gated community for a while? Have their driver take me to/fro work for a while? Have their live in maid work for me? And maybe, just maybe, I could get a taste of those medical benefits they have for life!

Wanna embrace "Gun Control" well good, come try and embrace mine! Let's see how that works out! Fuck them all!

I think there will be at least one or two false flag mass shootings just prior to the elections so that the Democrats can ride a wave of anti gun emotion into office.
