I agree, and on state levels and local levels, party isn't completely an indicator. In Michigan, we would not have gotten CPLS passed without 1/3 to 1/4 of the dems backing it(Eileen DeHart and Chris Dingell most notably). 1/3 to 1/4 of the GOP opposed it, Joe Schwarz most actively. The problem is the dem leadership in the national level and their top funders. They are hard core antis like George Soros, the university crowd, the trial lawyers lobby, public health lobbies, and Hollywood. Beign anti-2a to them is as important as being pro-choice.
So are you ready to talk about the "pro-gun" policies of some illustrious GOP Senators such as McCain, Warner, and Chafee?
I'm a Republican who has voted against anti-rights Republicans (one at a small level in the last election) in the past and would again. I also would not vote for Joe Schwarz whose running in the 7th district if I lived in that district.
I will give you credit for admitting that John Kerry is an anti. That's more than his campaign has been doing which is a mirror image of Andrew McKelvey's AGS's wolf in sheep's clothing scheme which insults my intelligence and PO's me more than someone like Major Owens or John Conyers who is out in the open about their gun views.
Any anyone that votes to ban the .30-30, whether it be John Kerry or Lincoln Chafee doesn't deserve to be elected dogcatcher.

My response: Nothing to argue with there. But there are folks at the lower levels in the Dem party who do not agree with the grabbers.

My response: Good. The party labels usually don't mean much. Especially in the south. Lining up to drink the koolaid, regardless of who is dispensing it, is usually a dumb idea.

My response: dogcatchers get a bad rap. We shouldn't malign their otherwise good reputations by associating them with gun confiscators.
