34-66 seems comparable to 3 to 8.

it's 27% vs. 33% pretty much

If dems actually want to do something about guns they should nut up and loving pass an amendment about it. At this point gun control is for the left what gay marriage is for the right, just some red meat to throw out to your dumb low info base voters. And it's always over some mass shooting, which is the dumbest thing to worry about when it comes to guns- it's like worrying about being the victim of a terrorist attack. It really shows how the people who pursue it the most aren't really interested in limited gun crime but instead thirsty to score cheap political points while accomplishing nothing.

Gun violence actual affects important Democratic blocs, whereas nobody is terroristing Alabama.

Right, which is why Alabamians should be in favor of gun control and not worried about Muslims

2009: Entire country gives a supermajority to Democrats since the republicans had been so bad the past 8 years. They could've done anything except touch guns and they'd be the power for the next decade or so. "Trust us, we won't touch guns as soon as we get into power" was the rallying cry to wary voters.

January 2010: National call to ban all guns from Democrats. They could've chosen to do anything with their supermajority, but they love banning guns and instantly chose to do it. They liked choosing to ban extended magazines that jam more, so that Serial Killers don't jam as often and kill more innocent children. Another cool thing they liked to do is ban ammo drums which jam often, so that movie theater shooters could shoot more Batman fans (the Tarantino fans of superhero movies). They also like continuing to ban automatic weapons that are already banned so that shooters are more accurate and less likely to jam while shooting up colleges. Their ideal thing that happens is a shooter waits several days before getting his perfectly sized not-black pistols with plenty of less-likely-to-jam 10 round magazines and can kill the most people such as Virginia Tech (which they love to keep as school gun free school zones. Ever notice how 100% of school shootings occur in, I don't know, Schools?)

February 2010: Republicans start to get elected again in special elections and recalls in historically blue states (including Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Colorado). November 2010 there's a republican majority.

But it wasn't the guns, it was Bush was actually good again and everyone missed him.. hmm. Well it's definitely another reason besides guns due to this survey that says that people like the current gun laws as written.

The tea party didn't complain about guns, they complained about lazy ~~blacks~~ moochers, hope this helps!
