Ed Rendell to Democrats: Time to Be ‘Single-Issue’ Gun Control Voters
breitbart.com ^ | 7/27/2016 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 07/27/2016 7:08:48 AM PDT by rktman

Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell (D) tells a gathering of activists in Philadelphia it’s time for Democrats to be “single issue” voters for gun control.

The gathering was co-hosted by the PA SAFE Caucus, “Everytown for Gun Safety, American State Legislators for Gun Violence Prevention, CeaseFirePA,” and Gabby Giffords’s gun control group, Americans for Responsible Solutions.

According to Daily Local News, Rendell said, “If we’re going to make progress, the message we have to take is that we’re going to be single-issue voters. I don’t care about e-mails or anything else, (but) we need to vote for Hillary Clinton because she is someone who is going to make progress on gun control.”

Never underestimate the power of the media’s help on this issue.

Don’t be too sure. After the idiot voters here put Tommie The Commie Wolf in to ‘payback the GOP’ for Corbett, anything can happen.

Gun owners care. Here’s hoping Hillary jumps on that issue and proclaims it widely and proudly. It worked really well to get Gore and Kerry elected.

Let’s hope she too grabs the third rail of American politics.

Those dems that win big, do so because they lie so well.

Misrepresentation and outright lies give them the ring.

It has gone full circle.

Now dems think their Shiite don't stink, and they can get votes and win big by being honest.

LOL

Campaign AD material that Trump and the NRA will use. She is going to lose every single pro-gun state.

Nothing far-fetched about that, at all.

The media is losing their edge too.

In order to push gun control, they have to address terrorism and they don’t seem to want to touch that topic with a 10 foot pole.

Are they going to go to Alaska and take their guns away?

I agree.

Democrats should run on a platform of gun confiscation and repeal of the Second Amendment.

Do you feel lucky, punks? Bring it.

Does anybody get the idea that SWMNBN is the designated loser this election? She certainly has enough enemies.

I took one look at the pictures on this story and it made my blood run cold - it was all I could do not to head for the nearest gun store & load up with a few “assault” weapons and ammo. They are threatening the U.S., too - the title doesn’t say it, but the jihadis are showing a picture of the Statue of Liberty (2nd pic). Sure Eddie/Hilly - go for stripping America’s gun owners or their rights & weapons and see what the result is. 61 speeches the first day of the ‘Rat convention and not ONE mention of ISIS. Omuslim is sending US money to terrorists groups in the ME ... I feel REAL safe, especially after the way Hilly came to the defense of the American citizens under attack in Benghazi .....NOT.

What Democrat gun grabbers are succeeding in doing is turn a bunch of voters into single issue Pro 2nd Amendment voters!
People are much more passionate about losing a right they have than they would be passionate at taking away somebody else’s rights away.

Do they really think that a majority of American voters would vote to reject the constitution?

The media working 24/7 to undermine it could easily result in at least a substantial plurality rejecting that "old, tired document written by dead white guys".

We need to make sure all Democrat locations have Gun Free Zone signs in abundance.
