But what is worse, some pissed off people who vent a little or the side that has done absolutely nothing to provide real solutions to real problems and instead single handedly devise policies and laws that made every crime & gun violence problem MUCH worse?
Bit it's not going to be decided by either side that is entrenched in their position and they will never change their mind.
'Policies and laws'...'lawmakers' make those policies and laws. The ballot box is the only true 'poll' and the largest segment of the electorate is the unaligned middle. The 'independents. This thread is about Virginia..30 seat walkover for the democrats.

Today 38% of Americans aged eighteen and older consider themselves politically "independent" of either major party. Among this group, only 1-2% indicates belonging to a specific third party while the rest are unaffiliated. A slightly smaller percentage of Americans, 34%, consider themselves Democrats today while the smallest share, 28%, identify as Republicans.
If a 'side' garners an additional 10-15% of 'independents', that side wins..pretty simple.
When nobody runs or one side's argument is bolstered by the rhetoric of the other side...

Use any comment or point of view, that the Mods agree with, here BUT when that rhetoric leaves a 'gun forum' and becomes the face of the opposition..that hurts the 'cause.

I hear a lot of push back on the supposed Tone of the conversation.
The 'tone' of the conversation is being used against the pro gun side.
Idiots, traitors, targets, retards, ISIS supporters(sorry).
Examples are everywhere. Insulting Bloomberg, Beto, Biden, AOC, put name of Dem candidate here..does nothing but rile up their base.

But one thing I know, reasoning with the other side does nothing. All the while they are creating a generation of pot smoking low achievers who aspire to be homeless.
Sorry but IMHO, I don't think that accomplishes anything if it were to become mainstream..BUT absolutely your right to say it..just trying to recognize the 'situation'..What happened in VA isn't any solution.

How do you 'reason' with the other side?.

Win on election day...Rules of 'war', whoever wins the war makes the rules..
