Main Paineframe posted:Sure. The problem is that the "gun control is killing the Dems" people expect me to believe that these people would vote for higher taxes on themselves to support poor people, affirmative action that helps minorities but not themselves, and other assorted progressive measures that involve sacrificing their white privilege and economic prosperity and even safety in order to help the less fortunate, but the possibility of experiencing mild inconveniences in the course of their gun hobby is the one thing they absolutely have to vote selfishly on? Bullshit. They'd still be voting Republican even if the Dems left the status quo as otbis and didn't push further gun control. It's not so much that dropping the issue would get more people to vote Democratic, it's that it would motivate fewer people to vote Republican. Attempts to pass gun control fire up the Republican base and result in greater votes on that side while they don't do much to rally Democrats.

You think minorities are going to start voting Republican if the Democrats drop support for gun control?
